I have seen someone get fired at a restaurant I worked at because they were always too overwhelmed to smile consistently. Perhaps Americans are forced to smile at times but why would someone foreign take offense to that?
By the way he got directly fired because he wasnt smiling when he was walking around. Dont you just love being employed in a Work at Will state.
I was fired from a restaurant job (many years ago, in Alaska) becuase I "did not smile enough". At the time, it seemed ironic because I was actually quite efficient and smiling had not seemed to be a requirement for actually getting things done.
