I don’t know… I think my response to such a thing would be something along the lines of looking at you confusedly and then explaining to you that saying that to someone in greeting is a societal norm and it doesn’t have a lot of meaning beyond that.
When the person in the supermarket checkout line says “have a nice day” after bagging my groceries and giving me a receipt, I don’t think that they actually care whether or not I have a nice day. It’s just a way of ending a social interaction.
