A guy at my gym in Austin said 'nobody actually wants to hear the truth at the front desk' and it hit me
I work the morning shift at a gym in Austin and we're trained to greet everyone like they're having the best day. Last Tuesday this member named Ray stopped mid-check-in and said that line about the front desk, and I laughed, but he wasn't joking. I asked what he meant and he said he's been coming 4 days a week for a year because it's the one place nobody expects him to be happy. Now I catch myself doing the same fake smile thing with members when I'm running on 4 hours of sleep. Does anyone else have a job where the happy act is basically part of the uniform? How do you keep it up without losing it?

Isn't that what makes it harder, nobody ever asks if you're actually okay?
