LETTER

Shop local, its worth it!

 

I am a local entrepreneur. I believe in the local economy and I strive to encourage those who encourage me. Walmart is cheaper, right.  Here is what the big corporate shops do not do for me, living car-free.

Once at a local grocery store, the delivery girl offered me a ride home due to rain (in the middle of the meat aisle). “Do not walk home in the rain Ms,” she said. “I will drive you home.”

Another time, I was carrying a floor mat. “Do not walk home with that Ms, we will deliver it with your groceries,” said the cashier.

A third time, they forgot to charge me for an item. They called: “We will deliver the unpaid item and you can pay us on your next visit.”

I walk in and they say “hello!” They have memorized my name and address.

Personalized and caring service cannot be discounted in dollars.

Think Local . . .
