Happy couple and employee Stephanie at Shoppers last night.

This is just a shout out to the really happy couple and Stephanie at Shoppers Tec at Howard maybe a little before 4am last night. You never see couples laughing joking and happy with each other like these two were. Employee Stephanie is a fun character and has to be a huge asset to the store.
The combo of these three made for the end of a really good night. Keep it going. :)

Good people

Last Saturday my wife unknowingly lost her broken phone case at Costco gas pumps. She didn't notice it until she was in the strip mall across the street. This may not sound like such a big deal but it was one of those phone cases that had a flap to hold credit cards/ ID. Returning to the pumps the attendant said no one had turned it in to him but it may have been turned in at the store. As the store was already closing she returned home and called the first of the two cards that were in it to report them lost. While on hold she received a call from the manager to inform her that someone did indeed turned it in and would be locked up for the night. Returning to the store the next morning she got it back with everything in tact. She asked that manager if the person who turned it in left their name. Her reply was the good ones never do, so if you're reading this and are the good one who turned it in Thankyou, thank you very much!!

DEAR WOMAN PICKING UP HER KIDS

To the woman picking up her kids outside of Brennan today on Raymo at 3:45 in the dark blue dodge caravan. PULL OVER ALL THE WAY TO THE CURB SO THAT CARS ARE NOT BACKED UP BEHIND YOU UNABLE TO GET AROUND DUE TO THE NARROW STREET. THEN ONCE YOUR KIDS ARE FINALLY IN YOUR CAR AND THE LIGHT AHEAD IS GREEN DO NOT PROCEED TO MOVE 3 INCHES AND THEN STOP TO TALK TO SOMEONE OUTSIDE. We waited a total of 2 minutes for you to load your kids and all their stuff into your trunk. You did not pull over far enough so we had to wait behind you. Mind you by the time we pulled up you were already out of your car so I could only imagine how long you were there for. We couldn't get around you which then caused a (as far as I could count) 6 car back up. The guy behind me tried to pass ME and get around the both of us but almost got hit by an oncoming car (that guy was stupid but still) then once you finally got your kids into the car and reveresed ALMOST HITTING MY CAR and came back onto the road when the light 10 feet ahead of you turned green, all the cars in front of you proceeded to go through the light you STOPPED, rolled down your window and talked to a kid on the sidewalk. IM THE WOMAN WHO HONKED MY HORN 8 TIMES AT YOU.

Are you really under the impression that you are so entitled that you block traffic, move 3 inches and then stop to block traffic all over again. You and I made it through the light but the 6+ cars you made wait down Raymo DID NOT. Thank your child for giving me the finger as well, it showed me really what type of mother you are if I couldn't already guess.

Move your car to the curb when you pull over. Raymo is used by people who aren't picking their children up from Brennan, but are just trying to get home from work and don't need their car side swiped in the process.

Act of kindness

It's barely 10AM and this morning has been brutal for all of us at the office. I miraculously found some time to swing out to Tim's. We all agreed we could use it! Our order was over $17 and I get to the window and IT'S PAID! It's not a ton, but also not a small bill and it meant A LOT. I didn't get your name dude, but really, from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU! That was so sweet and entirely unnecessary, but so appreciated & lt;3

1400 Block of Arthur Residents

To the ones dealing with the latest construction on Arthur Rd 1400 Block:

I am a resident within the 1400 block of Arthur that has been dealing with the construction due to the new sewers being put in. As a result to this construction, lately we have not been able to park on our road OR even our driveways due to them being completely blocked off (at least within the last month) due to the roads and curbs being done, and that's fine, however in the last 3 months, I have had 3 nails that have gone into my tire in my vehicle, all 3 nails, INTO THE SAME TIRE. One at the start of this construction, and two within the last 3 weeks, once again, in the same tire! Now, I understand nails enter tires sometimes, but 3 in the exact same tire? Two of them being within the last 3 weeks apart. I'm a little concerned that this is no longer a coincidence and more of an act done on purpose. Why you ask? I have no clue. (No I don't have any enemies lol)

My question to you folks is, has anybody else experienced this? I'm a little concerned (as a few others who know the story are thinking the same thing) that this is being done on purpose due to the massive amounts of vehicles having to take up extra parking space on the other streets. Please only comment below if you have any real information to pass along.

Thank You

Excellent Customer Service for Midnights

I was at the Tim Hortons at Forest Glade Dr on Tuesday Nov 28th around midnight when i had the best service ever from the counter person. She was a wonderful woman, named Lexi and I have to say i usually get the worse grumpiest service when I frequent these places at night but this time i was greeted by the biggest smile and warm attitude, which is much appreciated after working 12 hour days. I wish more places were like this with exceptional people like this young woman.

Places like these fast service restaurants need more people like Lexi employed, as not only did she bring a smile to myself, she really seemed to enjoy what she was doing. I know midnights isn't for everyone especially in the food industry, so hopefully places can hire more people like Lexi as she definitely made my night.

Thank You Lexi, I'll be seeing more of you and i will be sending in my friends to see you and your warm smile.

4 years ago we had hit some really hard times. Lost the house, cars and had to move back in with my husband's parents until we got back on our feet. I was shopping at fresh co during that time one day and when I went to pay but my card was declined. I was a total mess and asked the cashier to hold my order so I can call my husband or the bank. My husband told me that we were in overdraft but he can run to the bank and make a quick deposit in the next 20 min. My husband was in Toronto picking up whatever work he could while we struggled to keep up with kids and living at his parents and trying to save where we can. As embarrassed as I was I waited until I noticed the 2 people behind me when I was in line were gone before I walked up to the cashier and told her I should be able to use my card in about 25 min. She smiled and said no need someone paid for my stuff. $76.19 was my total and that was for necessities like diapers, baby food, and some groceries to help out some for my in-laws house. The 2 people behind me both offered to pay the instant I walked away in tears. They each pitched in $50 and bought a gift card that the cashier was able to use to pay for my groceries leaving me with some extra credit. Well, I don’t think I can explain how horrible I felt because I never got a chance to thank them. Since then things have been good for my family and I and we like to remember the little things that mattered to us when times were rough and be thankful. I have donated 2 $100 prepaid visa cards to Spotted in Windsor to giveaway this month in hopes to show our appreciation. We are also looking for an organization that helps families in need in Windsor. We want to help out how we can to make sure we can at least help a family or 2.

Once again to those 2 angels behind me in line, thank you for showing me how awesome people can be with the amazing good deed you did. I want to urge everyone to do what they can to help those in need within your community throughout the year, but especially during this cold and rough season coming up. Thank you to Spotted in Windsor for helping me give back.
