I called with less than a hour for a delivery window and Not Only did Brittany patiently AND expeditiously help me select from their inventory- she just ABSOLUTELY went above and beyond offering creative suggestions for my order!
Can somebody PLEASE give her a raise? Or can we have her teach all of humanity how her personality and professionalism should be the template for all customer service relations?
Thank you to her manager for squeezing in my surreptitiously last minute delivery, and thank you Brittany For Being AMAZING!!!”
