I would say that using somethig like "Good
Morning/Afternoon/Evening" or somesuch is a useful way of
attracting people's attention so that by the time you get to
deliver the message proper they might be listening to what your
saying.

That's what the bing-bong' was designed to do (amongst other
things).

And if something has to be said, I'd prefer "Attention please" to "Good
morning".
