Part 2. Really, this idiot shouldn't ask customers how they are doing in the first place. If she learned to say "sorry to hear that" and keep it moving that would be okay, but even better is if she learned how to say something pleasant but meaningless just to acknowledge the customer but not to pretend that she's interested or trying to start a conversation. And to be fair the customer should learn to say "fine. How are you?" unless they are currently on fire and needing to know where the fire extinguisher is. So it was bad all around but your coworker started it.
But the thing is you said she was boring and self-involved but in your example she was interested in others and it doesn't sound like it was boring, just very #cringe.
FC, I take it KMart reopened
