    If you want someone in customer service to smile, here are some things to try:

    • a compliment
    • a joke
    • genuinely inquiring about their life
    • a silly face

    Here are some things to not try:

    • telling them to smile more

      That’s why I always make this great joke about getting items for free if they don’t scan. Always gets a big smile from the cashier!
