The idea for Compliment Corner came from an experience I had at a cafe in London's Fleet Street. I was travelling around the city and having a particularly tiring day. I went to the nearest cafe to buy a bottle of juice. The lady who served me was very welcoming. She asked me about my day, smiled, and wished me well. I left feeling a little bit happier. It didn't occur to me til later, but I'd been thinking about that experience and wanted to let her know what a difference she'd made. By that point, the moment had gone. I couldn't go back to the shop and I made a note to perhaps write to her to express my gratitude. Of course, I never got round to it and the lady never knew how grateful I was that she'd took the time to talk to me.
So, what I want to achieve with Compliment Corner is to help people say thank you for good service. I want to let people know when they've made a difference to someone and hope that it might make a difference to them. Because people like to feel valued and appreciated. They like to know when they've done a good job just as much as when they haven't - and far fewer compliments are given than complaints.
Compliment Corner will make a difference to people's day.
It will make them smile.
It will help us to say thank you.
It's as simple as that.
