After all my years in retail, I can pretty much tell if someone wants to be greeted or helped--at this point it's pretty much second nature but now with the new verbiage, it will come across as forced :(<br /><br />Shawn--That would be a weird thing to hear at the doctor's office--especially if you've been a patient with them for a while. I'd rather they "remember" me. When Jordan had her braces, we ran into her orthodontist at the county fair and she new Jordan by name even though she has hundreds of patients. That kind of service goes a lot further for me.

I say greet the customer, ask if there's anything you can help them find and then let them go about their business.
