You could have talked to her...I'm not trying to burst your bubble or anything, but after working in retail/customer service for quite some time, it's our job to ask people if we can help them sometimes more than once (especially if the manager is around) and it's part of the job to be friendly and smile. So if you're in a similar situation again, instead of just looking at her and smiling (and I really hope you actually said at least "no" because if you just looked at her an smiled she might have thought you were a little off), tell her that, yes, you do need help. Have her help you on things you might even know, that way it's an ice breaker somewhat and you can ask her how she likes working there etc.
