Customer Service...?

Post by **LadyTevar** » 2003-07-31 04:37pm

This week, I've been rotated to Receptionist duties, which means I answer phones all day long. Yesterday, I get a call from a very nice older gentleman who had several guestions about Genealogy (iirc). I answered all of them, told him how to get to our office to pick up the certificates, and he commented that he'd be able to stop by KrispyKreme along the way.
Jokingly, I asked him to bring me a donut. We joked about donuts for a short while, and then said goodbye. I didn't give it another thought, just one more of the 200+ calls that day.

This morning I was called to the front office. He'd brought the donuts.

A full dozen of mixed donuts, because he didn't know what kind I liked, just because I was so nice and helpful on the phone.

Now *that's* customer service...

One time when I was working at Circuit City I was loading a car with one of my co-workers. We were very careful and helped him with a big item. My friend asked me where we where going to take our lunch break and I said "taco bell cause Im broke". The customer tipped us 10 bucks each and said get something better to eat!

Run! Before SirNitram sees you saying that!

Besides, the gentleman was old enough to be my dad!

I leave candy for the guests, and now joke with them, because it's my method of not getting stressed out about how messed up, obsolte and prone to breakage of our stuff is.

Older people tend to have a lot of extra time.

Spammers. *shakes head*

Kudos to both the gentleman, Tevar. A pity that such graciousness isn't common anymore.

The wife of the ex-governor of the state of Georgia once tried to tip me; I refused, because I don't take tips at my job (nothing is I do really merits a tip, I do what I get paid for).

That's a really touching story, Tevar! Thank you for sharing it with us.
