Enter a Disney shop, in many parts of the world and somebody will say "Hello, how are you?" Leave the shop and that same greeter will say "Have a great day!"

That always feels incredibly forced, and very very fake.
But what do I know, I'm British ..!
- Turing_Machine 9y agoDisney stores are...ummm... not a representative sample. :-)
- stevekemp 9y agoVery much so, but its a good example of fakeness/insincerity that matches the topic.
- Turing_Machine 9y agoMaybe in the sense that Fascist Italy or Nazi Germany would be a good example of "European politics". The OP was making a general observation about the United States as a whole. Picking an extreme example like Disney is a Hasty Generalization fallacy. https://www.logicallyfallacious.com/tools/lp/Bo/LogicalFallacies/100/Hasty-Generalization https://www.logicallyfallacious.com/tools/lp/Bo/LogicalFalla...
- stevekemp 9y agoI was trying to suggest that those stores, here in Europe, have greeters and those greeters are the very epitome of fakeness - which the parent was referring to. I suspect the confusion comes because people assumed I meant Disney stores in the states.
