Pretentious

Someone who expects everyone to be friendly. Nobody owes it to anybody to be friendly or welcoming all the time, or to like/pretend to like every stranger they ever met. In life, if you make a few true friends, you have what some people pretend to have, and what many never get. Why would you need more than that? Why would you already like/love/trust somebody you never met, a stranger. Anybody who says they like/love/trust a stranger is pretending to like/love/trust a stranger.
Only a pretentious person would say they liked/loved/trusted someone they never met before/didn't know well. Someone who wanted everyone to assume they owed it to other people to like/love/trust everyone, including them.

Pretentious

Someone that lives in a bubble of (false) boundless optimism and hope or a Disneyfied fantasy world all year except Christmas for some reason. Their instinct to defend themself and look grown up kicks in at Christmas (even if it seems negative to others), and all of a sudden they're not a kid anymore, they're a big boy/girl. Yet somehow, they're still trying to call someone else the scrooge even if they are the ones putting the most effort into sucking the life out of people and the holiday season around the holiday season.
The pretentious piece of shit sent kids to Christmas carol at the front doors of strangers not because she actually enjoyed Christmas carols herself, but just to fuck with people's heads. She was the kind of person that would use other people's kids to walk all over people for her, even during Christmas, then wondered why everybody seemed like Scrooge.

Pretentious customer

Usually a very petty person with a limited point of view and absolutely no patience. One that thinks that the express lane is only for them!
A pretentious customer is one to think it is okay to cut in front of everyone with a full cart through the speed lane because they don't want to wait in that long line over there. I'm a special snowflake.

People with a pretentious mindset usually have a pretentious personality to go with it, but pretentious is more of a mindset.
