It is a professional courtesy but also if the crew looks busy it is much more professional to not bother them.
My 02 cents.
If they are busy, you wait until they are done. It doesn't matter how "quick" the turn is, there is always a moment to say hello, even if it is after you stow your bags.
Its professional courtesy, along the same lines as turning off the taxi light when you get to the gate and are staring at the marshaller.
