- There was the man at JustTyres in Leamington who was really welcoming and did more than he needed to sort out my car tyres.
- There was the manager at Underwood Wines who offered me a free sample of his favourite wine that day, and helped me choose the perfect bottle to go with my food.
- There was the lady in Sainsbury's who, even at the end of a long shift, still found time to chat to me about how my day had gone.
In all those instances I made a mental note to write a letter of thanks when I got home. However, every time I got home I found something better to do. Now, none of these people have even heard of my Compliment Corner idea and they certainly won't feel left out that they didn't receive a letter. But wouldn't it have been great if I had done something about my positive experiences and let them know what a difference they had made to my day?
So, it's with renewed conviction that I have decided to set aside a little bit of time each week to write a message to people who've made a difference to me in their day-to-day jobs.
My tools: a pen, paper, envelope, stamp, and this blog.
Simple.
