In my customer service classes, I always mentioned that the way to get good service is to be a good customer -- and obviously it is true in the other direction as well!<BR/><BR/>Nice socks!lv2knithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17598771177909077620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29550002.post-5226256029254812962007-03-05T16:11:00.000-05:002007-03-05T16:11:00.000-05:00omyhell, just kill me now - that laceweight is gor...omyhell, just kill me now - that laceweight is gorgeous!Roggeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17549838068624400016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29550002.post-40538089490408091102007-03-05T13:32:00.000-05:002007-03-05T13:32:00.000-05:00Ok, so I just bought that yarn.

I know they will pass the comment on to the cashier. I figure she has it worse then me, I get to go home and knit, and she is stuck working. <BR/>The yarn is gorgeous.

My cousin, who owns a Shell station tells her employees to remember that these people may be having the worst day of their lives, ie: their mother just died, they were just diagnosed with cancer, etc. and that their smile and graciousness may just be the thing they need. After she started telling them this, they had a customer come in and apologize for the grumpy manner he had had for the last few weeks. It turned out his child had just been diagnosed with leukemia and he didn't know how to deal with it, and that they were the only people who treated him kindly despite his gruff demeanor. I think a lot of us have forgotten small kindness and how important it really is. I found with co-workers later on that a grumpy exterior almost always hid a hurt interior. Blessings to you and everyone else. Thanks for the smile.:-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29550002.post-75733593776232673492007-03-02T02:21:00.000-05:002007-03-02T02:21:00.000-05:00That yarn is gorgeous!One of the things I like abo...That yarn is gorgeous!<BR/><BR/>One of the things I like about you is your attitude. (Another is your sense of humor. Compassion is in there, too.)<BR/><BR/>I had a tough day yesterday and then I saw the Skater and he made me so happy that the yucky stuff was easier to face. He's an old guy (60's?) who roller dances along our road nearly every day, and his smile and joy are a true blessing. And boy can he dance! He skates Really Fast, moving like a teenager, doing these beautiful routines, smiling the whole time. What a gift!beadlizardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345991066699824794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29550002.post-64812578007202378692007-03-02T01:14:00.000-05:002007-03-02T01:14:00.000-05:00Thanks for the pick-me-up; power of positive think...Thanks for the pick-me-up; power of positive thinking and all that...CChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10786833246368049469noreply@blogger.com
