On a Mission to Create Smiles

--by nycesweetp, posted Nov 6, 2011

The other day, I went to the Wendys near my house where I usually like to go. There is a girl that always works the register but never smiles and is always serious everytime I go.

That day, I was on a mission to make her smile. When I noticed it was her at the Register again: I said "Hello, How are you?" She said "May I take your order?" I said " Hello, How are you?" (and made eye contact with her). Then she looked at me and said with a Smile "I am fine and how may I help you today?" I said to her "Thank You!" Then I placed my order.

Sometimes, I throw the Representatives for a loop when I call in to pay my bills by asking them "How are you doing?" I am adamant about getting an answer. People working in customer service jobs could use a smile and to know that someone cares. When they see you trying to be polite, not only do you bring a Smile to their face, but they tend to tell you things you didn't know that normally they wouldn't tell you, and they go beyond the call of duty to help.
So please always take a moment and just ask those few words when dealing people. How are you today?
