I always try to smile and say something nice to shop assistants. I'm sure it helps too.

I am nice to all people, even the mean ones. Well, if they keep being mean, I try to avoid them

. But usually, people seem happy to see me and talk to me. As I said, it's nice being nice

When you say "clerk".do you mean bank clerk, for example? I've never yet known a bank clerk to start producing fresh vegetables, however much I might smile at them!

. No no no, I was thinking about salesmen in grocery stores

. But being nice helped with bank clerks too. I needed a loand and there were some hidden taxes, the clerk gave me some good advices

@Kasjnak I agree with your basic premise - a pleasant attitude is always a good idea, whether or not you hope to gain anything by displaying it.

@indexer yup, there's no need to expect anything from it. I do it because I want to do it, I don't need or want anything in return. It helps me having a happy life

Yes, being nice pays off. When I was new in my job three years ago there was one lady I always saw in the halls and she always gave me a big smile, it made my day go well.Mostly being nice does not really cost us anything at all.

I always say this to my friends, a smile costs you what? Nothing! A simple smile can help avoid a difficult situation sometimes, I saw many people getting into a fight for nothing. I was in similar situations, a smile and a kind word helped a lot

It happened to me in more than one ocasion. Last time was yesterday, I was ready to pay for my groceries and the lady at the counter saw that some of the vegetables I bought were not very fresh. There were many people waiting in line, but she left and changed my vegetables with better looking ones, couldn't stop her.

Many are curt in their behavior under the pretext they are busy. It pays so much to have time for others and that makes our lives so much easier and pleasanter I never miss an opportunity for face-to-face interaction - siva

This is a good way to live every day. I am polite to people I meet in public. If I am kind to them usually they are kind in return. I know that most people want to be treated with respect and politeness. The golden rule is one we need to follow: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

I have a friend who always seems to be scowling. When I told her about it, she insisted that it’s because of the shape of her mouth. Like it’s in a downward position or something. So you’re lucky you have a smiling face Thelma-san. Hehe
