Irs And A Simple Thank You.

--by lightbulb, posted Sep 16, 2015

I had some fun today. I needed to talk to the IRS. Nothing major, just needed some information on status of something. Ms. Evans was professional and every time she had to put me on hold, came back apologizing and thanking me for my patience. She didn't need to, she was doing what she needed to do to help me.

When we were done, I again thanked her for her help (she gave me happy news and she fixed something) and I told her that I knew the IRS was understaffed and did not have the resources to do everything they need to do. But I appreciated her help greatly and I thanked her for her professionalism and her service to the public and to the country.

I could tell by her response that she was actually beaming! I am also sure she doesn't have that conversation frequently. It only took a minute. I am sure she felt valued and I felt great having paid a well deserved compliment.
