This is a list of companies or products that I like a whole lot, for one reason or another. I personally appreciate quality and customer service and these are all examples of those fine qualities.
The Mermaid Cafe, Dublin, Ireland
69/70 Dame Street
Dublin 2
Truly fantastic food, a nice atmosphere, not too stuffy and with excellent service. Go. Now.
Comet Cleaners, Addison, Texas
2550 Midway Road Suite 188
Carrollton, Texas 75006
972-250-4415
These guys simply rock – the best dry cleaner I have ever had. They do the job right every time, fix things without complaining (usually before I notice) and generally provide a “textbook” example of perfect customer service. They also come out with an umbrella when it is raining, carry your clothes to the car for you and provide ice cream in the summer. Worth every dollar you spend there!
Q Donut(s)
4101 East Park Boulevard
Plano, Texas 75074
972-881-0492
Donuts with a smile – and a few extra donut holes thrown in! I used to live a couple of blocks from this location and they were always wonderful – a cheerful “good morning” and a “have a nice day” went a long way. So did the donuts…
Courtyard by Marriott, Willoughby, Ohio
35103 Maple Grove Road
Willoughby, Ohio 44094
800-663-4230
I showed up one evening sans credit cards (don’t ask) and the response from the manager was “have a fresh cookie – we’ll check you in and sort this out tomorrow” – I now stay there every time I go to that part of Ohio (and yes, they still act that way)!
Metro Maids, Dallas, Texas
9914 Hurley Way
Dallas, Texas 75220
214-350-8585
I hate cleaning house, so over the years I have had a number of house keeping services. Metro Maids is by far the best (and the cheapest) I have ever had. They are fast, efficient, effective and scare the hell out of my cat. Call them up and quit cleaning your own place!
