I love to order things that show up at the door that are fun like a McGizmo but, not TP, motor oil, and things like that. Can you imagine me yelling 'Honey, the cat food just arrived." Her response:'that's great, honey!' Only the cats care as they have to investigate all boxes, especially one with their food in it,
I still like to go to the bank, because I know the manager, or if you run a business knowing your banker is a major thing. ATMs are for people who have $40.00 in the bank and are taking out twenty.
I still like to go to the pharmacy, again nothing like knowing pharmacist and the key Tech. people and the manager of the drug store. No mail order here.
Really, I still like to poke around the stores, most stores I go in know me and adderss me as Mr. RedLED,,ok my real last name but it is nice to have these relationships.
When we go to certain restaurants, we are seated at once, the bartenders knows to the exact drop in our drinks, we have the same busboy and waiter, and the chef and manager stop by.
These are things anyone can do, anyone! and they are nice little touches, and when you travel a lot it is nice to come home to things like that, it makes you feel like Sinatra.
I like the the big mega things like Amazon and such, but, I'm shocked at how workers at Amazon are treated. WSJ or some outlet wrote a piece as to how mean they are to their employees, I mean awful. You can google it. The problem is top down from a wacked out CEO, who probably steals and takes all the credit for all the ideas his staff comes up with, just like Walt Disney was famous for.
For God sake the TSA ask if the can see in my briefcase, they say it it fine but we want to see the flashlights, and the call me Mr. Redway. If you frequent places and introduce your self to the people in charge, you get great service.
But thanks to, the OP for the info as I do need more eneloops.
