One November my friend Liz went to the grocery store to pick up a turkey for Thanksgiving. As she approached the checkout, she noticed the cashier’s nametag, smiled and said, “Hi Jenny – Happy Thanksgiving!”
Jenny smiled back at Liz and swiped her turkey. When she gave her the total, Liz couldn't help but notice an unusually low price.
“I thought the price was more than that...is this turkey on sale or something?” Liz asked.
“No, it's not on sale,” Jenny replied, “But I always give 30% discounts to customers who smile at me!”
LET ME ASK YA THIS...
What's the best smile-related story you've experienced?

As I was approaching my local bank, walking toward the door, a man came out moving quickly to his car, he turned and as he saw me, I smiled brightly and warmly. This man stopped and turned around and went all the way back to open the door for me! I smiled again and said, "how kind of you, thank you!" He said, "NO NO, THANK you! for the smile". A smile is the best freebie and ice breaker there is! Scott, I REALLY like the way you think outside the box..em..wait..that should be 'nametag'??? lol Smiles to all!
