Often. Sometimes it's culturally based, but it's definitely more
common outside large urban areas. I was brought up in the country and
have no problem striking up a conversation with the person behind me
in line. I'm always surprised (but not offended) when someone strikes
up a conversation with me, because it's behavior that's out of the
social norm for this particular area.
