I hate shopping and especially for furniture and household goods: too many choices, too much misleading marketing, too many games played by stores. So imagine getting referred to a mattress place with the best mattresses at amazing prices and the owner/salesperson helps you personally.
He recognized how my partner and I communicate, noting our love for each other as part of the selection process, and facilitated finding a mattress that met both our needs, no pressure. While in the store, I watched him answer a call from a woman who had bought from him at a store where he used to work. She couldn't get into her bed because of a leg injury. He had no responsibility for helping a customer of another company despite having worked there, but he arranged to have the bed lowered for her that same weekend, on a Sunday!
How many businesses are compassionate, LGBTQ-friendly (and so very likely any-minority-friendly), make their clients feel seen and understood, and deliver that kind of service?
We ended up with a latex and memory foam 20-year mattress at half the price of a similar sale-priced Tempur-pedic without all the petroleum products and their off-gassing. And a referral to use his delivery service to help us move.
