Service With A Smile

When we experience good service it can transform our day, make our hearts sing and put a big smile on our faces.

This was true for one visiting family over the weekend who loved the friendly service at the local Woolworths supermarket so much that they took to the Burdekin Community Hub group on Facebook to congratulate local staff.

“To the all staff at Woolworths Ayr, your customer service is amazing!” said Christine Oldman from Townsville.

“Everyone that worked there this morning had smiles on their faces and were all very welcoming - your Manager should be proud.”

This one post garnered over 20 comments with locals sharing their own connection with the local store and its staff.

One lady said her daughter had enjoyed working at the store for the past 21 years, another said her mum had been an employee for 15 years.

Another commenter said he found the deli team particularly friendly and then Peta-Anne Bevilacqua from the deli team saw the post and replied.

“Thank you, it is very nice to hear this as we don't get enough recognition,” she said.

“Also, nice to know that customers understand about waiting when we are so very busy.”

It is connections and complements like these that keep our community strong and thriving, allowing everyone to feel good about themselves and the contribution they make to society, both big and small.
