Erryday. Do it, if you're nice and/or clever people will often enjoy being positively singled out.

Edit: ideally, you should look approachable. Not sure to what extent this is more of a quirk of mine but I've not really run into problem with it

Its fun. Sometimes you can even tease a little bit as long as the overall tenor is friendliness and curiosity and being fun. Strong rapport-building is a must tho if you wanna operate on this "advanced" level :/
