Compliment Board

Okay crew members. I'm sounding the alarm. The time has come. We are going on the offensive. A very, very polite offensive. 

We are going to single handedly...with our multiple hands...change the mood of this country. No more strife. No more parties: Democratic, Libertarian, or Tea.  We are going to start a mood in this country where we appreciate what we have...not longing for what we think we are missing.

We're going to focus on the good. And only the good. 

Here's what we'll do. If you're driving and someone cuts you off...don't shoot THEM the finger. No. That's recognizing the bad. Quickly find a good driver and give them the thumb! Thumbs up, that is.  Let someone know they were driving well. 

And if a waitress gives you bad service at a restaurant...regain your focus and recognize a server in the same restaurant that may be wonderful with their customer. Let them know you noticed and compliment them. 

If you really want to change the mood and affect as many people as you can, call the 1-800 number of whatever company you are visiting and tell them about the wonderful server you saw. By doing this, we are giving the customer service operator a welcome reprieve from the endless complaints they receive. In fact, now you can compliment THEM. Take it all the way to the top. 

It just may be that the original waitress you initially called about will now receive a welcomed reward from her company. Now his/her esteem has grown and the energy will expand to include every customer they have after that.

We can do this! Here is a short list of phone numbers that will help get us started in our endeavor. And please, please share your stories with me and the rest of the crew. We'll compare and see who had the best WOW story.
