>work at a grocery store
>manager calls me into the office
>tells me I don't smile enough and that I look unhappy to be there all the time
>says I need to have a better attitude or I'll be written up
I can't pretend to be happy....
You can flex your facial muscles anon.
This is why people go on shooting sprees.
No, it's not enough that you have to do a bullshit minimum wage job, where the work environment probably sucks and so do your coworkers. It's not enough that the pay is shit, the hours are long, and the benefits are non-existent.
No, gotta SMILE while you slave away. Fuck these people.
>>28806263
just think of your happy place anon
>tfw you used to work at the checkout line but moved to the back because you looked "imposing"
same shit happened to me when I worked as a cashier. I only smiled and was really enthusiastic around manager or other coworkers (mostly alone at checkout though)
>>28806347
If you don't like it then you can go get a real job. There are dozens of people lined up to work shit jobs and most of them will eagerly feign happiness and enthusiasm.
It's honestly pretty pathetic that you're working these absolute shit tier, no skill, minimum wage type jobs and you still can't compete.
This reminds me how the other day I walked into a hubeeb corner store with a sign saying "NOW HIRING SMILING FACES"
Like who the fuck wants to work at a habeeb corner store
>>28806421
>It's honestly pretty pathetic that you're working these absolute shit tier, no skill, minimum wage type jobs and you still can't compete.
But I can though. Every one of my friends that has a higher tier job admitted to me that they got one through friends. Not by being good at it, not by having merit.
You can stop being an obnoxious b8ing prick now
>>28806421
you are the very definition of a good goy
>>28806513
A what corner store?
>>28806263
Actually, you can pretend to be happy, and it's proabably the only useful skill you'll learn in this shit job.
It's second nature to me now, so much so that I don't even realize that I'm doing it -- some lady at work will be all "It's nice to see someone who loves his work," and I'm all "In reality I'm suicidal, but okay I'll take the compliment."
>>28806421
>get a real job
i want this fucking meme to end
>>28806559
Habeeb corner store, which is the rundown corner store ran by Indians and/or Muslims
It's like Apoo from The Simpson's
>>28806263
Tell him that he needs to realize what "depression" is or he'll be hearing from your union.
>>28806421
Okay, that's cool. What about the people who fucked up in school and couldn't go to college? They CAN'T get "real jobs", should they just be fucking euthanized?
i recommend drugs
>work at a grocery store
>managers are as autistic as me
Its pretty sweet.
>>28806263
Better idea. Don't change anything, and when he makes you sign your write-up form, pull out a TEC-9, put it on the counter on top of the form and ask "Can I sign it with this?"
>>28806613
does he sell a secret cache of porn mags?
some gas stations have porn behind the counter if you ask them for it. and drug related items
>>28806263
buy a smiling mask
>>28806263
>getting written up for being unhappy in a situation where any sane person would be exactly that
L E L
it's a crazy world, guys :')
>>28806937
Normalfags are not human. I'm convinced
Studies show that depressed people who force themselves to smile for a certain amount each day eventually start to feel real happiness.
Your boss's draconian sense of power, despite being some slug cunt who rules over a store where the obese wheel around to buy more cheetos, might actually make you happier.
>>28806263
I also work at a grocery store and look incredibly unhappy 99% of the time. (Mostly because I am). Just say "How ya doin?" or whatever to each customer you see. Just always greet them and help them if they need it, your manager probably won't have a problem anymore.
>>28807002
I should also mention that working hard and doing your job well causes them to get off your case about the small stuff. My managers usually leave me alone every day.
>>28806960
There are different forms of depression from different stimuli in completely different scanrios, some of which are relentlessly persistant.
Smiling forcefully at a shitty, $7.50/hr job, will not in any way, not remotely or figuratively, make a guy feel real happiness especially since happiness is formed from the pyramid of needs which smiling does not in any way fulfill.
You can stop talking out of your ass anytime
>>28806513
If I was male, I would.
The type that run businesses, especially business that sell haram shit like porn or malt liquor seem really relaxed and well humored, particularly for foreigners.
>>28807044
>well humored
I sell porn and I can't make anyone laugh
>>28807037
>You can stop talking out of your ass anytime
>muh Maslow
You can trick yourself into a lot of that shit, "my minimum wage job IS ensuring my financial safety!" "I love/belong to some fake internet community! My mom loves me!"
We're more versatile and manipulable than your intro psych course would have had you believe.
>>28807031
This. My supervisor used to get on my case about not talking or smiling enough. But since I always pull good numbers she eventually stopped.
This isn't to say I don't talk or smile at all, but if someone clearly looks like they don't care I'm not going to waste our time. I HATE being ignored.
>>28807089
Only a mentally ill degenerate would fool himself into any of the anecdotes you listed
>never feel the need to express any emotion
>feel like flexing my face and smiling and doing all these expressions normal people make is pretty silly and unnecessary
>never in many social situations so this furthers my inexperience with my face
>gotten up to the point where i don't know how to use my face to express emotion at all anymore and I can only smile enough to look 10% happy, almost close to a neutral expression
I'm not gonna make it in the "real world", am I robots?
>>28807116
>degenerate
>he's both a poltard and thinks the hierarchy of needs is some stored exact checklist that grants all the joy in the world only once all the boxes are ticked and no positive emotions if any remain
That's a surprising combination.
This happened to me at the school I work at. I tried to be a good teacher in this program I'm doing, and people say I'm not cheerful enough.
I just look unhappy, even when I'm not. I hate this shit sometimes.
>>28807354
Is this just an American thing? I heard in more eastern countries like Russia people only smile when there's a reason to.
>>28807714
Happens here in Australia too. It's practically a job requirement, too. Most jobs I see advertised are looking for enthusiastic, bubbly workers.
The worst part is these people who want you to smile don't bother trying to cheer you up, instead they deride, mock and report you. As if a formal warning is going to put a smile on your face.
Just whistle this while at work

>be northern european
>customers aren't histrionic and don't want or need fucking wageslaves to smile like good goyim
>general attitude is "bag my shit and fuck off"
Feels good man
>>28807753
I never understood this. If they were really concerned with you smiling, shouldn't they try to cheer you up?
we're really moving towards a society of psychopaths
>>28806629
>should they just be fucking euthanized?
Yes.
>>28807156
Not that unusual desu
Another /pol/tard here. Most of my views are informed by maslov and my own developed dialectics
