Service with a smile

So often I hear folks dissing young people regarding their work ethic. I’ve found the opposite to be true. We’ve hired so many great ‘kids’ through the years. With very few exceptions, I found them eager to learn and willing to work hard. In fact, we prefer to hire young people and train them from the start. I also see many great, hard-working young people in my travels and recently came across some shining examples. I found a place that makes awesome cinnamon buns here in Chilliwack. The establishment is ‘Local Harvest’, a farmer’s market, cafe and bakery. The place is often bustling and the staff are always hustling, striving to keep up with the traffic. The first few times I went into the store to buy my favoured treat, a single cinnamon bun, they would graciously serve me with a smile. Last week they took service up to a whole new level. I parked my Jeep out in the parking lot and as I walked in the front doors of the market the young lady behind the bakery counter held out a paper bag with my still warm cinnamon bun inside. She had recognized my vehicle and knew what I was after - without my even asking. That’s service! Thanks!
