The summary for the year 2012 is based on answers to more than 2 million questions covering Smile, Greeting and Add-on sales in 57 countries. 78% of the customers received a smile, 84% of the customers were greeted while only 56% received an add-on sales suggestion. However, most figures are higher than in many years. Spain is the best country on both smiling and add-on sales and top 4 on greeting.

Nearly 2000 mystery shoppers from 24 European countries joined queues in a range of retail types – among others banks, post offices, pharmacies, grocery stores, travel ticket offices and fast food outlets – and reported on the time taken to reach the front of the queue and the response of the staff members to the queuing customer.
