That might be one reaction, but I think it’s interesting how his positivity rubbed off on people. Europeans wouldn’t be so kind imo, as you have perfectly displayed. There’s at least two possibilities. Either: 1) Zach just loves the attention. or 2) He is genuinely in love with his life, his job, and his passengers. I don’t know the answer, but I’d be willing to bet that he left the vast majority thinking something or other.

I think I appreciate the intention. It's just the fact of being a captive audience which makes it potentially stressful rather than soothing. In other environments it might be more beneficial. I do notice for example when buying groceries that some of the assistants can be overflowing with positivity, and I appreciate that.

The second is risky and demands constant vigilance and apprehension: seek and learn to recognize who and what, in the midst of inferno, are not inferno, then make them endure, give them space.” -Italo Calvino OTOH I might've been really annoyed to have someone continually be loudly chipper as I tried to read/watch tv/sleep./..
