A Smile a day....


I find it interesting how easily a simple smile can affect someone. At work today, there was this lady who came in looking really...glum. I kindly asked her what I could get for her today and she gave me her order, so I called it to Joe (the other barista on duty). After calling the drink, I proceeded to continue what I was doing behind the counter. Once her drink was done, I let the woman know that she could pick it up at the other counter, so she went and got it.
As she was making her way out the door, I smiled at her and said, "Thank you ma'am, Have a great day" ...and her attitude completely changed! She looked at me and very enthusiastically said, "Thank you very much. You too!" and walked on out. An entire attitude change from just a smile!
Its so nice to be able to have that kind of effect on someone's day, knowing that I might just have made their day a little bit better with a simple smile. Who knew? Make sure you smile at the next person you encounter...you never know what it will do for them... :]
