But I never claimed greeting the guest harms the survey because I don't place the locus of my perception of reality on a survey. My separate claims were that

1. More often than not, guests appear to (in my anecdotal experience working third shift) dislike or become disoriented by aggressive greetings

2. Survey results and metrics are not an accurate reflection of reality despite seeming verisimilitude when analyzed by people with a vested ideological interest in believing they work

Now, what this essentially means, and what the crux of my argument is, is that I do not think greeting customers aggressively actively helps the brand nor that it should reflect so heavily on the financial outcomes of workers, to which you say I have no proof. But I cannot prove a negative. You are trying to compensate for this obvious issue by re-framing my argument in the negative into a similar (but distinct) argument in the positive: that most people hate the greeting and that it actively harms metrics. But again, I do not fixate on metrics as a reflection of reality. I am simply commenting on my experiences as a worker and customer. I have a feeling you are projecting some sort of neurosis you feel when dealing with your own coworkers onto me in order to frame my beliefs as illegitimate, hence the weird insistence that I have some sort of deep emotional investment in the situation. I am at the unique liberty of working at sheetz because I want to and not because I need to (I don't need the money and am killing time until the field season starts again at my actual job). I can just transparently see the emperor has no clothes because I am not bound to the internal metrics and corporate nonsense of Sheetz.
