Help FOUND: Gary with Family Express in Valparaiso, Indiana

On Sunday mornings before I go to work I treat myself with a fancy coffee from my neighborhood Family Express on Lincolnway in Valparaiso, Indiana.  I always enjoy chatting up the folks working there at 6am ...and they are always warm and interesting people. One of my favorites is this guy Gary.  He is funny and makes me feel important.  He chats quickly but it is always good conversation with a smile.  I think he likes his job. 

This one Saturday I popped in for coffee at 6:45am because Starbucks was too far away and Blackbird cafe doesn't open till 7am.  I was vaguely interested in getting breakfast.  I saw the bright, well lit warming cabinet for breakfast sandwiches right by the register when I went to pay for my coffee and picked one out.  I asked Gary if the cabinet used to be at the other end of the counter and he lit up with a grin.  He said he'd been doing some research and learned about * where to place things to sell more and decided to move the sandwich case.  There I was, buying one!

I was impressed the he took his time and made an effort to serve his store.  I was amused at how well it worked on me, the average customer.  I wanted to give you guys a chance to say "Hi!" to Gary and congratulate Family Express on hiring great people who give awesome customer service.

*Gary used thoughtful insider language and I forgot the words he used...Gary is smarter than me.
