The art of customer service is gone

I have noticed recently that the art of customer service is extinct ! From retail stores to coffee shops and everything in between. People are so caught up on themselves and their electronic devices that they forget that they are being paid to provide a service to us the consumer.

I was recently in a retail store at the mall and the woman servicing me actually walked away from me to answer the phone without saying excuse me and never returned to the counter to hand me my purchase and say thank you.  I was appalled, I should have turned right around and returned my purchase of over $100, the good thing is there is a survey at the bottom of the receipt where I will get to tell the corporate office how I was treated. I think she was angry of the fact that I did not want to apply for the store credit card...sorry I just do not want it. She actually rolled her eyes at me when I said no thank you !!! This was not a teen but an older woman rolling her eyes.

People that work with the public need to start realizing that part of their job is leaving us, the consumer happy. Whatever happened to the customer is always right ? I am not a rude or mean person by all means and I feel like I am the one working in order to get a smile...geesh.

I will not step of my milk crate ! Have a good day and smile :-)

I am an Influenster !

When I first started this blog I inboxed a friend of mine about her blog, where did she start, any recommendations etc. Well she told me about Influenster which is similar to bzzagent and smiley360. I signed up and recently got chosen to review a product !!

I was sent 2 big size bottles of Palmolive Soft Touch dish soap, one for me and one for a friend along with coupons all for free. I was sent Aloe and the Vitamin E one. I chose Aloe for myself and gave the other to my mother. As for the coupons I handed them out to family,friends and a stranger :-) I was like the coupon fairy !

The dish soap is great, it kept my hands from drying out and actually improved the softness of them. I do lots of dishes and bottles thanks to my little one. I also did dishes at my mother's so I used the Vitamin E one as well. I freaking love the scent of that one, it reminded me of fresh clean laundry. I have already purchased some for the near future.

You should check out influenster.com who knows what "voxbox" you will be chosen for !

Bucket List

I have always thought I didn't really have a ”bucket list ” but it dawned on me the other day, I DO in fact have one !

Almost everyone wants to travel at some point in their lives, I am one of them.  Therefore one of my bucket list items is travel to all of the states in the U.S, while I Hawaii I want to swim with the sea turtles, that would be the second item on my list ! Another must travel destination is England and last but not least Italy.

Another thing I would like to do is run in a Disney marathon. This will take a lot of hard work since I am not a runner nor am I in shape.. I better fet on it.

This is simple but I want to knit a blanket. Sounds simple right ?!

My list may not be long but these are things I would like to accomplish. What's on your bucket list ?

How quickly time goes

My baby celebrated her First birthday this past Saturday on June 1st. I still cannot believe it has already been a year since she has been on this earth. She amazes me day after day. I wish I could keep her this small forever.

I sat down and reflected about this past year, she has learned so much, from sitting up on her own to feeding herself. Instead scrambling to figure out what is wrong when she cries, I can pin point what the issue is by the way she is crying or by her pointing to what she wants. Sleep has not really been an issue with us but it has gotten that much better. And well the clothing has gotten cuter as well.

As another year passes she will be amazing me even more. I still have walking and more talking in store. And for me to amaze her with books and knowledge and new experiences. I love my kids from the bottom of my heart and look forward to yet another year !
