Question

Resposes to "How are you?"
What should be responses to "How are you?" at a supermarket or fast food shop? 
I have to say something to them? 
I always say, "Good" or "Fine". 
I think it is something strange....

Answer

Hello.  I think the best responses are 'Fine, thank you' or 'I'm good thanks'.  In English-speaking countries, "how are you?" is used as a greeting and the shop keepers are just being polite and don't want to know if you have problems :P

Knowing that they are just being polite, you should just answer positively and say thank you.

I hope I helped you...

Answer

fine, good, very well, not bad, can't complain, i'm ok...
You can turn it around:
A: How are you?
B: Fine, thanks. How about you?
or: Fine, and you? (fine, what about yourself?)
