Maji's blog: "The Chronicles of Kindness"

As things go, if I become attached to a product, they will inevitably discontinue it. So as with my fave summertime drink for the last 4-5 yrs or so, Seagrams Green Dragon, a kind of melon tooter gin n juice mix.

With local stores out of stock, online I went to try and hunt down the last remnants of this product. I did find some here n there., but shipping to my state proved it was gonna painful at best. A few of the websites claiming to be able to deliver had a link to check for closest availability near me. So I clicked both and they came back with the Richmond ABC, and had a number to call.

I was already braced for a very condensending state office person to relay to me with underlyingly snide joy of how shit out of luck I was....but instead this bubbly angelic southern voice answered. Robin listened tentatively as I blathered about my dilemma and the path that led me to her.  Luckily the website showed a Seagrams item number which helped her out immensely. Without complaint she immediately went to work without so much as a sigh, but came back with "Iiiiiii'm not seeing any in our system here......." (she paused while I deflated) "buuuuut, I AM seeing a case of it in Arlington's inventory. If you give me a lil bit I will sure call up there and see if I can get them to pull it for you".  Im of course fists in the air muttering yesyes that she even went as far as checking for me.

About 2 hrs later she called me back, saying they boxed it for her, and will send it to her office. She said "It may take a bit, but I will get it on the next truck going to your local ABC store. I already called there to let them know it will be coming and marked for you. Doreen is the lady to talk to when you come to pick it up. Theres no shipping because it will be hitching a ride on our inventory trucks. Can I help you with anything else suga?" I said "You can listen to my feet do this jig on floor while I sing about how awesome you are". She snorted, and we "woooooed" simultaneously.  Then she said "well just call up there about Weds and check see if its there, so glad I could help".

Today, ....Doreen from the local store called me, to let me know that she had sumn for me. Evidently Robin gave her my number, and she took the time to let me know it came in a day early.

And......turns out Robin got me a closeout price for each bottle, the entire case was 58 dollars. Thats less than half the shelf price. Frikin incredible.

So I picked it up just a few minutes ago, and Doreen mentioned I could fill out a costumer service pamplet if I like.  I said absolutley, and so I did it right there and gave her a stellar review with comments to send back to her employers.

A complete stranger,  that in no way had to even entertain my inquiry & request, but regardless went above and beyond, simply cuz she wanted to help.
