Yesterday I promised my great-niece a corsage to wear to her graduation ceremony taking place today. I went to a nearby grocery store that had a florist shop. They told me they could not make a corsage without at least 24 hour notice and probably not even then. I went to another area grocery store that told me they sold flowers only. Then I drove up to Shaw's not feeling very hopeful.
An employee,Glenn, was summoned; I explained my predicament. He said the florist only came in in the mornings. He thought for a moment, left my side to see if he could find someone to assist me and returned with two other employees. The taller of the two, Tyler, said he thought he could fabricate a corsage and would teach the other two employees while doing it. I will never forget the sight of the three of them bent over the flowers and ribbons working to create a lovely corsage. Fifteen minutes later, a very happy customer left Shaw's with a very nice graduation corsage for her niece. This was "over the top" service by Shaw's employees, Glenn Perry, Tyler Everett, Produce Manager, and Dan (?), unmatched by the two other area grocery stores. Thank you. read more
