I've been on the receiving end of both numerous times and I'm not sure which I prefer if I'm honest.

- Door greeting. I prefer a fake smile. I'm not going to interact with you.

- I have a problem. I'm agnostic as long as you can help me.

Having just thought about it - there's different levels of fake and the shallower the interaction the less I care about your fake smile. But if we're at odds over an issue then I definitely don't want you to smile. That's comes across as a sociopath to me.

Interesting discoveries I just learned about myself.
