Everyday activities for working people like us is a routine. Whether at what time we do or at what phase we go, its just the same repetitive tasks. But what made us survive the day is not by the clock turning 5 PM but the people we interact with. The clients never failed to inspire us as they come and go. The more we get to see them everyday, the happier we are. Doesn't it lighten your day when a customer returns back the smiles and lovely greetings we gave them? These things are just simple gestures but means a lot to us. More so with what happened early this morning.
One of our clients was at my back when we are about to open the branch. She was in a hurry as she is also dressed for work. Calling out loud “Mam!” which made me glance back. A white plastic in one hand and her hand bag on the other. Inside the white plastic she handed me are 2 large bars of Lindt dark chocolates and a note which reads: “ Just give this to my dear friend in Western Union”. It was from a former client (sister of the bearer) who used to transact at our branch who was petitioned by her American boyfriend. She had included us in her list of “pasalubong recepients” inside the balikbayan box. If only I can literally melt with the happiness I felt, of course not because of the chocolates :), but of how clients remember you despite the distance. It wasn't just a chocolate but a great reward on what you have done.
