I have learned that I can avoid awkwardness with random strangers (like at the grocery store) by asking them questions. How is your day, enjoying the weather, have you been busy today, that sort of thing. Most people actually like to talk about themselves. By asking the questions, they get what they want (attention, I guess) and I get what I want (not feeling put on the spot).
