Day 56 ~ Critic
at Large
Feb 25,
2014
My first:
I gave a restaurant a favorable critique on Facebook.
I was
going to be doing some “fix-it” work at my friend’s house so, before our visit
to Home Depot, we went to breakfast at the neighborhood diner, Troy Family
Restaurant in Troy, IL.
A nice
lady greeted and seated us, offered us our beverages of choice and said our
server would be right with us. The server arrived soon after and took our order
in a friendly manner. In about 10 to 15 minutes later, our meals were in front
of us steaming out. Everything was there and very nicely presented. The bacon (and I am picky about my bacon) was
just the way I like it…crisp without
being overcooked or, worse yet, with areas of raw fat.
When we
went up to pay our bill, the two women asked us how everything was. As with
most of us, I started to nonchalantly say it was very good. But then I said,
“Hey, wait a minute…it was all great!” Then I proceeded to be very specific
with compliments of my whole experience at this simple little diner. I also
said to be sure and tell that guy back there too, pointing to the kitchen. (I wish
I would have gone back there and told the “chef” myself…next time I will!) I
asked if they were on Facebook and they said “sure are”. When I had time that evening,
I found their Facebook page and composed a post reiterating my pleasant breakfast
experience. It felt good to share the “goods”!
So the
deal is…Compliments go a long way and I totally believe that they encourage more
effort to maintain and improve. The world can ONLY become a better place by
NEVER missing the chance to give a sincere compliment! Let’s do it!
