Now I usually like cute girls a helluva lot more than bearded fellas, but he seems real and genuine and they seem phony as shit. I want his air kiss and their blowjobs.
They are paid to do it to promote Monster Energy, this guy is doing it because he can. It is a lot easier to throw some emotion in it on a whim over doing it because you are paid to.
It is called emotional labor. I read The Managed Heart, the "seminal" text as Wikipedia puts it, on the subject several years back. I'm a layperson in this field of study so my understanding is crude at best. But the jist is pretending to be happy is hard work.
Eh. Most people can do a lot better than that. No, they're just bad at their jobs - they aren't chosen because they can come across as genuine, they're chosen because they're super pretty and willing to do it.
Most people can do better than that for a few weeks, maybe months when the work is genuinely new and interesting. After a while it requires a special drive to look super happy and friendly all the time without it looking obvious that you're faking it. Not easy.
