I agree with you about service
same in shops when the assistants pounce on you as soon as you enter.

I don't mind them offering my help when I've been there a little while, but when you walk in you need to get your bearings and establish if they have the thing you are looking for.

This. I usually tell people "Yeah I'm fine."
Unless I actually approach the front desk and say "HEY I NEED YOUR HELP", I want to be left the fuck alone while I shop.

It's greeters I don't understand,
their job is to stand at the front saying hello. What a bag of bollocks.

Oh Jesus, if you've read my thoughts on waiters and shop assistants
you can imagine for yourself my opinion on greeters.

At my gym you swipe your card and walk through the turnstile, no human intervention needed
but the monkeys in polo shirts at the front desk always say hello, it's clearly an official directive. Fuck off, I'm here to be ashamed of my gut and perve at fit women in spandex, not have a chat.
