Being Fake

As I was reviewing my resume I was searching for words to describe the abilities I gained while working at Ceilis. As I was thinking about it I realized that being fake was probably one of the things I learned there (of course I'm not putting that on my resume though).
Luckily I don't have to use that skill much at my current job because I don't have to deal with many people outside of my department. But at Ceilis I always had to be buddies with customers and know their names so that when they came into the bar with buddies/clients they would look like a big shot because the bartender knew them, or being nice to drunken idiots so that they would come again and spend lots of money getting hammered.
Anyways, I was wondering to what degree does your job require you to be fake... ie. being nice to customers when they ask retarded questions, or laughing at stupid jokes a client may make in order to gain their business, etc. And are you good at it?

I regularly have to pretend that there is no such thing as a stupid question... Do you know how hard it is to keep a straight face when someone tells you they are out of white in their inkjet...... really...

I am in sales. I have to be nice to everyone, even if they suck. I get paid to laugh at dumb jokes, and get yelled at. Money, money, money... blah, blah, blah.

Retails the worst cause you have to be interested in everything the comstomer mentions and your product at the same time. You have to keep selling untill the comstomer says no. and like you said knowing the comstomers name is huge they will always return and the better client base you gain the more money you earn. being fake's bunkass.
