Making Someone's Day In A Technical Way

My laptop had been out of commission for a while and I knew I had to get it over to Best Buy to have it looked at. I had been putting it because I was worried about how much it might cost me.

I got to Best Buy and was waiting in line watching other people getting their computers checked out and hearing the amount they'd have to pay, I was getting sick!

Finally, I got up to the counter and I explained what was going on with my laptop. Within 5 minutes Greg had it up and running and connected to the internet. He told me I was set, and there was no charge.

I was shocked! I offered a tip and he refused. I offered to buy him lunch. Again, he said no. Finally I said, "What about a bagel? Everyone loves bagels."

Greg responded with a smile, saying, "Bagels are awesome."

I left the store and went to the bagel store that happened to be in the same strip mall. This store is great to because for every dozen bagels you buy you get a dozen free. It's the same with the cream cheese.

So in the end I walked out with two dozen bagels and two pounds of cream cheese! Back over to Best Buy. I walked over to the counter and Greg smiled and said, "Did you really?" 

Since I had to hand it over infront of a manager I got to sing Greg's praises again with the promise to let the company know on their website.

When I left there were a lot of smiles, and I felt I got off cheap just for the price of some bagels, compared to what I thought I could have spent.

Blessed indeed!
