Good News Story

I have been shopping at my local supermarket at Mt Warren
Park (it's now called 'Foodworks') for just over ten years.
During that time I have seen the business change hands
several times. Currently, the latest owner is an Indian
gentleman with a blonde-haired, blue-eyed, Aussie wife.
I believe the man is an Indian of the Sikh religion. I am
guessing this because I know the previous owners were
of the Sikh religion
(not Muslem, as some people thought)
....(they wear different turbans, if you notice).

So..... back to my story.....Yesterday, when I was scraping my
last ten dollars in cash to buy a few essentials – my special milk
(lactose free), greek yoghurt (yum!) and cranberry juice –
the gentleman (and he is a gentleman) said to me ‘you shop here
regularly..... don’t ever worry if you are a little short'.....(I wasn't
short ...I actually had the exact money...in change...lol)
.....he continued.... 'you are a good customer and we want you
to enjoy your shopping here….’.

So in other words.....he very kindly extended to me.... credit.
What a rare attitude in today's world. Usually there is
a sign on
the counter.... ‘please don’t ask for credit as refusal
may offend’.

So I say thumbs up to the generous people at Foodworks at
Mt Warren (and here comes my free plug)
by the way they have great specials!.....eg...
Helga's bread and
muffins - $3.09...Pantene - $5.49....Jalna Yoghurt 500g $2.69..
Peters Heaven Multi Packs - $3.99....Cottonelle 6pack - $3.79)

See what I mean....great deli and chooks also....cheers 4 now
