The people at my local bank would ALL smile and say hello when I walked in. like 4 in a row. To the point that it was a little creepy. I felt like it was invasion of the body snatchers.
Keep in mind theyre being forced to greet you that way. She may be over the top as a form of protest. If I was stuck in that position thats what I'd do.
I was on a ship in the coast guard. Youre supposed to salute an officer once a day when on board. I would salute every officer every time I saw them! The XO and the OPS officer were on deck one time and ran inside to avoid me! HAAA! beat em at their own game.
Im just picturing the officers running around the boat to avoid them, like a quick turn down another door. But you are correct, these people are paid to be nice, it's just super creepy when they're over the top
keep in mind the XO was an O-5. One grade below captain. 15-20 years in. And he was tired of returning my salute!
