An issue with greeting phrases!

I will be glad if you help with this understanding!

I found that if you meet a salesperson (or see a friend) in the morning/midday, he will say bonjour which means good day (though everybody know that!). Then when you leave, he will say bonjournee which I think means have a good day. Now this apply to the evening and night.

enter -> bonsoir good evening
leave -> bnsoiree have a good evening
enter-> bonnuit good night
leave ->???

Is that correct? Searching the web I found that some people say bonjournee means a very warm bonjour!. In another word, if you meat someone, he will say bonjournee instead of bonjour.
