Look happy for the smile police
Rail staff face ‘smile police’
A Japanese rail firm has introduced a system to check that staff are smiling enough at all times.
Computerised scanners around 15 Tokyo stations will measure the smile’s curvature to ensure it is broad enough.
Those failing to measure up – literally – will be advised to look less serious and more cheerful.
The system will also be introduced at a hospital in Osaka to check staff friendliness and at a truck stop to measure the tiredness of drivers. </em>
Good thing they don’t install one of these at my job. Turn that frown upside down my ass…
