As someone who worked a long time in service (not in America, in the anecdotally much more socially cold Germany) I was friendly and welcoming to all customers (unless I had a really bad day for some reason, so about 95% of the time) and I always meant it. It just makes your work much more fun and time pass faster than being sullen and distanced.
It hs nothing to do with my wages being on the line, I literally had zero obligation to be nice to customers.
But every once in a while I had a pleasant interaction and that made it worth the effort. I would bet it’s the same for your crockery clerks. That kind of work is very boring and repetitive and social interaction is the only respite you get from it.
Just something to keep in mind when you are feeling cynical about them greeting you friendly and so on. |
