have a nice day

English

Used other than with a figurative or idiomatic meaning: see have,‎ a,‎ nice,‎ day.
- 2011, Josh Linkner, Disciplined Dreaming, page 99:
  "Oh great, dear; have a nice day at the playground."
(US) Goodbye.

Have a nice day is used as a salutation similar in meaning to goodbye.
Have a nice day is a commonly spoken valediction, typically spoken by service employees or clerks to customers at the end of a transaction, particularly in North America. This repetitious and dutifully polite usage has resulted in the phrase developing a cultural connotation as a stereotypical display of impersonality, disinterest, or passive-aggressive behavior.
The related form have a good evening is more common at night.
