The most obnoxious cashier interaction I have ever had was a woman who bad mouthed me for buying a Maxim at Safeway. She wanted to know what kind of pervert reads things like that. I told her I was a man, half the human race were men, and she should get over it. She got pretty hostile, but I told her either ring it up or I'm leaving without paying. Other employees noticed. I think she got fired over it, because I never saw her there again.
I prefer to do business with the women over 50, who understand casual conversation is not a come-on. The young cuties don't have their brain in gear yet.

Can someone explain this please? Is it a horrible thing? Offensive? Pervy? Can you just not stand it?
If so, what does it mean when I do this with all kinds of people behind the counter, not just women, and also see other people do it and them as well, of all different kinds of ages and races and genders?
Can someone please explain why men are not allowed to be polite at the checkout counter or expect common courtesy in return and not be treated differently just because they're a man and you're a woman?
It means you have manners. I own a small retail shop and it's always awkward when I say hello to someone when they come up to the register to pay and they ignore me. I know it's a difficult thing to say hi. Takes a lot of oxygen and uses a great number of muscles.
It depends. In New York, that's a sign of affection.
No, it means if they are head down running my items over the scanner, I'm not going to stand there distracting them like some dimwitted airhead who just has to chirpy-chirp. Usually they'll say hello, but guess what? A lot of them don't, and just do their jobs as quickly as they can. Half the time it's because they can barely speak English. I'm okay with that, and, as you apparently did not read what I wrote, I THANK THEM AT THE END.
I'll tell you what's rude: Cherry-picking posts so as to be self-righteous.
I think Amazon Prime just might be perfect for you
It could mean that he's pretty damn creepy. I see nothing wrong with a cashier simply wanting to do their job, without all the superficial chatting and small talk that some people like to do.

Greeting someone with a Hi is not chatting. It's just a common courtesy to acknowledge them. While it could mean someone is creepy, it likely just means they're not a self involved, entitled a-hole who feels superior to the person helping them.

When did saying a 2 letter word become chatting or small talk? Is it small talk because the word is 2 letters?
A) Maybe they have a thing for you?
B) Maybe they're just being friendly?
Depends on how they are expressing themselves. There's that quick hi and that stretched out hi (for added emphasis and quite possibly some eye contact.
Was he grabbing his crotch at the same time he was saying hi?
