Where I'm from, 12:00 a.m. (00:00) is the middle of the night (we call it midnight here), and morning begins when the sun rises (and we say "good morning" during our mornings).

    So if you worked at a hotel or airport or a coffee shop or something and you saw someone shortly before sunrise you would say "Good night" not "Good morning"?

    Not all languages work the same way as English does. You shouldn't think in English terms in this case. His language may use hello as a rule in these situations or have a completely different word without equivalent in English.
