retail culture has infected large parts of the American working class, where you're basically forced to be "fake" as a basic tenet of your job. you have to smile and take it even when a customer is screaming at you because that's "good customer service." You can't contradict a customer, even when they're wrong. Needless to say you can't talk back to your "superiors" either, managers, assistant managers, whatever, no matter how retarded or in the wrong you might be.
That's not even to mention shit like dealing with cops or other aspects of the "justice" system, where if cops don't feel like you're respecting them enough then they can make your life miserable, or even just straight up kill you if they want. And if they get you in court you're at the judges mercy where he can decide what rights you have or don't on a whim, and if you complain then you can be arbitrarily imprisoned indefinitely for "contempt of court."
Americans are fake for lots of reasons, some of it cultural (like "Midwestern Nice"), but a lot of it is a matter of survival at this point.
