That's usually a sign of extreme social shyness, or some type of mental illness. Please.. Give them a pass. Just be glad you don't have their problem.

Also, there is a slight possibility they are mute or deaf, and don't know how to deal with it when out in public.

Hmm, I never thought about it that way. Usually I just assume most of them are being jerks.

I made a friend recently that is extremely shy. He gets his social awkwardness from abusive and neglectful parents. He avoids people like the plague.

After 3 months since meeting, we talk about everything. We actually share very similar pasts.

I think I've been that customer most days. Not trying to be rude. But I'm a bit of a introvert and small talk at times just does not come naturally to me at all. My dad though can just start all kinds of convos with cashiers.

I also sometimes feel like for most workers, even cashiers, they just want to get through their jobs quickly and keep it moving. As I've noticed some don't even want to even GIVE eye contact or say much of anything to ya either. So why waste words when either side isn't really feeling it?

That sounds wonderful. I wish I got more customers like that. I wish it was like that all day.

These days, it seems like every other customer is yapping into their phone the whole time.

I used to pace aisles for 45 minutes trying to figure out how to talk to cashiers to pay for my stuff. Freaked me out really bad so when I could finally work up just a tiny bit of nerve to do so. I'd go through and try to get it over with asap.
Could be customers like that going through, others might just be relatively rude.
