Gratitude: Ashley; what an awesome lady. I had a tricky order due to coupons and she was great about it.

Dear Reader:

As most of you know, I am what is considered an "extreme" coupon enthusiast. I admit with some orders I can be a tad of a pain in the butt, however the money I save by what I do can often times be very worth my efforts. There is usually the cost of upsetting the person who has to deal with my money saving extremeness, which I understand when I want you to ring up 5 items separate even though they are the same item. I really don't mean to be a headache, but what I do keeps my family going when I don't get the hours I hope for at my work or things are tight for whatever reason so despite this I keep doing it and I hope that people like Ashley are the ones who check me out at the register. I was lucky on Sunday and my hopes were met.

Ashley was even mildly upset at what I wanted her to do, and this kick-ass young lady was an absolute pleasure to talk to. She is a budding photobug herself and we actually had a lot in common. She had a very go getting personality and at the same time she was also  what I would refer to as very chill. As I was talking to her, she asked if I did black Friday sales. I will never go to one ever again and I told her about my experience with it waiting in line for a DVD player at Walmart back in 2000. Each. In a nutshell, people were not even acting like people and there was a ton of rude behavior going on. Ashley simply stated that rudeness like that deserved a good old punch in the face in her opinion.

As I continued talking to her, I sensed a real dislike for rude people and each time an example of it came up in our conversation her remedy was simple and direct; take care of it and let them know they are being a butt.  She was so much fun to talk to and I have to say, this girl has got the right attitude to do great things in her life. She does not sit back and just let things happen, she makes things happen. She knows what customer care is and she is very good at it. I felt like I was just chatting with an old friend as she helped me support my husband and I with my coupons.

So Ashley, thank you so much for being just who you are. Thank you for helping me make the most of yet another shopping trip. Thank you for chatting with me and making my shopping experience so enjoyable. when you get up your photo website, let me know and I will post a link to it. Shoot for the stars because with that go getting, problem solving attitude you can move mountains and have one incredible journey no matter where you are headed. In a nutshell, you are awesome and I hope to run into you again. Have a great one!

Artfully Yours,

Jetta Marie
