30 Days of Gratitude – Day 17:
Express gratitude to a store manager/clerk who has been extra helpful.

Helen Keller said, “The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of tiny pushes of each honest worker.” It’s far too easy to complain when a store manager or clerk does not meet our expectations. Don’t get me wrong. It’s helpful to graciously inform the individual in charge if the service has been a poor reflection on the business. Trust me, the business owner wants to know and to have the opportunity to correct it for you and for future customers. But let’s take a moment to express sincere thanks to a manager or clerk for going above and beyond. That individual made the extra effort to treat you well; it’s time to return the favor!

Take time today to call or send a card to the store manager/clerk you wish to thank for being extra helpful.

“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men” (Colossians 3:23, ESV).
