This is 1000% about loss prevention, not “making stores more hospitable.”
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.

Watching and hearing kids play music often brings me to tears. Today reading about it did the same.
Wright Middle School’s mariachi ensemble plays shows all over Nashville. On Thursday, they’ll open for Jason Isbell at the Ryman. Along the way, they’ve learned to play with pride from Maikel Rodriguez, who wants them to embrace their talent.
