To test this, clerks at eight stores in a large Canadian clothing chain were given special instructions at the start of a week, and the number of sales over the week were recorded.

Clerks at four other stores were simply instructed to be especially courteous. Sales (in thousands of dollars) for the four stores in the smile condition were 36, 40, 36, and 44; sales for the four stores in the control condition were 40, 31, 27, and 30.
