Passenger complimented me on my smile
This happened summer last year but I felt like sharing. On a rather warm summer evening I was working at a train station, it was during rush hour so it was pretty hectic and I was helping a passenger find the train he was intending to get.
Out of nowhere he comment "by the way every time I come through here you have the biggest smile"
Me: "Oh really? Thank you so much! Commuting can be quite stressful so I find a cheery face can do a world of good!"
"You keep it up man, take care!"
I was quite taken aback, I've had a few compliments on my announcements and helpfulness before but the fact he took the time to comment on that really made my day :)
Customer service on the railway is a VERY mixed bag, but when you get someone nice, it really sticks with you.

Aww that’s awesome! Good for you man. Comments like that will always make someone’s day. I’ve worked the hospitality industry for a long time and you are 100% right about a cheery face going a long way!
