Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings all around the world
Thank you to the kind lady I let in the line this morning at Timmies on Howard and Grand Marais for paying for my donut and bagel. I gave the cashier my $5 to donate to the broncos instead!!!! Very good morning indeed
To the incredibly kind person who found my phone in the back parking lot of Shopper's Drug Store at 500 Tec Rd East in Windsor, THANK YOU for bringing my phone inside & leaving it with the Post Office. I drove back looking for it within the hour, knowing the last I saw it was in Shoppers but not aware that it fell out of the pocket of my coat while getting into my car. I was very surprised someone had turned it in knowing that it was found in the parking lot! You are awesome!!! Thank you so much!!! ❤
My boyfriend and I went to Spago's for lunch. When it came time for the bill, the waiter, David, told us, You're free to go. Him and I were confused, looked at each other, and then asked if it could be on one bill. David says, There is no bill, I lost it! We were lost for words and so grateful and so blessed!! We love that there is still kindness in people's hearts. Thank you for paying for the lunch!!
I know that a lot of people have stories of bad customer service, especially when it comes to big box stores, but I wanted to share how wonderful Lowes in Windsor was this past weekend.
We needed a new dishwasher, so earlier in the week, we went to Lowes to find one. We pushed the help button in the appliance section and waited for what seemed like forever for someone to come help. Jeremiah came to answer our call and help us. He made our shopping experience extremely enjoyable. He was very knowledgeable and had us laughing like we we had known him for years. If you ever want to know anything about anything, seek out Jeremiah, he's a fountain of useless knowledge!! LOL
When it came time to pick up our purchase, I went to the store and unfortunately, there was a hiccup. They couldn't find our dishwasher (when it came off the truck, it wasn't put where it should have been). I waited for a long time and had to leave - needless to say, I was not happy. That's where Chris (who I think is the Manager of the Appliance section) came into the picture. I wasn't satisfied with having to go back to the store again and made that clear. Chris was so accommodating and friendly, I didn't even have a chance to spew out the angry dialogue I had prepared to give him. Chris went above and beyond and personally made sure our dishwasher was delivered to our door within hours. He too made us feel like we truly mattered. I can't thank these two gentlemen enough for their exceptional customer service!
If you happen to know either of these two men, please tell them they are appreciated.
Thank you Jeremiah and Chris, you will definitely be seeing us again for future purchases.
Today I was walking home from the food bank, after a day of meetings and appointments with my disability case worker, carrying the very heavy box of food plus a shopping bag that the Goodfellows gave me. I don't live far, but the weight of the box over took me and I set it down. When I went to start walking again, the box split right open! I am so grateful to the sweet family who piled me and my heavy food and broken box into their car and gave me a ride home.
I received a lot of generosity and kindness from a lot of Windsorites today and I am forever grateful.
I am a frequent casino guest and I know you deserve to be treated better!!! Ever since Caesars took over that casino, employees have been shafted in so many ways, so many times too. When Artisan closed so many people got displaced or lost their jobs. Do you Caesars realize how many employees you screwed over??? Yes, screwed over!!! But why would you care, they are the seasoned, professional, friendly and caring staff that many of us enjoy when we go to the casino. I've been going for years and dare say, without them well...you'd definitely be in a bind!! Valet is unbelievable at times, not their fault they don't have enough people out there for the job!! The Buffet well that's another story, so short staffed most of the time, the staff that are there are way overrun!!! Sections get closed although there are line ups, why, no staff!!! Yet go figure Caesars doesn't get it, if you have to wait in line for an hour or 2+...you are not playing and paying!!! There is no fare pay structure, job security is definitely not there at all, as for benefits well they could most certainly improve as well. People probably think all Caesars Windsor employees make really good money, guess again!!! I think those who have been there for years should get retro raises!!! Imagine working for a company for 20 years and making $16/ $17 an hour, yet the minimum wage is now $14? Hardly seems fair!!!! Yes I realize a career change could be possible but, everyone knows you get comfortable, you accept little because you are afraid to jump into the unknown, lifers!! However, when job security is a factor when the company decides to dismantle people, you stress about uncertainty!! We all go for the entertainment however, we do appreciate the wonderful employees!!!! Caesars employees you will be missed during this strike but.
GO FOR WHAT'S DESERVED, Including RESPECT!!!!!
I would like to thank Ron at RK automotive for the excellent service I received. I needed a battery changed back in October, and it recently failed. When I brought it back for servicing, he found my vehicle was the issue and recommended I bring it to my dealership as it was still under warranty. Ron warned me that the dealership would probably blame the battery for the issue. He said he would take the battery back for a full refund if that was the case, even though he wasn't neglegent. Ron refunded me at full cost. I will continue to use his services in the future! If you need any work done, please go to RK automotive! He is trustful and cares about his customers and quality of work.
