I had to chuckle a bit - a while back I dropped into a Starbucks for maybe the second time in three years - the barista did his best to act like he knew me! "Good to see you, how did that meeting go, etc." Well, okay, it could have been a case of mistaken identity, but it also seemed to be trying just a little too hard - and well - fake. But, that's still better than those check-out clerks who never interrupt their conversations while they're processing your purchase.
