I'll be honest- I never really paid much attention to Con's Fresh Fruit and Veg. I got my veggies from Coles, and never really cared about the more local stores. That all changed however, when I met a boy called Vasili.
The first meeting was completely on accident- I was walking past, and I heard this rich, booming Greek voice. "Fresh fruit and veg, come get your fresh fruit and veg!"- I remember the words perfectly. My curiosity piqued, I made my way over to the stall. At once I could see who was doing the spruiking- the boys' charismatic presence leaked personality and cheerfulness. Despite his crutches (following some spectacular sporting injury no doubt) he was bustling around, striking up conversations with every customer and hollering his wares almost simultaneously. I started talking to him, and I was blown away by his maturity, wisdom and kind spirit. His knowledge relating to his produce was incredible, and he was able to quote me a price instantly.
Con's Fresh F&V has become my number one destination for grocery shopping, and its all because of this young boy. I've probably spent upwards of one thousand dollars at this store; Vasili needs a promotion or at the very least a substantial pay raise.
5/5- what an outstanding employee! read more
