"She had long wavy hair and pretty blue eyes...."
"She had long wavy hair and pretty blue eyes...." I started my day, yesterday, with a very kind message from one of my readers. Not going to lie, it made me smile and totally made my day! I know that my writing styles aren't going to be for everyone, but for the people that do like what I have to say, it always touches me a little when they reach out to tell me their thoughts. I often find it is the posts that I debate over the most that end up being the posts that are most memorable to others. And, like everyone else, it feels good to receive those unsolicited comments and compliments. It kind of gives me a glimpse into their life, as well.... I was part way through my day when our Regional VP's Administrative Assistant emailed me to get the identity of our of our employees. This happens often.... A customer is so impressed by their level of service that they reach out to corporate to relay their experience. While a customer always remembers the level of service they received, they don't always remember the name of the employee that impressed them. I was reading through the customers written comment and I was recognizing what was being stated. This customer had gone to our company's Faceplace page and posted this very, very kind compliment about our store and our employee with the long wavy hair and pretty blue eyes. I was that employee. She and her granddaughters had been in search of a certain product and when I talked to them they had already given up hope finding it. After we had parted, I decided to take the next step and search out the clearance section to see if maybe we had it tucked away somewhere in that clearance wasteland.... And we did! I ended up hunting her down in the store and making her granddaughter's day that day! Saving her money to boot as the item was now on clearance.... I was pretty smiley when I emailed her back to let her know it was me. It's not all that often an Office Girl gets the opportunity to receive a customer compliment. It was a feel good day yesterday.... One of those days where you feel like you kind of do make a difference in the world around you. It's days like yesterday that make up for all those terrible days when you feel invisible, and overwhelmed, and wonder why, exactly, you keep on going. |

It’s very awesome that you got some great feedback. If you’re like me, you do the extra stuff for a customer just because you’d want to be treated in the same fashion. I’ve never been good at accepting compliments but it does help make an otherwise tedious or trying day dissipate like a puff of smoke. Being a good person is sometimes seen as a detriment in society. But I think if we had more people like you, we would have a better world.

If we're content with just being kind to others, it comes natural to be kind. It's always a good feeling, though, to have someone appreciate you for your kindness.

Well done, enjoy the wins when you get them!

Those unexpected compliments are the best! I try to dish them out where I can.

I know just how she made you feel. One of our steady customers was unhappy that a particular shade of lipstick was no longer available. I took her name and number. At home since we were not allowed access to internet in the store I went on a hunt for her color and brand. I reached out to the cosmetic company to see how any could be obtained. I got plenty of info and called the woman back the next time I was at work and told her how to obtain her lip color and the price and that the company was holding the last 6 tubes waiting to hear from her. About a week later she cam in the store and handed me a bag containing a very decorative cookie tin. In it were over 2 dozen balls of homemade chocolate chip cookie dough" freeze these my dear and use them at night when you get home- they cook in the microwave"
