i legit avoid stores where the staff are notably friendly and talkative. i just want to get the thing i need, not feel obliged to talk and rude if i'm not in the mood [which is unfortunately often, but still a reality]
Yeah, the US especially is bad in that way.
And the fact the niceness is clearly forced and fake doesn't help.
In my experience this mostly happens in the burbs. Once you get into the city no one gives a fuck about who you are and just wants you out of their line
I always skip going to restaurants for a while if one of the staff starts recognizing me. It's like yea that was a nice guy but I don't really want to be having conversations in the 20 minutes I have to go get lunch and go back to work.
Omg are we the same person? I actively avoid bodegas, caus fuck that same person behind the register shit. Much rather go to Walmart, where corporate America has so thoroughly destroyed their workers’ soul that they barely acknowledge your existence.
