Potatoes and Onions

Today I experienced an appreciation of customers. I can't really explain the feeling but I will do my best.

I went to Ausable Produce a local grower and distributor of potatoes and onions. This is a good size business that supplies many grocery stores in the area. They will also sell to walk in customers like me. I purchased 20 lbs. of new white potatoes and 10 lbs. of Spanish onions for $9.50.

It is not so much that the price is really good. It was the way I was treated that made me feel like I was important to their business.

Upon entering the office I was pleasantly greeted by a lady who I will call an office worker. (she wasn't wearing work boots) I put in my request for potatoes and onions. She explained the different sizes and types. After paying she directed me to door number 5. This should be easy but the roll-up doors were up so the numbers are not visible except for the closed door number 6. My conclusion; door before it should be 5. I wander in and again, I'm pleasantly greeted by the partner/operator of the business. I'm at the wrong door but no matter he explained where to pull my vehicle next time. I offered to move there but that was not necessary "just wait right where you are". He left and got my order carried it to my truck in front of the office and thanked me and I thanked him.

I feel I met "givers" not a "takers" and people that show sincere interest in others.
I hope I can touch others the same way.
Then the life that I am blessed with, will not have been a waste of time.
