In one post this past week I was a bit harsh with the locals in Las Vegas on the heels of a couple of annoying frustrating encounters with clueless unskilled store employees at a handful of local retail outlets.
Subsequently, I thought it only fair to also mention occasions when workers act in an exemplary fashion, too.
After all, these selfless giving individuals - who toil away daily - are role models to look up to.
For example, before I started off on the next leg of my journey in the Mojave Desert, I popped into Vons to snatch up some snacks to nibble on.
A down-to-earth woman stepped out from behind the cooler in the Deli section and greeted me with a broad smile.
“Anything I can help you with, dear?”
Then, she offered me a free sample of chicken just rousted from the oven.
The butcher behind the meat case grinned and gave me a cheery hello, too.
When I got to the small line at the check-out - a gentleman with a few more items than moi - beckoned for me to go ahead.
Smooth sailing at Vons.
It used to be pleasant like this at Pavillions in West Hollywood until an unsavory element took over.
I confess!
All the folks I crossed paths with at Vons in Vegas were midde-class white Americans without any "attitude" or delusions of grandeur.
Maybe that was why the service was so prompt, courteous and professional!
Maybe I need to re-think where I shop on a regular basis, eh?
Kudos to Vons.
