What would you do (or say) to a scowling or frowning cashier?

When I was young, there was this sarisari store owner who would always scowl and frown at her customers. Come to think of it, she never really smiled at me. If there was another store, I would never have bought stuff at the grumpy woman’s store.
Now I have a small sarisari store and I always see to it to be nice to my customers. Sometimes my daughter has to mind the store and she would always have a scowl on her face (especially when she’s interrupted with her smartphone stuff.) It reminds me of the old woman.

One time a sales lady in a store never spoke to me or looked at me while we were checking out. Before I left, I said, "I sure hope you feel better soon." She asked what I was talking about and I said, "Since you haven't said a word to me, I feel sure you must be awfully sick." She did have the decency to apologize.
I'm glad you make a point to be friendly to your customers.

Usually, I don't go back to that store if the seller is not friendly.
But there was this store in our hometown and before the pandemic, that's the store where I used to buy ice cream. I had no other choice since that's the nearest that I pass by when going home. The seller used to frown at buyers and as if she didn't want buyers to select from the ice creams in the locked chest freezer. But I still insist that I will have to look since I want certain flavors.
I don't know what happened to that seller but a few months before the pandemic, I didn't see that lady anymore. And now their store is closed.

@sol_cee Yup I used to do that.. HIhihi And the seller who replaced her also had some attitude. When I asked her if I can take a look at the flavors, she said, the flavors are all the same like those on top... Grrrr...
But it's as if I didn't hear her.. I still looked up to the bottom of the freezer and I found my ube macapuno hihihihi

That's good that you choose to be nice to your customers by not frowning. I've encountered some like that too, and it's hard to ask a customer's question without seeing their scowl.

@sol_cee Yes, as for me, if I start arguing, they call security guard even if I am in the right. Dangerous here to argue. Not allowed you see.

It is always nice to smile to customers. Smile is contagious.

Clerks, cashiers, baggers basically everyone in the customer service industry should be ready to serve customers with a smile in their faces.

I think that those who work in a store should always be polite to their customers it is only common curtusy,
