After the worst night's sleep in recent history (see previous blog entry), Michelle and I went shopping - her idea not mine. We checked out the Old Strathcona Farmer's Market, some shops on Whyte Avenue in Edmonton and then this really neat store called Planet Organic.
Michelle and I are into natural foods and organics and thought that this "little" store would be fun. It wasn't little. Once inside the doors it was a full-blown grocery store with staff ... who were knowledgable ... and who cared about my business.
To prove my point, listen to this little story. Michelle and I were looking at products in one aisle when she made a comment to me about looking for Epsom Salts. A stocking clerk overheard her and simply said, "Epsom salts? Follow me." He then took her right to place in the store where she could find them, leaned down to shelf, took out a package, handed it to her and asked, "Is this what you're looking for?"
She didn't ask him for help. He just did it.
Every single person in the store was incredibly well-trained, knowledgeable and actually cared that I came into spend some money. It was "their" priviledge to serve me. I will be back, again and again and again.
Planet Organic is just 2 blocks south of Whyte Avenue in Edmonton on 104th Street (Southbound Calgary Trail).
