Wow. Is this my new candy store? My grandmom had her store and it was very good. My dad has his store and it's amazing too, but in another State. I think I am going to declare Christopher Chocolates as my store. Five miles from my work too? In basically a straight line? Why did it take me so long to find you?
I was looking for a candy store and checking out yelp. A few reviews but everything top notch. Okay, I'll make the drive for some supplemental gifts. I already had holiday gifts for my team, but I thought since we are all hitting the gym, that I should also get everyone some chocolates. Right?
I enter Christopher Chocolates and I am almost immediately greeted by friendly staff. Most likely Christopher himself. I see baskets, but I'm not that strong to carry the amount of candy on one arm. I take a lap or two grabbing small things here and there. Stocking stuffers for my wife and a few things for my nephew. Eh, I already got him a great gift, so maybe I'll take a few of his candies... I had a few questions and then it was off to the races. I grabbed a few one pound boxes of already wrapped candies and also an unwrapped two pound box. They offered to wrap it. I wasn't going to, but they'll do a better job than me.
While wrapping my two pound assorted candies, I saw someone clearing out all of the green wrapped candies. He wanted fifteen, but there was only fourteen, so he had to grab a silver box. I offered him an exchange, he told me I was a good man, I laughed and said my wife wouldn't say that, and he told me to have her call him. I then saw his collar and knew I made the right choice for this man of the cloth. There is a reason for telling this story and not to brag about how amazing I am. Because I am amazing and that is why I keep my wife around... When my ego gets too large, she is right there to ground me... Anyways, everyone in this store was so friendly and just had a positive attitude. It's contagious. There wasn't even doubt in my head to make that exchange. In this nice environment, it wasn't even a choice, it was just the only thing to do.
That matters to me. So many people aren't pleasant these days. I'm sure this store is insanely busy for holiday gifts and they are just happy people. You had $150 worth of business from me without me trying any of your products. I'm a bit impressed by that... I've since eaten some of the candy and it is worth it, but you sold me candy based on a positive experience. read more
