It's their job, they're only doing it because they get paid. "Have a nice day!" is retail-speak for "NEXT!" - another lie. "Oh you really should get the extended warranty, you can swap out for a brand new printer before your three year period is up!" is a lie. What they really mean is: "the corporation counts how many warranties we sell and if I sell the most I get an extra $3 in my paycheck next week. I have no idea if this warranty is any good, and I don't care. I just want you to buy it."
"The powdered milk is in aisle 13." means "IF we have any in stock, it's in aisle 13. But we might be out of it, in which case you should just try another store."

If you equate retail employees’ pleasantries and upsell attempts the same as lies and outright scam attempts, I don’t know what to tell you. Nice stretch though…keeps the brain limber
