Shopping Trip Experiment

My daughter and I did an experiment of niceness. We went to the food store and it was packed. We expected to be hit by shopping carts and other rude behavior. To keep our attitudes positive, we decided to be extremely nice and ignore any bad behavior we experienced. Everywhere we went, aisle to aisle, we were friendly and courteous, smiling, and letting others go ahead of us. The people around us responded by letting us pass first instead and smiling back. It really diffused a lot of the me, me behavior we expected. I guess like attracts like and the trip wasn't so bad after all.
