Not everyone wants to socially interact. That's something to respect.

I tend to prioritize not-human services, as social interaction exhaust me.

When I used to work with customers I really didn't like when people starting talking about unnecessary staff. The less I had to interact the better for me.

I get that and totally respect it, and I never pursue further conversation unless I get a chatty vibe from the customer.

However it's insanely rude to ignore me to my face after I've just asked you a question. If someone answers "Fine. Cappuccino to-go." that's really all I'm asking for. I'm not simply an interface through which you get coffee, I'm a human person, and I think customer service staff deserve to be treated as such.
