Crooked line can straighten your life

Yesterday when I went shopping, things were just the opposite of what I had expected.
The lemons I had to buy ran out of stock in the store, the tomatoes I needed were horrible and uneaten, the bag of milk I put in the basket began to drip and tarnish all the other products there ...
So as you hear everything, I was destroyed there, and I wanted to leave everything and give up buying there ...
But one of the workers who apparently noticed that I was upset, approached me and offered help and replaced all the products in the basket for new ones (because everything got dirty from the spilled milk), brought lemons and new tomatoes from the warehouse that I thought was missing ...
I thanked him very much and went to pay at the checkout, I wanted to give that employee a tip but he refused firmly ...
What impressed me the most was that a "crooked line" = a smile can "straighten" your life.
Yes the smile of the employee who offered help and when he refused to get a tip changed my mood I.
Has it ever happened to you that a smile of something else has changed your mood for the better?

I suppose that's your favorite store, so you don't want to go to other stores?
Yes, it happened a lot to me. I am a transparent person that's why. So, they know that I am upset when I am not smiling anymore since I always smile especially when I am at the mall. I am gracious with the sales clerks actually. Just like you, I would have that face and voice out what I don't find good in their store.
So far, the sales ladies are always helpful.

Today someone knocked my car in the driveway and apparently ran away after doing so ... It definitely ruined my day.
Then I went nervous (because he'd screwed up my car) to take my son from kindergarten,But over there I got so many smiles from the kids that it calmed me and I almost forgot about it (until I got back to the car and saw it again...LOL).

A simple effort by a stranger can lift our spirits.
