I can't say enough about Becu at 183 Aurora Shoreline. I went in today, having to ask for another…read moredebit card replacement. This has gotten to be a habit. of misplacing, losing or (one time) stolen debit cards. I'm always actually uplifted every single time I leave this place (BECU). In customer service relations my entire life, I'm big on customer service.
I always ask if they have been trained in customer relations, and I always get "No" Clearly, people like or even love their job there, and are respected by management.
One time while I was waiting for a free professional, the concierge was young lady who laid out a bunch of investment plans for me while I waited to be seen. I'm laughing because I have no money most of the time. I felt like I was loaded, trying to place all my money somewhere so I can make more. She knew this and said yeah, we can just start with 5 dollars here or there and get you rolling. She was very consistent, but not in a way of arrogance, where I was getting pushed and pulled in all directions in a full court press to get something from me, as if someone was looking for a commission. Not even close
Like everyone there, she was perfect. Done with care, true care where she didn't let go, but I felt free to say anything (professional). and I actually got interested as I was getting educated. I know what excellent customer service is, and in today's businesses, customer relations appear to be a lost art. AN after thought, maybe 3rd most important
The air on the back of my neck stands up, when I'm not treated in a well, or even if some else is not being treated respectfully. Countless times I was reminded They are the onesith that sign your paychecks. I don't complain anymore, I just make sure that I compliment the person that has been professional with High standards. Many times, I'll track down a supervisor and rain on about how excellent a waiter is, or a cashier, that always has the best attitude with us whining about prices or whatever
Hence, why I'm writing this tonight, as the young man with longer blond hair, was so kind with me. Smiles. putting me at ease, making sure that I was comfortable. Later that evening, had to go back and get my cane that I forgot. The Kid cleaning the glass and the ATM's, said, "Oh yeah, wait right here" He walked in the back, and was eager to get this back to me before they closed. Another smile, "Here you go sir"
All of this stuff can seem really small? I feel it a little writing this. But it is not, it is HUGE! The greatest businesses treat their customers in the same way. I just like it, because I'm uplifted from this because I, and most people in this small spinning rock of a world we live in, could use a lot more of these types of exchanges. It's my honor sharing this. Keep up the good work
