So here’s your people helping people story of the day!
This morning, customer “Maymi” comes in to grab some breakfast tacos. I was at my desk working on a stack of catering quotes & Blake was making her order.
I said good morning and ask how her day was going? She replied “it could be better “ or something of the sort.. so I asked “?”…
She said that as she got here her suburban started leaking fluid & there was smoke coming from the right side of the engine.
Austin, our cutting board guy just arrived for his shift & I asked if we could look at it and help her figure out what the problem was. Austin quickly found a broken coolant line splitter. So we got busy calling around trying to find someone to help her get back on the road. Austin has the same vehicle & just happened to have a gallon of coolant in HIS truck. We didn’t have much luck on the phone. We both had to be back in the building because clock ⏰ was ticking on the lunch rush.
Then LAURA drives up as we’re both hanging up our phones & asked “What’s the problem?” …. We show her & she’s says she’ll run down & grab the part & put it for the other customer & she was a bit of a mechanic herself. She had all her tools in the truck! ☺️☺️
Laura came in for breakfast as well but we were sold out! So while the truck was be repaired, we made Laura a fresh bag of breakfast tacos “on us” for being a good samaritan !!
The woman & her husband were in the process of packing & moving to Utah, tomorrow!
This would have been a disaster on the highway. (They have a very young baby).
What a great day! She was really grateful, Laura was a hero, Austin wouldn’t take anything for his efforts.
Life is good!
