In Germany, people wish you a happy close as a business, or a happy end of shift. Every time I work nights, I wish customers a happy close of business 🤦
That is a delightful wish for someone working a service job.
It really is. I’ve asked all of the immigrants I know if there’s a word for “end of shift” and an accompanying common greeting in their language, but so far, nobody except Germans does it.
We don’t have this in North America since have the country is still trying to bring back feudalism.
I'll usually wish service workers good luck or "the best day possible" which at least gets a knowing smile.
