Hey everyone, like the title says this is for the staff at my local Tandy. Now, I have mentioned in the past Tandy's short comings, but that has always been more aimed at the corporate business plan. The staff at my store is really great. A few weeks ago the manager called me to let me know about an elite sale they were having. From Friday morning until Saturday closing they were offering a membership upgrade sale. Which meant being a gold club member I would receive elite pricing on everything. This sounded pretty great to me. And I was really impressed that they called me about it. But, I was busy with work and I didn't make the sale. I just had too much going on. Well, I walked in this past Tuesday evening. And, as always, I was greeted by name. I told them I was sorry I had missed the sale. Now, truth be told I wasn't going in to make any significant purchase. I was actually just looking for some unwinding time after work. A little more on that..... My wife and I went to a berieved parents retreat last weekend. And while it was nice being there for the other parents, we brought home a little more baggage than we first realized. We lost out little Eddie almost 4 years ago. He only survived 2 weeks in the NICU. It was very helpful for the parents who have only recently lost a child to see us carrying down the road. It gave them a little "light at the end of the tunnel" so to speak. But Monday my wife decided to stay home with our 5 year old son and have a "mom and monkey" day. All good so far. Tuesday she had a bit of a meltdown and had to stay home again. Luckily, the good Lord gave me some encouraging words for her before I left for work. Sha was able to overcome and snap back. By Wednesday morning she was gunning to get back to work teaching art to her middleschoolers. She is so amazing. So, back to Tuesday evening, I wasn't sure what I would be dealing with when I got home, so I stopped by Tandy. After apologizing for missing the sale I was wandering around to see if I needed anything specific. As I was doing this, the manager informed me that anything I purchased that day, I would get that elite pricing. They didn't know what was going on in my world, but they sure made me feel good that evening. I bought about eighty dollars worth of stuff and saved about 40 dollars. It was nice to get the sale price two weeks after the sale. Good on ya, Meghan.
