Barista Kindness

On Friday (Jan 22) I was visiting the Starbucks at Devonshire mall. Friday's at the mall are always crazy and most of the staff here are kind and always smiling and get orders done with little or no problem. On this day I was in line and I noticed the girl at the register was having some trouble paying for her drink - looked like her card kept getting declined. Now I know this is a business and you have to pay for all items you want to receive, what was discouraging though was that the barista at the till was not helping calm this poor girl who was obviously panicking about the situation. She told the girl to call her bank and figure out her finances and come back to pay for what she wanted. I was shocked. After I got what I needed I was sitting at a table off to the side of their handoff area and saw the girl on the phone with, I'm assuming, her bank. The barista making drinks called the girl over and gave her the drink she wanted on the house after seeing how distressed she was! The girl explained that she was so embarrassed and this barista simply smiled and told her to not let this ruin her weekend and to have a better day. It was amazing to see the small act of kindness. Through sitting in the store for longer I came to discover that this barista isn't even from this store but another location in the city! How amazing that someone so kind is likely to randomly show up around Windsor at random Starbucks locations and bring a little light to someone's day wherever she may go. I never got this kind baristas name (I only know she was working there for the day and is originally from another location in Windsor) but I hope she knows how her small act of kindness inspired and restored my faith in humanity. I hope you see this, kind barista, because your generosity does not go unnoticed and you deserve to know that. Keep smiling.

Cramdon's Tap and Eatery

Last night (Friday Jan 22, 2016) my family and I were celebrating my fathers birthday at Cramdon's. My son, being the picky eater that he is, will only eat pizza with green olives. Cramdon's did not have any in stock. I believe his name is Don (the owner), left the restaurant and went to the nearby bulk food store just to accommodate my son's want of green olives. I just wanted to thank the staff at Cramdon's for going over and beyond to make this night as enjoyable as possible.


Thank you,

Your respect is appreciated more then you know

I would just like to thank all of the cars that pulled to the side while our funeral procession was driving by. There were so many cars that had actually cut in our funeral procession and we were completely shocked at the level of disrespect we were witnessing. Again, to the cars that pulled over and showed our family respect, we thank you! You showed us that there are still amazing people out there! And to all the cars that cut in our line, you should know better. I hope you never have to experience what we watched you do today.

Was sent home today due to needing CPR revert...walking through value village this amazing couple over heard me talking to my mom about how I can't go back to work until I have it. This very nice gentleman came up to me and said he teaches CPR classes. He had asked when I need it for, I had told him ASAP. He called his company and got me into his class tonight. Wanted to say.... thank you so much, you had saved me and I greatly appreciate your kindness and generosity.

Boy, you sure taught me a lesson!

Spotted: To the guy that was coming up Ottawa and turned right into the Tim Hortons Drive-Thru. We were waiting for traffic to clear and the truck waiting half on the street and half in the parking lot to move up before we turned left into the parking lot. You just drove up right behind the truck without even noticing us waiting. I flipped you the bird and was waving my hand out the window so upset that someone would cut us off. I even said to my husband you are SPOTTED FOR BEING A JERK! You waved out your window hoping that it fixes the fact that you cut us off and didn t wait your turn. I was so angry and was telling my husband I want to get out of the car and walk up to yours and let you have it, he stopped me. I looked into your vehicle from my passenger side and just noticing you smiling taking your sweet old time at the window sticking your hand out and taking forever to pay for your stuff, it got me even more upset. You finally left and we pulled up. The lady opened the window and the first thing she did was hand us a piece of paper and a small envelope. The paper was folded and it said I didn t see you, I m Sorry. Hope this makes up for it!!
When I was 15 I went to a friend s party and when I was there I was running around with all the other kids but my dress caught onto a nail and it ripped right off me. There I was, standing in my bra and panties in front of my whole class. Even that didn t make me turn red as much as this experience did. I was turning red embarrassed how I acted. You didn t even hear 95% of what I was calling you in my vehicle (unless you can read lips, in which case I am sorry). I am not sure what got me all angry and so quick to judge, I should have taken a deep breath and realized everyone makes mistakes. You left a $20 dollar gift card and our order was only $6. I feel horrible and hope that maybe you see this since we could not see which way you went after we left the drive-thru. I am truly sorry for acting a fool and I hope I didn t scare you with my hand in the air. Obviously you re an awesome person and I should learn to calm down a little and not be so quick to get angry (which I usually do calm down).

Thank You

I did not catch the name of the sales associate that was helping me today, but she was fantastic! I have a party to go to this weekend and was looking for an outfit to wear. After going in almost every store in the mall and being ignored by many sales associates this lady took it upon herself to help me find an entire outfit for this weekend. She suggested tops & pants and shoes for me. She was just what I needed when I wasn't feeling all that pretty. We finally found an outfit, and I'm very excited for this weekend! I don't know her name but she works at maurices at Devonshire mall and has a small tattoo on her wrist. Thank you for your kindness and for making time to help me out today!
