I've been coming in contact with a lot of REALLY nice people lately! Truly, I have been having some great customer service for the past few weeks! These friendly workers need to be saluted! Generally, negative experiences tend to stick out in customers' minds, and the people who're doing a great job tend to get overlooked. I think the good ones are the ones that should be highlighted! Everybody deserves recognition!
Here goes:
I went to Golden Corral tonight. Don't ask me why! Something about the endless possibilities excites me! I don't know. I really just wanted some of those delicious rolls with honey butter! So after our VERY filling meal, my friend and I reached for our wallets to leave a tip. Well, we only had a $20 bill, so I went up to the cash register to see if they could break it.
That is when I met a very nice man! I am assuming that he was the manager, because he was wearing a blue dress shirt and not a burgundy (I think) one like all the other employees. Anyway, he was so jolly and happy to help me! Oh- and he had jokes! Of course, I didn't really get all the jokes, but he was so giddy that I just went along with them. Here is a rundown of our interaction:
Me: Hi! Can you break a twenty?
Him: Like in half?
Me: Um, maybe like four five dollar bills?
Him: [starts laughing hysterically] Ah hahaha! I got you!
Me: Oh, haha! I was confused.
Him: Here you go. [gives me 4 $5]
Me: Thank you!
Him: And I gave you an extra one! HAHAHAHAHA!
Me: Oh! [looks down and only has 4, then get that he was joking again] Haha!
Him: Have a great night!!!
Me: You too! Thanks!
Then when we were leaving, we saw the guy again. "Did you find that extra five?!?!" He said. Then he burst out into another laughing fit.
It just made me really happy. He was in such a good mood, even though he was at work and dealing with a hundred hungry Golden Corral patrons and their screaming children. He put such a smile on my face. Oh, I just love a positive attitude! So if you go to the Golden Corral on Capital Blvd, look for the upbeat manager guy. I will have to try and start catching people's names! WE SALUTE YOU!
that man sounds insane. are you sure he worked there.
