Help with a smile

When I occasionally visit Dunkin' Donuts in an afternoon I see people "dressed for success" and reading want ads or checking resumes online. One woman, a stranger, began talking to me. She couldn't say these things at home - single mom - and needed to un-burden. She has found me there several times now. If you smile, encouragingly, people will talk to you, and know it will go no further. It costs me nothing, and I think they need it.
