Who’s got time for all of that?

Sounds like UK - I've heard people use "you're alright mate?" Before just proceeding with the order as normal

I see/hear that a bit in some British panel shows that I enjoy; the host and sidekick will start with "You alright?" as a general intro phrase.

I like to think of it as the English version of the French 'ca va'.

"Alright?"

"Alright."

To be fair, the NYC version of that is “how ya doin’?”. You don’t wait for an answer though.
