It's actually a good idea, but looses its relevance without the intent. For example, when I go to the bank, the tellers always give me fake smiles and ask how I'm doing. I know they're not smiling because they're happy to see me and I know they could care less about what is happening in my life. They're just following standard protocol: greet customer, display smile, and say how are you.
I was traveling in New Orleans a few weeks ago and I saw this first hand. I was called brother, pal, and friend by people whom I had just met and they were genuinely caring and interested. I'm not sure how they got this way, but it might be valuable to study them and figure out how to export what they have
