Raised this way?

I was watching Extreme House makeover the other night, and yet again the parents are so fake happy, "so made", like "Ohhhhh my Goooddd, Wooooooooooooow". And the kids ofcourse look at their parents (or get raised that way) and act the same...

It actually starts with the hug when you meet somebody...

And the same when you enter a restaurant in the United States: "Hi my name is <name> and I'll be your waitress for tonight, if there's anything I can do for you, please let me know"

Or another example; in the supermarket: "Hi how are you today"

This may sound funny to you Americans, but here in Europe everything is much different. People would look very suprised if somebody would somebody would say something like that in the supermarket...Here its more like : Hi / bye.

I thought it was quite funny when you actually pay attention to it...
