When
I lived in Waco, Texas, I frequented a certain restaurant. One morning at breakfast the manager came
over, we chatted and he gave me a complimentary meal with these words, “I notice you come in here a lot and wanted
you to know that we appreciate your support.”
Guess
where I want to breakfast the next weekend?
My
friend Rico in Edmonds comes by our table every time we dine in his place and
we have a pleasant exchange. He
appreciates our business.
And
so do Brook and Randy at their restaurant.
We
all love recognition and appreciation.
I especially
love the appreciation from my wife when I help her. At the moment she is recovering from rotator
cuff surgery and is unable to do much for herself. I am her hands, feet, cook, laundress, water
fetcher and pill dispenser.
Just
the other day she was singing my praises (to me) of how much she appreciated my
help.
Guess
what. I did a bit more. I went an extra step or three.
And
so will your employees, your kids, your spouse and your customers.
Want
to keep them coming back?
Appreciate
them!
