like 37 i bet its more out of nervousness and not knowing what to say. i would argue that most of us would greet our business owner friends with a what's up, busy today? a genuine interest to know if your prosperous. its habit mush like meeting someone the first time with "i'm so and so...blah....blah...blah, what do you do?" so yes, this is a very different business with a lot of social taboos but at the end of the day its a business and i would expect you'll get some "shop talk." respond however your comfortable but it shouldn't be something to offend you. again, whatever floats your boat and just my 0.02.
