Telling a woman to “smile more” is indeed sexist. They are people and others rarely tell men that. Also people don’t need to put on a smile to please others.
The Dasher is just suggesting it might be a good idea as a service worker and doesn’t know anything about the customer.

So if they knew the customer was a woman they shouldn’t have said this?
The dasher sees the first name of the client, if it was Veronica this is a sexist statement?
I think that type of thinking just ends with most nice people not saying anything at all.
I think the difference is why we “usually” say that to women and men.
For women the sexist reason would be forcing women to smile just to look beautiful regardless of their emotional needs.
For men it’s masking pain and being tough. Which, if you ask me can also disregard their needs and be toxic, depending on the context…
“nice” people
Nice.
