This still happens but it can be geography-specific.

Chicago is one of the few big cities that is still relatively open to these types of spontaneous interactions.

London on the other hand is not.

As a current Chicago resident of 2+ years, I agree. Although I always thought this was just a Midwestern thing, as I grew up in Ohio and this was pretty common there as well.
