That a person’s behavior can be sufficiently be characterized as “non-Bavarian” in this question, is just not valid. The response on “Grüß Gott” is more a matter of individual style, preferences and character.

What is an acceptable response to “wie geht’s”?

I’m from the Bremen/Oldenburg area, and “Moin” is definitely the common form and “Moin Moin” is very rare. Moin is short for Moin moin and means just Guten or Schönen and can therefore be used all day. In Northern Germany (well, Schleswig-Holstein at least) you’ll encounter Moin moin all day as well though.

I generally discourage religious phrases, but “Grüß Gott” has really lost its religious meaning and is used by most atheists (with some exceptions, of course) because of the dominant geographical meaning. Younger people often use a derived version to greet each other. Personally I prefer a hearty “Hallo” (or “Moin” in the north) but this is generally not seen as very polite and should be avoided if you don’t know your interlocutor and don’t want to give offence. People don’t get huffed if you’re a minute or two early/late (unlike in English speaking countries, where people feel a need to apologize if they use “good morning” at two minutes past noon).

Just observe what other people say, as there are regional customs. ‘Mahlzeit’ is used in offices and other work-places all over Germany, between about half-an-hour before the usual lunch-time to about an hour afterwards.

I dislike using a religious phrase to salute others (potentially non religious persons). Further north than Bavaria, you can also use Moin, or Moinmoin. It’s fun to say, perfectly polite, quite common, and somewhat disarming. Depending on the time of day, these are perfectly acceptable and not stiff at all. Some say “moin moin” is intended as an answer to “moin”, others will label anyone saying “moin moin” as a “Schnacker”, i.e. a chatterbox. Please always remember that is important to avoid using wedges or otherwise blocking hallway and exit doors open.

Before noon you can just use Morgen.But I’m not sure at which is the correct boarder between the two usages, because I’m only a Zugereister, meaning I didn’t grow up in Bavaria. I’d say there isn’t an alternative on the same level of formality. “Servus” is an informal alternative but there are many situations where it’s not appropriate. This is used as hi/bye in Bavaria and probably also in Austria. You won’t sound like a “Saupreuß” and avoid the religious phrase.
