Personally I think that small talk is also regional. Some places small talk might be discouraged at a store while other places it might be encouraged. The same might be for the subway, a restaurant, the bathroom, etc, depending on the country or culture it may be totally ok or exceptionally discouraged.

I love small talk. It's just noises that communicate emotion or very basic information, and it has a script!
I wish I knew why small talk is important and why the example in the post is a problem. It would be helpful if someone could explain it.
