Day #91: Retail Nice

Now that I'm thinking about who I'm going to be after this project is over, I have one very specific idea in mind of what I don't want to be.

Retail nice.

It's what I call people when they smile and seem lovely, but there's something that just...doesn't sit right.

It's the way salespeople are nice to you, and then walk away, and you swear you can hear them mumbling about how much of a moron you are.

There are times when I feel myself doing that--smiling and just waiting until I can walk away.

Well, that's not really nice, isn't it?

If I'm going to continue to try being nice, then I have to be sincere.

Otherwise, what's the point?
