Taking the Time to
by Dianne
I was in a Revy store on the
McLeod Trail searching for a protective piece I needed to replace on a halogen
lamp. A salesperson set out to help me locate it but after some ten minutes I
realized they didn't actually carry what I needed. The salesclerk was not
daunted in her task. She began searching through parts from previously
defective lamps to give me what I needed. I was so pleased by her attitude and
helpfulness. So many others would have just said, "No we don't carry
that!"
On another occasion I was in Wal-mart
in Shawnessy in
A young girl in housewares got on
the phone to two other Wal-mart stores in the search
for my coffee mugs. She kept a professional attitude when one of the stores
left her on hold twice for a very long time only to have someone finally answer
that they couldn't understand her initial request. The sales clerk was
wonderful and during this time I watched her juggle her attention to help two
other customers. I walked away from that store grateful to a most fabulous lady
for all her efforts on my behalf. Customer service is alive and well in this
city.

TAKE THE SFPNN KINDNESS CHALLENGE!
Living through the words of Gandhi, we must be the change we want to see in the world. We must also acknowledge those who are in the act of creating those changes. Therefore, we have two challenges for you.
Kindness Challenge # 1: Do something kind today and every day. It doesn’t have to be of earth-shattering proportions to make a positive difference. Simply saying “Thank You” or letting someone know they’re appreciated can have a tremendous impact. Find little ways to be kind and to make our world a kinder place. And feel free to tell us about your kind act!
E-mail: “KINDNESS”
Kindness Challenge # 2: Share something kind someone has done for you! People are kind to us in a myriad of ways on a daily basis. But we often overlook their kindness. Become aware of acts of kindness and acknowledge the person performing them. Then share their kind gesture with SFPNN.
