Here's a situation that's been bothering me for a while. A week or so ago, a guest told Felix, one of my managers that I wasn't smiling. Honestly though what business is it of theirs that I didn't smile?? I really don't know many people who are happy to clean other people's trash and messes for a living, can you? Then I recieved an interesting question today from one of my other manager's, Susan. "Why don't you ever smile, don't you ever get excited about anything?" she asked, and I wanted to respond with a "Because I don't see the fun in serving people who treat me like crap, or being screwed over by a multi-million dollar company times 10" but alas, I really responded with an "I don't know".
But ever since that happened, I've been thinking about it.. I do smile, anyone who hangs out with me knows I do. It's just that no one bothers to notice when I do. For me, smiling is a window to have someone feels happiness nand I will admit that I'm not happy 100% of the time but I'm not going to go out of my way to to show someone how I don't feel. If I'm not happy, I won't smile. Simple as that.
