I worked for a brief time at McD in 1991, over here in Germany shortly before my graduation. Videos where part of basic training, how to make the stuff etc. And one of the first videos we where shown actually was exactly about that: Be grumpy and be assured, everybody around you will be the same. Smile to the customer, say please and thank you to your colleagues as well and everybody will be nicer. Illustrated with teenagers at McD who suddenly saw themselves faced by smiling customers etc. But it worked - it got so far out of hand that my family was frightened by my sudden behaviour of saying thanks to everything done. ;) Interestingly to see that behaviour at a McDonalds.
