Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings in the wonderful city of Windsor
I apologize to the very patient customers in line behind me at 2:45pm on January 6, 2016, at the Frescho on Tecumseh E at McDougall. I mistakenly got into the Express lane, and I was purchasing a large quantity of food for a school. I also exceeded the quantity of sale items that you are allowed to buy at one time. I started to panic and get very uncomfortable because I was holding up the line, but the lady behind me, the Manager (Greg), and the lovely cashier, all reassured me that it was no trouble. They were gracious and accommodating, and turned an awkward situation into an act of kindness. I didn't hear one grumble from the back of the line either. You all made my day. Thank you!
Thank you to the young lady at the TBS on Tecumseh this afternoon, the neo Citran was greatly appreciated.
You've been spotted. And I hope your good karma finds you quickly.
I was in hospital all weekend for my father that isnt well. Its been Rough weekend. We went out to eat at Lone Star that evening and I had no desire to eat much. The waitress was concerned and then manger noticed as well. Manger came over kindly asked if I was okie and asked me if everything is ok with the meal that was sitting in front of me. I told him briefly about my dad in hospital. He gave his sincere apology and he wished me good wishes. Made my first smile of the weekend. Once the check came we noticed it was paid for! It was a genuine gesture! I really appreciated it! Thank-you so much!
It was December 31, 2015. My family and I had attended church and in the mass the priest asked us to reflect on our year...I didn't have to do that for very long until I burst out into tears. My 2015 was just a hard year... and the challenges for 2016 I was not looking forward to. Needless to say after mass I was not in the mood to go anywhere. My husband and my daughter convinced me to go out for supper. So we stopped in Boston pizza (tecumseh location) and to my surprise they had 1 booth available all the way in the corner at the back. Worked out for me because my son was
C-R-A-N-K-Y. We sat waiting for our waitress. Then all of a sudden this lady with the 2016 head piece came at us with the most contagious smile and introduced herself to us. She took our order and left. My daughter then leaned over and whispered " I really like her mom she is so happy" I didn't think anything of it and just smiled. At the end of the meal she came over and thanked us and looked at my daughter and said "the next time you come in here you make sure you ask for Jillian and if you can't remember Jillian call me Jill and if you can't remember that then just say the girl who is always smiling they will know it's me" she proceeded to say " do you want to know why I am always smiling?" She turns around and points to a group of people behind her and said "because of them that's my family, look at them don't I have a right to smile everyday...I'm truly lucky." That moment right there, that moment changed it all for me. Because I didnt need anyone to point out how blessed I am...I already know. But she was truly happy and I realized I used to be like that when I looked or talked about my husband and my kids...my eyes would brighten just like that and I missed it, I missed being that happy. I let my all the challenges in 2015 get to me and I kinda lost who I was. I looked at my daughter and looked at you and you changed it for me.
So Jillian...from the bottom of my heart...THANK YOU. You taught me a valuable lesson that night....Just Be Happy. That's it.
I hope this reaches you...I really do because I could have told you that night but I was too choked up to talk. Happy New Year and I hope you always stay that happy.
JILLIAN FROM BOSTON PIZZA IN TECUMSEH....YOU'VE BEEN SPOTTED!!!
This past Saturday I spotted you on the bus stop at Lincoln and Techumseh, where I was also waiting for the bus. We both must've left the bus at Techumseh mall because next I knew I was struggling to reach something (the last one) at the Dollarama and you came out of nowhere and reached it no problem. I didn't properly thank you, so thank you :)
Thank you to the nice gentlemen shopping with his daughter at Dollarama on Dougall today. My daughter loves taking my debit card out of my purse to play with it. I went to go pay for my items at the cash and realized my debit was not in my purse. I had my Visa but they don't except Visa. I proceeded to tell the lady I would be back in fifteen minutes I just needed to go home and get my debit. The nice gentlemen behind me said miss don't worry don't go back I will pay for it. Shocked I said are you sure he said yes just pay it forward. I did not get his name but this kind gesture started my New Year off right. I will be paying it forward. Thank you so much.
The other day I pushed my sister boyfriend caddy out of the drive way so I could pull the truck into the garage to do an oil change once I was done I pulled the truck back onto the road and it was raining pretty good that day after about 20 mins of having the car hooked up to the truck to jump start it no luck so for the next 30 mins in the rain I struggled to push the car into the drive way all alone I had to stop pushing almost every five mins just so people would drive around one person said something but wasnt able to make out what they said over the rain wind and there car but what I do know they were rude. Then just as I was ready to snap, a vehicle pulled up alongside me and offer to help and after another 15 mins of pushing finally got the car back into the drive way again to the gentleman who stoped to help push a older black caddy into a drive way on the east side of Lloyd George again thank you and happy new year!
Im at work, my husband ordered dinner for himself and our daughters. I called him on my break and he told me the delivery woman locked her keys in her car after delivering the food to our door. My husband went outside and helped her for 25 mins and finally got her door open and beat CAA to the punch. Im a very lucky woman to be married to such an awesome man :)
