Food establishments did pretty well this week. I only had one minor issue. Wendy's gave me a regular Coke instead of a Diet, but unless you have very discerning tastes, sometimes it's hard to tell the difference. Especially when every restaurant's mixing valves are a little different. So thumbs up to Sonic, BK and Arby's.
Other people I pay for service split 50/50 this week. At Dacco we use Cintas for our executive uniforms, at least until November 1. For three years they have serviced us weekly. About a year ago the clothing began to show signs of wear and stains became a regular part of our returned clothes. After rounds of complaints we finally gave up and began to search for a new supplier. When we notified Cintas we received no response. Last week my uniform delivery contained only shirts; no explanations, no "I'm sorry", no "it was a mistake". I take that as validation that we made a good decision.
On Saturday morning Cyndi and I ventured out in the houseboat to fill up with fuel. First I called the ship's store to make sure they were open. I was answered very promptly and pleasantly. I began to get ready to back out but had battery problems on one engine. After swapping them around we started our trip. As we rounded the end of the dock I radioed and told them we were coming in. Tony came out, helped us get tied up and helped with the fueling process. After I paid he came back out and helped us get untied and on the way back to our slip. As we turned around and headed out Tony got on the radio and thanked us for our business. In my opinion this is the type service I expect and appreciate!
On another note, Cyndi took the wheel for a short stint. This was her first time to actually drive the houseboat. I'm looking forward to having her continue to learn to drive, just in case!
