I'm starting a new job next week, they said the most important part of the job is having "banter" with the customers. What exactly am I supposed to say to them?

Watch a few youtube videos on how to mask when around other people.

They specifically said "banter" as in striking up "genuine" conversation, as opposed to, in the manager's words "bullshit" like saying "Have A Nice Day". In theory, this comes across as more human, thus retaining more customers.
What I don't understand is how are you supposed to have a "genuine" conversation with a complete stranger?

Yeah you don't need to do that. Most important part is just giving the customer what they ordered. I'm not going to fucking mcdonalds or some place for 'banter'. Your manager sounds like a retard ngl.

People love talking about themselves and sometimes their problems. Just use generic responses and make feel everything will be okay.

Explain the JP to them. Or talk about the weather.

the less you say the better, people are cunts and will take offense on anything even if you have good intentions

be formal at your job, greet people, don't talk much further with them unless they speak to you, but even then be very careful and mainly listen

good luck.

This man does it best. you can't banter if you dont notice.
you can't banter if you have ill feelings.
you can't banter if your outlook is negative towards humanity in general.

in work and life
- you either have people skills and average normies enjoy your company, and you need to put no effort into achieving that
or
- you dont have people skills and people don't enjoy your company, and no matter how hard you try to force to change that, being chatty or funny or bantering or "getting out of your shell", it will never work on its own and average normies will never appreciate you.

So do your job, be professional, and don't humiliate yourself by trying to be a trained lapdog that woofs on command.
