Not What We Mean By Putting A Smile On Your Face

(I am working as a cashier on a busy Wednesday. We are not usually crowded during the week, so we only have three cashiers working at the time. I then get a lady who has waited in the other two lines, then came to my register.)

Me: “Hello, miss, find everything okay?”

Angry Customer: “No, and I’ve been waiting forever. You should have more people working!”

Me: “I’m sorry about that.”

(I don’t say anything the rest of the time, because I feel awkward.)

Me: “Here’s your receipt; have a nice day.”

Angry Customer: “You know, it’s helpful if you smile!”

Me: *awkwardly smiles*

Angry Customer: “That’s not a smile; that’s a smirk!”

Me: *speechless*
