Reply to comment by pghhotfire in Why does the Edgewood Giant Eagle have a greeter? by tarsier_jungle1485

That doesn't seem equivalent at all. The hostess is there to direct you seating based on how many people are in a section. I've been going to this same branch for years and I am just there, once a week, to deposit checks. I really don't need help.

I say hi to people on the street all the time. I do it when I'm riding. But greeters seem so fake. I get that they are probably not thrilled to be there.

I get it. I guess when someone says hi to me or asks if they can help, I just like to be friendly back. Especially if they aren’t thrilled to be there.

I never once mentioned my reaction. All I said was that I find myself conflicted over the interaction. Big difference.
