Are you HUMAN or an Object?

Jean Paul Sartre defines bad faith as a "lie to oneself." To many this may be a hard concept to understand or a pretty easy concept. Sartre uses the "waiter in the cafe'" example to describe how someone lies to themselves. This was a perfect concept for me, because my mom and I actually went for breakfast today and the waitress was very happy and seemed like everything was great in the world. But, whenever she walked to the back of the restaurant her smile disappeared and never seemed to return until she came back to our table. We all know that everyone is not happy about going to work day to day and waiting on others 24/7, but it is a part of life. Now back to the waitress I feel as if she put on this facade just to receive a nice tip at the end of our meal. I never really looked at the situation from Sartre's point of view, but now I find myself asking "is this person truly happy to be here or this just an act?" But, like Sartre stated "the waiter is acting as a waiter" I guess you can't judge that person for something they are trained to do. I actually work as a cashier for Office Max and everyday my manager will tell us to smile, make sure you tell them to have a great day, etc. I sometimes feel as I have to put on this facade to make a sale or to please my manager. I do everything my manager asks even though I feel as though I don't want to be there on a daily basis. This just shows how our society is today, that people will act and be treated like an object more than a human being just to make a living.
