During parents weekend, me and my family went to a local tavern to eat lunch. It was immediatly apparent that our waitress was in a horrible mood and she did not want to be working. As a result of primative emtoinal contagion, by the end of the meal, and seeing her discomfort and annoyance on her face, everyone at the table had started to feel and show the negative feeling displayed by the waitress. It was very confusing why the waitress showed so much negative emotion. The psychological climate of the restaurant appeared friendly and energized. However, as we have observed this semester, a workplaces business is correlated with negative emotion, and as it was parents weekend the establishment was very busy. I will never know what exactly was bothering this girl but she was quite depressing!
