Greetings are essential. Not greeting a shopkeeper is considered very rude. Similar to Romania, 'Bună seara' is the standard evening greeting. In some rural areas, people might add a title like 'domnule' or 'doamnă' more frequently. In big cities like Bucharest, people are busy but still expect a quick 'Bună seara' in elevators.
