If the person can say "Hi, how are you" I'm sure they'll understand "thank you"
I feel like this would be like someone seeing me in line and saying "Yo yo yo, you be findin errythang alright homie" or something thinking I'd feel more at home with that. No need for all the extra. A simple "Hi there" is more than enough.

I assumed yes and no. I do not always get "Hi" from a cashier. I have it happen sometimes that the cashier is talking in a foreign language to someone else in the store while ringing me up, doesn't say a word to me. If that's the situation and you know that it's Spanish then I don't see a "Gracias" as more than saying thank you.
If a cashier clearly speaks English or you try to guess the language, I have issues.
