The Sunday Five - Service


We talk about a service economy, and there have to be some superstars of service out there. Service is more than doing your job, it is doing what is necessary to help others enjoy the experience.  What is the sign about?  The Bike Shop is tiny inside, impossible to stay 6 feet away from others.  Honk the horn, and they will come outside, and help you.

My Answers: 

1: What coffee shop has the best service near you? Gregory's coffee near my office on Connecticut Ave in DC. Much better service than your know who.  

2: Is there a restaurant that remembers you, remembers the way you like things? The deli on the lower lobby of my office, they were closed for 15 months, and reopened with just two staff. Wonderfully Jose came back, he is the best.  

3: What online retailer has the best customer service in your area? Not the one I use the most (Uncle Jeff's)  - - - Target.  The order are always prompt, accurate, the delivery information is more accurate. 

4: When was the last time you spoke with a teller at the bank?  At least two years ago, I moved a chunk of money into my account to buy a garage space, and didn't want to deposit a rather large check in the ATM.  Then the seller decided not sell the garage space. 

5: What local retailer has the best customer service? An independent card and paper goods shop Penny Post on King Street in Alexandria.
