We’ve just come out of the busiest shopping season of the year.

If you were in stores buying gifts during the holidays, you might have run into unpleasant experiences, such as long lines, out-of-stock merchandise or bad customer service.

Temple Terrace Patch blogger Adrian Brooks wrote about an experience she had at Comfy Kids that she described as “disheartening.” Read the blog post here: What Happened to Customer Service?.

Maybe, on the other hand, you had a positive experience, visiting a store where the sales associates went out of their way to make you happy. Perhaps a friendly postal worker helped you make sure your packages arrived on time.
