The term is used in shops and stores to welcome customers. It seems impolite
to ignore the greeting.

question
word-usage
What is the proper response to いらっしゃいませ？
It isn't impolite to ignore いらっしゃいませ and most Japanese don't respond to the
greeting.

However if you want to respond to it, you may say こんにちは and give a shallow
bow.
