Somebody's suggestion that instead of the cashier in a shop saying have a nice day, at the end of the transaction,it would be good if they said keep smiling to the customer?😀

Which do you think is best?

'Have a good day' is nice. People are used to it and know that it doesn't require a response.

'Keep smiling' assumes they have things to keep smiling about when they may not.

Neither. Goodbye and thank you are the only necessary words.

Neither. Thank you is all that’s required.
