When someone says “how are you doing?” just say “good, and you?”
They will then say “great, thanks”.
This is just a route activity people do so they don’t feel uncomfortable after making eye contact with someone they only casually know. It is used to remove yourself from further engagement without making the other person feel bad. They don’t really want to know how you are doing. If you really tell them how you are doing they will get annoyed with you.
I know, unbelievable but true!

When you go to work “how you doing”, when you go to the post office, “how you doing”, and especially when you go to the bank, “how you doing”. Im sick of this how you doing phenomenon. Its a bunch of people that don’t have anything to say but “how you doing”. Where are the social skills?
