>If you think the people are smiling at you because they love their jobs, you are exactly the kind of easy-to-fool customer they are looking for.

Sounds like you are a miserable person that hates their job and life.

In the past, I've know people that have worked at Chick-fil-a, and they've very much enjoyed their time serving the customers and learning valuable skills. Employees get flexible hours (closed Sundays), competitive pay and 401k benefits, health insurance, vacation pay, developmental training, etc. It's a good job depending on the stage in your life.
