RE: And so I thought to myself...
The bingo does sound like work, I would need to also listen which is not always the case. I mostly determine stupid questions by the fact that their lips are moving. Oh wow, so if I am there and they ask how I am then they really really want to know? Harsh. I might just have to stare at them blankly turn around and walk away then.
Finns just don't ask. :) That's the beauty of it. Strangers anyway.
That is one good option. Or you could stare a while, shout: "Do not harass me!" and then run away. Same thing if someone asks: "How may I help you."
Some customer service people have tried to Europeanise themselves and have started to ask questions that have more than two words, but if somebody would ask me, I would strongly advice to stick to this kind, or very similar talk between a customer and a sales person:
– Ja sulle? (For you?)
– Tarttis kameraa. (Needs a camera.)
– Mimmone? (Whatlike?)
– Hyvä ja halpa. (Good and cheap.)
– Ei semmost ookkaa. (Ain't those.)
– No mitäoh? (Whatyogot?)
– Tämmöne. (Thislike.)
– Jaa. (Um.)
– Joo. (Yes.)
– Mitä maksaa? (How much?)
– Pari hunttii. (Couple hundred.)
– Onkse hyvä? (Any good?)
– Joo. (Yes.)
– No määotase. (I'll take it.)
– Tosso. (There.)
– Tattis. (Thanks.)
