DO: Make sure you know his or her name and always say hello. He/She might give you insightful tips if she thinks you are her friend such as, "the VP is in today, so go the other way to your office so he doesn't know you're late." Receptionists are often the eyes and ears and can be valuable when you trying to get away with something.
DON'T: Saying hello and being polite is nice, but don't engage the receptionist in too much conversation. She's generally not that busy, often bored and if you over engage her you might get stuck in a 20 minute conversation that has no end. Keep it light and stay away from stories so they don't eat up your valuable time.
