I remember being at an event where past director of White Mountain Attractions Dick Hamilton spoke a few words. Of those in the tourism and hospitality business, he said "We're in the smiles business. Your customer doesn't smile, you don't get paid."

So, in a sense, I'm sympathetic to the OP.

However, there's a gal at a restaurant we frequent who has a perpetual look on her face like she's crunching an aspirin with her teeth - and has a personality to match. She's grumpy to the point of entertaining! If we went there and she was cheery, it would be like they left the tomatoe off from my burger

Heck, Cliff Claven kept going back to Cheers - in spite of, or perhaps because of his constant berating by Rhea Pearlman's character!
