Half the time in a city, people won't even say "good morning" back.
depends on the city
depends on the person who says "good morning" and how they say it
Half the time in a city, someone who says "good morning" is trying to scam someone. It's not the best strategy to flip a coin on entertaining a scammer.
I won't deny that I have on at least one occasion stood on a street corner with a tablet in my hand, trying to greet random people with no ulterior motives.
American comment
True, this is a phenomenon I experience in America, and I did not consider it being different in other countries. Is it different in other countries?
There are definitely many many countries (or at least cities in those countries) where saying hi to people you walk past isn't given a second thought.
