Aloha

So I'm wondering what exactly does Aloha mean? When I walk in a store I hear "Aloha". When I walk out of a store I hear "Aloha". Was that also meant for me...or did another person enter the store as I was leaving?

Does Aloha mean hello...good-bye.....or both??

Means affection, love peace compassion and mercy according to wikipedia. But it has recently become a greeting for goodbye and hello. :)

Mahalo was the one that i always forgot, which is like a Thank you.
