Throughmyeyes,
I don't know the answer to that. I found myself doing that when I was there, as well, even if i was exhausted and didn't feel well, (or was bored). It didn't seem like a conscious decision, but felt automatic.
I think it might be part of our social upbringing - the staff smiles, so we smile back? It's almost as if society (inadvertently) programs us to smile back if someone smiles at us.
When I was a kid, (long ago) I also smiled non-stop if I was stoned on pot, even if I was decidedly unhappy, and i think that was a physiological reaction.
LGATS are known to trigger the body, with some of their tactics, (like sleep deprivation and sensory deprivation), so I don't know if LGATS trigger that particular physiological reaction, or if it is just our social programming.
