I agree that it is very important to make sure to say Thank You to the poeple we interact with each day... whether it is a clerk in a store, your mailman, your family members, co-workers, neighbors, and so on.... each and everyone we meet throughout our day impacts us in some way.
I often make phone calls or leave notes on retailers suggestion box cards, to give kudos to those people who have done a particularly nice job with their service to me when I shop. I think people should be singled out for praise and appreciation when they deserve and earn it.
And sometimes, a Thank You to someone who perhaps doesn't quite deserve it gives them the impetus to do a better job for the next customer... if they realize their work is valuable and honored.
I often write notes of appreciation to the supervisor of the young woman who handles my accounts at the credit union where we have accounts. She goes out of her way to help me with lots of things, and I like to tell her boss how great the service is.
And just in case I don't say thank YOU, often enough. for reading my blog posts and leaving helpful comments and giving me great advice...
Thank You
We never know how our actions as we go through our day, really affect other people, and so I think being kind and showing appreciation, is a nice way to leave a good impression!

ReplyDeleteI try to say Thank You often. Anytime I am impressed with someone or his/her service or just appreciate them being there for me. I know how much I appreciate it when someone thanks me so I want them to feel the same way.
