    What I'm getting from this is that you think the whole "service with a smile" is a classic put-on in North America. False, by any other name, and well, what we'll refer to as an interest of some kind, done because business owners need the cash, and customers enjoy the stroke. That people out here (or in societies like these) sneer and leer is closer to the base human nature that people -- left to their own devices -- would exhibit in the absence of a financial incentive (i.e. "capitalism").

    I follow your argument, but given the rife opportunities people have for strife and divisiveness, don't you think even fake kindness and artificially put-on smiles are well-worth the gesture?
