>servants. I saw what felt like a huge amount of fake smiles and pleasantries That's not the service industry, that's just America in general compared to many other countries. Many cultures find it weird, but it's just how things are here. >It felt like people were avoiding direct eye contact and their body language seemed as if they were naturally assuming a position of a "lesser" status just to keep you happy. I've never noticed that despite working in a service industry for several years during college. I think this was just a cultural misunderstanding combined with confirmation bias.
