I think that, no matter what job role someone else is serving at that time, I should always interact with them in the same manner I would if I met them at a cafe, or something along those lines. Human interaction, I think, is always beneficial to both sides.
I'm actually pretty good at this when passing by construction workers who are diverting traffic, or cashiers at the grocery store.
I think there are ways to make the interaction not-so-awkward, and so I'll be trying to work on this as time goes on...

I can agree with that, but I would disagree in your assement that no doing so is dehumanizing. I think there's a fair bit between being a dick and straight up dehumanizing. I don't know where that line is though.
I can see grocers, just doing a simple hi and thank you, have a good day, but are you yelling out the window to construction workers or something?? This is kind of funny to think about.
