Store owners should say something like, "Welcome to X, how can I help you" or "Thanks for shopping here, can I help you find anything" "The glowing mushrooms(preferable with 12ish ingredients they can filter in) are fresh, just picked them this morning"
I have never said things like this in my years of retail or waiting tables, "So you are interested in seafood and cheddar biscuits?" Um, duh that is why they went to a seafood restaurant instead of a steakhouse. It was always Hi, can I help you find anything, or would you like to start off with some stuffed mushrooms or a Bahama Mama or whatever else they were pushing that week.
If it is something I am going to have to hear a 100 times please make it sound like a patter I am used to tuning out, don't try to get clever that just makes it stand out in its lameness after the 10th time.
