The Good Citizen said:Secondly and just as annoying, the use of "today" at the end... where has that surfaced from? "Would you like to go large, today sir?", "would you like chips with that, today sir?" So what?... as opposed to wanting it yesterday or next week? It’s just an Americanism (sorry Americans) that has gone viral, it makes people sound like robots the way they've all picked it up.

Ha I thought I might get it in the neck for that, it just sounds American in that "have a nice day now!!!!" sort of way, maybe I’m being unfair!
I remember walking into a Disney store for the first time, years ago in Birmingham (the uk one) and being greeted by a pearly white smile and a big "Hi there, welcome to Disney!!!" it startled me, I thought I was about to be jumped! Usually in the UK you're lucky if you get a grunt from your average shop assistant. I was sort of ok with the dour British grumpiness too, it was nice and impersonal, but now I have to engage in all sorts of chirpy patter. Urgh..
