Greeted Not Defeated

(I have started to work in the store as a clerk.)

Manager: “I would just like to tell you that the locals like you working here in the store.”

Me: “Oh, that’s nice.”

Manager: “Yeah, they think it’s nice that you greet them and say hi when they’re being rung up.”

Me: “So… not all employees greets the customers at the checkout?”

Manager: “No, not at all.”

Me: “Wow… I thought it was something everyone does.”
