'Happy' calls 5 months ago

Many products now have a toll-free phone number where consumers can call to complain or comment. It occured to me recently that I only call when I am complaining, though this does not happen often.

So….. I decided to call when I discover something that is extra good or delicious or interesting. It takes the person in the call center by surprise to receive good feedback on their product instead of the usual negativity, and they respond quite happily. I know that their job can be fairly stressful.

This is a fun project. ;-D

Making a stranger feel good is fun!

I like chatting up grocery store cashiers-bag my own stuff, thank them – Good luck!

Excellent!

Having been in the “service” myself, I can truly appreciate these types of calls. They are so much the rarity, unfortunately. Perhaps that’s why I haven’t phoned in a complaint for years now.

In general, I find myself being more patient with people providing me service. And in restaurants, those waiters/waitresses that go out of their way to be nice or wait on me with a little extra service, get a really good tip from me (I start at 25% and if they are outstanding, they get better).
