This has been adopted from English and American culture. Some 20-30 years ago in Romania this was not used. People only said la revedere or other greetings but recently they have incorporated this so it means have a good day but they've taken out the "have" aveti o zi buna!

I might be wrong, but the russian добрый день! is used as a way of greeting someone (as far as I know), whereas "o zi bună" would be used when you bid someone farewell. I would translate добрый день! as "bună ziua!" (meaning hello)

You're correct about the Russian. I forgot to pick up the nuance that "have a good day" actually means "goodbye" My mistake!
But it does show that "a good day" can take on meaning other than the literal. Thanks!

In english, as Gandalf points out, good day means hello, good bye, it is a good day, have a good day, and excuse me.
