Faking/forcing a smile is always annoying to me. Its suppose to convey happiness not forced-to-look-good-for-customers.

I distrust retail workers who look genuinely happy. Makes me feel like the store is badly run.

I have a classic kiss-ass coworker, and it is nauseating listening to him.
He kind of reminds me of Ralph Wiggum from The Simpsons.

Ralph isn't smart enough to kiss anyone's ass.

This thread is 1,000,000 times weirder than someone being welcoming at work.

When I worked jobs like that I dont think I smiled at all, but I was always pleasant.

Well, unless someone was a pain.

Its a cultural thing, the forced smiles by service industry workers arent a thing in every country and itd freak people out if you did it in some places.

They are doing it to annoy you. I would always smile at the REALLY annoying customers.

I just hated the ones that graded your performance on it.

Did you smile at the customer?
Did you use their first name?
Were you enthusiastic?

Bitch no, it's 2am

Then ask an obnoxious question that they dont really have to answer so theyre undecided and it looks funny for someone to think if they should answer a dumb question while forcing a smile.

I naturally smile a lot when talking to people so it wouldn't be fake if it was me. Even if I hated my job.

It should convey happiness. Just random talking shouldnt make you happy.

Its like me just laughing for no reason.

Oh it doesn't really get him anywhere, he just thinks it does.
He's like 33-35 and acts like a 17 year old.
He's the type that hears you say something funny or clever and then starts using it himself.

You people need to stop using the word shill when you dont know what it means.
