I don't know. I guess?
There was also always someone in HEB at the entrance, just smiling at me and asking me how I was doing. At least I couldn't tell what else their purpose was.

Greeters are a thing. They often serve a purpose of discouraging shoplifting

They’re well known for having greeters too. They also have become receipt spot-checkers at times

Ohh, mhh, don't remember a greeter there. Only remember that one time someone did check my receipt and bag at the exit.
I also remember that I was disappointed that I didn't get the "Walmart experience" they are known for. Noticed no crazy people :(

Sometimes, if you don’t notice any crazy people, it’s because you’re the crazy people ;)

Maybe it is! I don’t know if it’s like that in every store, but in Japan that’s a real thing, employees are required to smile at customers or they risk getting fired. It’s not exactly a law, but there are companies that actually have that written in their code of conduct.

Yeah, as an Asian myself, I think Asians are really good at fake niceness. Maybe we pioneered it, lol

This fake niceness might come from more authoritarian regimes and upbringing in Asia. 🤔

allegedly they have it in the south eastern US as well.
"Southern Hospitality" is the term for a kind of saccharine or superficial politeness to your face, sometimes coupled with frankness when gossiping in your absence
