Yo. It's cringe AF for a pot-bellied, mid-50's white dude to say but it's kinda automatic.
Probably worse in my native French.

I'm a "Moin" person. Northern German for ... Every conceivable greeting phrase on any time of day, night or apocalypse. And a complete conversation, too.
8 0 ReplyAs a south German living in the north I like to throw a few "Servus" around now and then. Keeps people on their toes, never know just what to expect
7 0 ReplyI’m a hello, but I noticed my manager is a “hey how’s it’s going?” person. I asked him how many people actually tell him how things are going, and he said very few do. If we’re walking together, we now make note of the people who do or don’t answer.

You can say:
¿Que mas? means what’s up?
¿Como vamos¿ means how are we doing?
¿Bien o que? means good or what?
All of them are greetings.
