Smile for customers

Make sure you read that last speech bubble in your sweetest, cheeriest Disney princess voice. Anyway, if you ever use the sick sorcery shown above, you’ll sound cheerier than you’ve ever been in your life, and you’ll get glowing reviews from customers, but don’t do it regularly, because it’s bad for your skin.
Transcript:
An eager, starry-eyed person wearing a call center headset radiates hearts, flowers, butterflies, and a pink-hued light. They look like something you’d see in an advertisement for something high-calorie.
Caption: “It’s important to always smile when you’re on a call with a customer. They can hear it in your voice!”
“And if they don’t hear that smile… then customers turn vicious.”
The call center agent’s face falls as they sweat and stammer, “W… well, we, uh…” and the customer drops an F-bomb, which appears as a little bomb with an F on it. The background is hatched in an atmospheric pattern that only turns up in manga when things are going sour for our poor heroes.
“Fortunately, if you don’t feel like smiling, did you know that– over the phone– a grotesque death’s head grimace sounds exactly the same as a cheery smile?”
The call center agent is lit from below in a greenish monster-movie light, and drawn in the overworked realist style of a horror manga. Their lips are drawn back from their gaping teeth, to an alarming extreme. Their nose is wrinkled like that of a cornered animal, and their eyes are blank. However, their speech bubble is pink and fluffy, full of flowers, hearts, and music notes, saying:
“Of course I’ll take note of your complaint, sir. Have a nice day!”
