My two cents

I'm not an avid couponer, but lately with our budget I've been trying to use them a little more. The ones I really like are the restaurant coupons! One of my favorite fast food places is Arby's, but it's can be pretty pricey. Actually Cam and I joke that we have to take out loans to eat there. So, lately I've been stashing the Arby's coupons and going about once a week at lunch. Our local Arby's is amazing. Seriously, it's one of the best fast food places as far as customer service and overall experience.  At lunch the manager is almost always there and she is very professional, fast, and friendly. The food is always served quick and taste fresh and warm. Yesterday, when I went they were having a bake sale to raise money for the "No Kid Hungry" foundation. It appeared that the staff had baked homemade goods to help raise money for this program. I was impressed by that! For one, it showed teamwork. The staff took time out and baked cookies and brownies and were working together to raise money.

I know this is weird going on about a fast food place, but what I'm getting at is that I thought because I've been going there pretty consistently and every time I go I get the same great service I decided to let them know. I took 10 minutes out of the day to send the corporation a note letting them know our specific store was doing a great job. It seems like in today's world we just feed off the negative and it's so EASY to complain about things and that just spreads. I think one of the scariest attitudes that we have sometimes is that we want someone or something to fail and we are usually pretty quick to voice it. Sadly I've fallen into that many times in my own personal life. I've gotten news about someone and have thought "well, that will never work for them" or "I'll give them til ___ then that'll end" How awful to feel that way about someone! 1 Thessalonians 5:11 says "Therefore encourage one another one another and build one another up, just as you are doing".

Is there someone or somewhere that you've been recently that impressed you by their service? If so, maybe take a few minutes and let them know!
