Crooked line can straighten your life

Yesterday when I went shopping, things were just the opposite of what I had expected. The lemons I had to buy ran out of stock in the store, the tomatoes I needed were horrible and uneaten, the bag of milk I put in the basket began to drip and tarnish all the other products there ... So as you hear everything, I was destroyed there, and I wanted to leave everything and give up buying there ... But one of the workers who apparently noticed that I was upset, approached me and offered help and replaced all the products in the basket for new ones (because everything got dirty from the spilled milk), brought lemons and new tomatoes from the warehouse that I thought was missing ... I thanked him very much and went to pay at the checkout, I wanted to give that employee a tip but he refused firmly ... What impressed me the most was that a "crooked line" = a smile can "straighten" your life. Yes the smile of the employee who offered help and when he refused to get a tip changed my mood I. Has it ever happened to you that a smile of something else has changed your mood for the better?

If only there was such type of employees everywhere how good would it have been. Unfortunately I know any who had bad customer experiences. You were lucky that such a nice person came to your help. I loved reading this.

I suppose that's your favorite store, so you don't want to go to other stores? Yes, it happened a lot to me. I am a transparent person that's why. So, they know that I am upset when I am not smiling anymore since I always smile especially when I am at the mall. I am gracious with the sales clerks actually. Just like you, I would have that face and voice out what I don't find good in their store. So far, the sales ladies are always helpful.

@gilggg Aww, that was a nasty thing to do to your car, but it can be repaired. Smiles are contagious. That's for sure. So sorry about your car.

@DianneN It's all right, I'll fix the car, fortunately the cost of repair is not as high as I thought, and they'll do it the same. The main thing is that I can use it soon...

Today someone knocked my car in the driveway and apparently ran away after doing so ... It definitely ruined my day. Then I went nervous (because he'd screwed up my car) to take my son from kindergarten,But over there I got so many smiles from the kids that it calmed me and I almost forgot about it (until I got back to the car and saw it again...LOL).

Unfortunately, this does not always happen to me, because there are people who are preoccupied with themselves and their problems and will not always get a smile from them ...

@MALUSE Of course you right it can.... But the main thing is that I wanted to convey a message here that we should not spare smiles to people we encounter in our lives
