… when I write a review or praises something here with a post I always send the link to my post to who it may concern – done that for the last 4 months.
It has been quite a few links that has been flying around the world during that time, but only 2 replays so far. Not like I accept anything back when I’m not satisfied and not really even when I have been pleased about things. 
I wrote a post about my Garmin GPS and how I use it as a pedestrian instead of maps when I’m away on my trips – my post; “somehow I’ll find my way home”- I sent of the link to their customer service here in Sweden – it only took a couple of hours and they came back to me with a very nice email from the Swedish office and following morning I got one from their office in Chicago. Fantastic!!! Couldn’t believe it. That I call customer service of World Class. 
Every restaurant I have reviewed have got the link to my post – none has come back so far until this morning – when Tom Douglas office and his personal assistant Jessica – came back with a big thank you and I’m invited to come back to her in person when I visit Seattle again – my post; “tom’s “lola” … full of flavors”. Doesn’t really matter if the chance is very small that I will go back to Seattle – it’s just wonderful to be acknowledge.
Thank you so much, Jessica and I will come back to you – when back in town.

Nia, thank you for … stopping by and be such great support for me here.
Very nice
Well I’ve just missed so much. Will have to read back and catch up
Susan … no rush … you take your time .. *smile and you don’t have to read everything neither.
that is just plain awesome!!!!!!!! how proud u must feel!
It was a great feeling to open the mail .. *smile
Our whole life is about response to give and to get.
this is very true, and it is nice to get mail with pieces other than bills
I’m so glad they acknowledged you. I love your reviews and though I’m not seeing Seattle in my future, if I ever “DO” go there, because of their response to you I would go. Good Karma.
Thank you … you never know about Seattle, maybe we win on the lottery. *smile – and I will send other people there.
Well now wouldn’t that be FUN and GENEROUS and I HOPE I’M ONE OF THEM . Did I write that out loud?
Yes, you did *smile … it wouldn’t hurt that is for sure .. just to win enough – what ever that can be .. probably so much as possible. *laughing
I have lovely imaginations of winning the lottery. It would probably help if I played….
Here’s one blog about this lottery winning: http://bikecolleenbrown.wordpress.com/2009/10/10/lottery-village/
Wonderful! …. and I love you choice of music on this one.
Frank, thank you … it’s from the film The Mission – love it too.
good manners cost nothing and it’s nice to be acknowledged
Totaly agree, but so few has good manners today – especially when it’s about businesses. It’s terrible really.
I agree with this. It’s not you’re asking anything in return. It’s the ethics. The values. How you get along with people, especially customers who are the strength of your business. A simple thanks means a lot
In the bottom line … it only takes a couple of minutes … to return a thank you – but companies are really bad at that. The company I worked for had 2 special girls that answered on every email and letter that our customers sent us. Everybody got an replay.
I think people are so busy these days, good manners are forgotten.
Yes, but businesses should know better – but yesterday I got an email from another restaurant in Seattle.
