I loved engaging in the quick 2 minute conversations as I scanned their items so they could be on their way to make some delicious meal. Somehow being able to brighten their day made mine as well. I always love good customer service and at this time of year I always appreciate the salutation of "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays." <br /><br />Great photos!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14939536611953999919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-73425920393200616032010-12-10T20:25:33.619-05:002010-12-10T20:25:33.619-05:00"I have been serviced from coast to coast and..."I have been serviced from coast to coast and it's amazing"--Deb, I fell off my chair.

Talk about service visit Japan. They all stand at the doors entrances and greet you when they open for business with a bow as well. Now I just don't want snarky. I want smiles that are real.

The Hallmark thing rocks. My Mom was an employee there for years and she still gets free cards etc. You MUST get a Sponsored by Hallmark sign for your gorgeous wrapping room! So funny. And I said it is a skirt and a top, not a dress! I am all too aware of my age! And I am not even lying-looks great as both. Hard to explain. I may need a photo follow up to prove huh?Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17041122116481448321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-54405765402782181142010-12-10T09:44:12.731-05:002010-12-10T09:44:12.731-05:00Deb and Barb...It's sooooo true! The American ...Deb and Barb...It's sooooo true! The American experience is all that...and more! While I've always shopped in the good ole U.S. of A. and loved to tell about it, it wasn't until I moved here that I appreciated how devoted retailers are to their customers. With precious few exceptions, they will knock themselves out to ensure the purchasing process is not only satisfying but ENRICHING. Now I know there will be whispers of "Yah, enriching for THEM!" but you know what, I don't care. The way I look at it, I'm gonna be buying all sorts anyway and if someone wants to make the separation of me and my assets less painful, count me in!<br />A festive illustration...Hallmark is running a Holiday promo wherein they've included a $5.00 off a $5.00 purchase coupon in any number of major mags. Because I subscribe to every magazine published, I have received about 30 of these. I've made a point of using one when I pass a Hallmark store as I'm outfitting my new craft room and am stocking on basics like wrap and trim. Every time I use one of these, scoring five bucks off maybe a six dollar total expenditure, I've been thanked profusely and invited, most sincerely, to come back soon. "We'll see you again I hope!" Fake...probably...heartwarming...absolutely! I'm mean I'm basically legally shop-lifting and they can't wait to see me come again! (An aside - I am thinking of getting a "Sponsored by Hallmark" sign for the craft room so as to give credit where credit is due!")This is just one of the many tales from the register I could tell...all sharing a common, "We want your cash and we're going to woo you to get it!" theme.<br />Oh and Deb,with that unerring fashion sense, you are free to do what you wish.... but I think that you wearing a skirt as a dress will simply lead to a future blog wherein we shall all forever have a new visual when we hear the phrase, "Off the rack!"garedicanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00869654769594149589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-16773293958277052902010-12-10T09:34:02.888-05:002010-12-10T09:34:02.888-05:00I love to shop,who do not.

I have done part of it,but when I start It again I am sure it will be just as good as when I FINISHED it. Shopping is magical expecially when you are doing it for your self.Shopping can turn my bad day into a good day,which is always a good thing. That's why when I shop I feel like I am on top of the world and no one can bring me down.Lyndsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474928538640746195noreply@blogger.com
