Compliments!
They're free and brighten everyone's day, well it certainly did mine!
It wasn't one of those "hey cutie" or "sexy lady" or "wanna go on a date" type of lines, it's was "what a lovely smile you have and I do so like a smiling customer". Now you're probably thinking, a-ha, a car salesman, one of those charity sellers on the street, or the commissioned paid dress shop types - well no, in fact it was the guy on checkouts at a Sainsbury's! That's a supermarket chain to all those non-UK folks, and I must say rather surprising and flattering!
Guess it must be down to all those fluoride tablets mother made me crunch on as a child, or perhaps all the junk food I missed out on too (mother is a fabulous baker and beats the pants off any manufactured biscuits, slices or cakes), or even the £1,200 the parents spent on orthodontal work I had as a teenager (and the subsequent two and a half years wearing the blimmin tracks!), or maybe it's just me, nice me and that fact that a smile shared is many gained, they're contagious you know... just try it, a smile will not crack your face, unless wearing one of those mud pack thingy wotsits!
Besides a smile only uses 17 muscles whilst a frown 43, so unless you on a face diet, smile!!
