Day 690 of 1000
I am working in Arvada Colorado for a few days with one of our vendors. We are making a big push to get some stuff done, so everyone came into work this Saturday morning. I drove through McDonalds on the way in to get some breakfast. The young girl who greated me acted genuinely excited to be taking my order. I said thank you when I finished my order and she giggled. When I got to the window, she gave me a big smile, looked me in the eye, and asked me how I was doing. It surely seemed like she really wanted to know. I love that. So many times we go through the little processes of day to day life without giving it much thought. It was a reminder to me that service with a smile is important and is a huge thing when it is genuine.
Update: Lorena read this and reminded me that she worked at the very first McDonalds that opened in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. She has VERY fond memories of her time there. It was all brand new, the employees were selected very carefully, it was a happy, fun place to work, and they genuinely tried to do the best they could for their customers. How good is that.
