Remember back in the 1980s and 1990s you would see these people,
mostly women in commercials (and real life too) that had this cheeriness and happy demeanor which was obviously fake and made them look more like a talking manniquin rather than a human being (like early Flo from the Progressive commercials?). These seem to have disappeared sometimes in the 2000s and now I no longer see them except once in an extremly blue moon. Did they die off? Did they creep out and annoy so many people en masse that they got the picture and started to act natural? What happened to the Plastic People?
There are still a few of them around, like in this commercial.
it's close, but not what I ment;
Basicaly it's a person who when you talk to them
sound very cheery, but their voice and demeaner has an artificial/unnatural look and feel to it as if they are trying to supress any last bit of emotion that deviates from the facade that they are putting on, something like this:

Watch how the clerk is conducting herself but turn it up a little bit and you will know exactly how I am talking about. Amazingly, I have come across people in real life back in the 80s and 90s who seemed to act this way 24/7, and I found it
to be both grating, and also a bit disturbing, like they are hiding something or trying hard to bury some trauma they had in their lives. I rarely see this anymore, anywhere but back in those two decades, I saw it in spades. What was going on back then that caused so many to put on that artificial happiness facade and what changed scince then to make them stop?

I think I found a modern instance of this kind of commercial.
