Non-verbal communication à la syrienne

I just walked out of a small corner shop with a broad smile on my face. Not because I had bought a pack of cigarettes, but rather because of this typical Syrian non-verbal communication.

When I walked into the shop, I asked if they had yellow Gauloises. The shop agent did not even look at me but just clicked his tongue. Everything said & nothing to add. I bought a different brand then.
