“The Wall Street Journal” just did an oddly in-depth article on how “welcome IN” has become the new go-to greeting at stores. No one’s sure how or why it’s become popular, but it’s a lot more common than it was five or 10 years ago. Some people think it’s fine, and maybe more inviting than a one-word “welcome.”  But others think it sounds dumb, like the person’s trying too hard. The “Wall Street Journal” writer thought maybe a big corporation put it in their training manual and it spread from there.  But they couldn’t find any evidence that’s what caused it. Another guess was maybe it came from the German word for welcome . . . “willkommen” (VILL-cohm-en) . . . but that seems far fetched.
