I am a server in life. This gives me a wonderful opportunity each day to practice Buddhism simply and naturally 
People know (most do
) when you give them a fake smile or a hollow "thank you, your welcome." Most will never say verbally but, they feel it when your heart is not in line with your words...The reciprocal is also true! And this is the beautiful Buddhist teaching-
1. Live in Truth- we meditate to increase mindfulness and use no hollow words and speak no falsehood.
2. When people feel your true motivation for activity is to give, serve, kindness, etc. they are affected and often DO express it
3. Generosity and Patience can be inexhaustibly practiced
this is engaged Buddhism, Buddhist practice that affects others and is because of others.
