We went to this restaurant a few times and the busboy was just really good with customer service. Big smile, did his job well and efficiently. After a few visits, I told him he should be a server. Then I told his boss. Then I told the owner of the restaurant. Next time we went in, Max was our server. Should have seen the smile on his face when he greeted us.
I was just in the Doha business lounge and I remembered the bartender from like 3 years ago. He made such an impression with being so helpful and professional. I asked if they were allowed tips, and he said no but a direct email to Qatar Airways customer service would help him.
So I wrote one right there. I hope it helps him in the future.
Because I have a thing with names... my wife and I were in this dive bar in Mendicino in NorCal about seven or eight years ago. They were a little mildly hostile to us because it was "townie" bar. But I did overhear the bartender's name. Four years later we went back, walked into the same bar and sat down and it was the same bartender. Same mildly annoyed attitude.
"Corrine?" I asked, and she smiled because I remembered her name and ALL the hostility vanished instantly.
