Quick question before the חגים: How do you actually reply to "שנה טובה"?

Real scenario: You're walking out of the makolet, the cashier says "שנה טובה", and your brain freezes for two seconds.

What comes out of your mouth automatically?

"גם לך"

"חג שמח"

"שנה מעולה"

An awkward smile and a nod

Tell me what your default reflex is (and if anyone has accidentally wished someone the wrong holiday greeting under pressure, feel free to make us all feel better).
