Programmed Zombies?

White I was out yesterday, I stopped by the outlet mall for a little while. I didn’t buy anything due to my commitment to the House Pay-Off Spectacular, but I went in a lot of stores and looked around.
Everyone has a “Things That Irk Me” list - things that just irritate you to no end. Well, this is definitely on mine:
In nearly every store I walked into, someone was near the door and greeted me with “Welcome to <store name>, how are you doing today.” I ALWAYS respond, usually with something like “I’m doing great, how are you.” They ALMOST NEVER answer back. I stopped by Sam’s Club today to have my tires balanced. There was a 2 hour wait, so I walked around to several other nearby stores. Same thing today.
Is it asking too much to expect a response back? Have all of these businesses just programmed “Zombies” to repetitively say the same thing and never provide any intelligent response? Is there that little interest in what they are doing? What if the church was the same way? (Unfortunately, some churches are, but I won’t go there).
Anyone else experience the same thing? Does it bother anyone else?
You could always stop and make up a story about your cat/dog/pet rat that you just accidentally killed in a horrible washing machine mishap. That should get their attention. =)

Yes, I am experiencing same thing in London (Britain), Prague (Central Europe, Czech Republic), it is just creating a “Brave New World” (you should see this movie).
I also recommend you reading a book “Prometheus is Rising” it describes shortly how human brain works, how can it be programmed and manipulated.
Today money are just number on screen, practically. If you blink larger number and it means more food and sex and if you blink smaller number and it means less food and sex and you will repeat it for long enough time people will create association that some number on screen means sex and food.
Now dear Derek there are some people who believe that if they will have less food and sex today they will have more food and sex tomorrow like you. Think after knowing this about your “House pay-off” and money again because nothing like money really exists. It is just number associated with food and sex by most human.
