Customer Service to Da Max
Friday, September 28th, 2007Bob and I stopped at the Le Jardin Smoothie shop at the Hyatt Waikiki to check our e-mail following my presentation to the staff at Seafood Village.
Le Jardin owner Ellen Poon whipped up a great fresh vegetable juice drink. It was delicious. She asked me if I would like to have something to eat, and I told her that I would be going out to dinner soon. She said, “How about a piece of toast (on the house) to hold you over until dinner?” When I said, “Okay”, she asked, “White or whole wheat”. I asked for the whole wheat.
A moment later she returned saying, “We are out of whole wheat”. I told her that I really didn’t really need it, and she said, “Okay, I’ll give you a rain check”.
A few minutes later Ellen appeared with two nice pieces of whole wheat toast, and said, “This bread is about as fresh as you can get”. I was shocked. She actually sent someone running to get some whole wheat bread to fulfill her commitment to me.
Well, guess where I will be grabbing smoothies, juices and sandwiches from now on when I am in Waikiki. Service sells! Stop by and meet Ellen; you will be glad you did.
