Some are nice & some aren't. Some have bad days & vent as does everyone anywhere. Often those beaming smiles you see are genuine & sometimes not - it IS a tourist based economy & being pleasant to tourists is how many earn their livings.
It can be hilarious, if you understand some Bahasa Bali & Bahasa Indonesia, to hear what they are saying to each other about the bules behind their delightful smiles.
