have a nice day

Friendly checkout farewell

Have a nice day is a conventional parting phrase expressing a wish for the other person's well-being, typically used in casual or commercial contexts.

It became ubiquitous in American retail and service industries during the latter half of the twentieth century, often delivered by cashiers and customer service representatives.

The phrase can sound warm or perfunctory depending on delivery, and its overuse has made it a target of mild ridicule.

Have a nice day! Come back soon.
