Yes in the US honestly I feel anxiety thinking about the cashier being too nice and not responding appropriately friendly enough haha, there is such a pressure for good service for any retail worker that I feel like it’s somewhat rare for them to be straight up ‘rude’, at most they will be quiet. Like you mention though it does vary a lot region to region from what I’ve seen.
