There Are Good People Out There
Jun 26th, 2009 by Alex
I owe a coworker a Diet Coke for his suggestion to follow up with the landscaping company. I owe a lunch to Sharon at Safelite for her reinforcement of that suggestion. Either I’m too cynical or I’ve had bad experiences in the past.
The landscaping company that maintains the property around the office paid for my car window in full. No questions asked. Well, they did take a minute to verify that one of their crews was working at my office on Tuesday. That was it. Not expecting much, I just asked about the possibility of reimbursement. The office manager at Safelite told me that they — the landscaping company — were pretty honest and good about paying for accidental damages, but I was surprised how quickly it played out. As I was standing by the service desk at Safelite while a new window was being installed, they provided a purchase order number to put the charges on their account. I didn’t pay a dime. No prior coordination or notification. Aside from driving to the repair facility and making two quick phone calls, I didn’t have to do anything.
There are good people out there.
I’m beaming with joy here. This IS good news. So glad!
