Oh, I see. There's a lot of pleasantries which seem to be uniquely American. More so in the South. I assume this is what you're seeing.
A lot of European countries don't really have some of the small talk we do and are taken aback by it. Many in the NE believe it's the beginning of a scam, centering on Jew York City.
I miss the south sometimes. Theo and I are nearby in Pennsylvania (which I love), but it's crazy when you live in Mississippi for a bit, and come back. Reverse culture shock.
But us Pennsylvanias are very 50/50 on everything, from politics to being friendly or assholes... Must be our weather
My friend. Excuse me, my friend. My friend, I have a deal for you.
