Grrrr hermas....?

From my experience, there is a stigma in urban centers to not smile. In big cities, people tend to look miserable, even if they aren't. I think it's unfortunate, because I too think somebody is whacked if they are always smiling. I wouldn't think so highly of yourself that he is trying to come on to you. I'm not saying to go out of your way to smile, but sometimes it's amazing how smiling can actually make you happier. I also think that refering to cashiers as "turks" is kind of wierd. Why does his nationality matter? Maybe you COULD use some more "niceness" in your life... just a thought.
