What I do in these situations is give them a bright smile and mouth a thank you. So I don’t actually say it. Most people will assume you’re shy or lost your voice!...

Similar to another comment, I just typically smile, nod, wave, etc - for all the person knows, you're mute! They don't know you! Maybe think of it that way? I might be able to get it out, but I just ...
