Ok so we all know about IHOP. Well tonight my hubby 3 kids and niece went to eat there for a late dinner. To our pleasant surprise we happened to come in on a special. From 4pm-10pm All kids eat free with an adult entree purchased. This was great.
WHAT was even better was our server Brittany. She was young (maybe mid to late 20's), positive, upbeat and GREAT with the kids.
When we got in I asked out oldest to ask for a table outta the way and let them know we had a loud bunch of kids tonight so we got the back section LOVED IT!
Brittany took our drink and kids orders and turned them in first so they could be ready ASAP then she brought out a "Snack platter" for the kids. Saltine Crackers and 2 tiny cups of chocolate chips and 2 tiny cups of cherries. The kids loved it.
She was so nice and happy about her job it seemed it was contagious.
I enjoyed the service and her happiness.
Once we were about to leave she came to me and said that since i had tomatoes with my meal she wanted to see if i would like their new oven roasted tomatoes and brought me a couple. I thought that was a nice touch. and yes i did like them very tasty.
She said she works most all week-ends and gets there about 3pm. She has been there 5 years and it no wonder why.
Now FYI...if you are a "LONER" person who likes to be served and never thought of again till the end of the meal then Brittany is NOT for you. i dont mean that in a rude way but she IS a people person and loves to help & serve.
IF you are in the are please check her out, tip big and tell her Melissa sent cha. i told her (Afterwards) that i would blog about this.
Till Next time

6/16/10 UPDATE regarding how to Dispose of your Meds....
OK here it is: I called the medicine shope and spoke at length with David (Spence I think he said) his first comment was "DO NOT FLUSH" the expired medication. YES Medicine Shoppe in Angleton DOES have a contract with a company that take the old meds and properly disposses of it for you. The contract is with Sharps and they haul it off to Houston... See More, Texas once it is full.
David Said there is NO charge for this service and the meds DO NOT have to be purchased from there to use this service. He also said there had been a big write up int he local paper on this some time ago. So thank you Teresa & Becky for your comments PLEASE pass along to others.

6/15/10 Why the "Chamber of Commerce?".....
Recently I sent in an online application for my business to join the "Greater Angleton Chamber of Commerce” I wasn’t really expecting to hear much back to be honest with ya. I thought perhaps they would mail me some info in a few days.
Well I received a call last week from Tonya Visor who serves on the board of directors at the Angleton Chamber of Commerce. I was to be honest, impressed. In other circumstances when you fill out an online app you have someone from a "Call Center" call you and half listen to what you were "inquiring about" as they smack gum and file their nails.....So I was pleasantly surprised to hear from Ms. Tonya.
We spent a while on the phone talking about all the benefits to being a member of the chamber...it was a whole lot more than I was aware of. She was so helpful and patient in answering all my questions. What I appreciated the most was her "realness" and sincerity in talking to me, her interest in the kind of business i was starting, her excitement in telling me everything she thought I needed to know, her respect for the Chamber and our Community as well as the fact that she was NOT at all aggressive or pushy about me needing to "JOIN NOW NOW NOW". I felt like i was talking to a friend not a sales person or anything like that. FOR me that kind of thing is priceless!
We met today so we could go over some more info and sign some forms. I will share with you just SOME of the benifits to being a Chamber Member....
NETWORKING
Monthly Member Luncheons
2 listings in the membership directory
Advertising on their website
New members mentioned in their newsletter
Volunteer opportunities
Sponsorship opportunities
Committee meetings
Use of their conference room at discounted rates
Referrals from the Chamber and soooo much more!
This is how I have always seen it.... The Chamber is the heartbeat of any city, it is the first place new people call, the first place to get a vibe on what the city is all about and being a part of it gives the shopper a sense of accountability.
So Why join the Chamber of Commerce as a small business owner? The real question really is WHY WOULDNT you?
