Almost Made Her Smile!


--by RicKaren, posted Jun 5, 2014
We stop each trip at a gas station/food place where the main counter person never, never smiles and seems to be doing people a favor, taking their money.

Today I was determined to make her smile. I engaged her in conversation - the first I'd seen her even try to be involved but sadly, did not make her smile - almost, though!

It was worth the effort and I felt great trying. Maybe next time I'll try a smile card some way.

I would thank her, or comment on how hard she was working, ask her how her day was going... It took several tries but one day I was blessed with her smile. Seems like now we are "friends" and she smiles more often.
