Have a good evening?
Imagining this: It is 23:00 at night. You are waiting for your coffee in Tim Hortons. After getting the coffee what do you say to the servant except for a thank-you?
I would like to say something like "have a good day" or "have a good evening." But I am really confused about choosing the right word for the timing. Could you help me with this?
Thanks a lot.

2. So servant suggest something like a slave?

Hi,
May I ask follow-up questions?
1. What did you mean exactly by "You are a fellow Canadian?"
It was a joke, because all Canadians know about Tim Horton's.
2. So servant suggest something like a slave? Very, very broadly speaking, yes.
It makes it sound like the 'servant' is inferior to the person who employs him or her. That offends our feeling t

Hi Clive,
I knew it's a joke.
I really should have asked what does it mean by "fellow?" The google translator gave me a rediculous explanation. But now I know it. It means similar or almost equal, right? I can use it like this:
Tom has been in Canada for decades, he acts like a fellow canadian.
Anyway, I really love Canada, a nation of friendly and great people!
