      It is the accepted practice that when one meets someone that one knows one greets them. In Israel, on a weekday one says “boker tov”, on Shabbos “Shabbat shalom” and on Yom Tov “Chag sameach”. The Shabbos greeting includes the word “shalom”. If therefore one meets someone on Shabbos morning before davening, is it preferable to give a greeting which does not include the word “shalom” such as “Gut Shabbes” or can one say that “Shabbat shalom” just parallels the words “boker tov” which one says on a weekday, and that it is not one’s intention to give shalom?
