There are a bunch of great people working at Aaron Rents, both in their stores and in the corporate offices. Jolene, the category manager at Aaron’s corporate, was very cordial. She may have even felt a kindred spirit to the chair, as it was manufactured in her homeland of Taiwan. Back at the store, we ate some hard candy and discussed some project customization options we can do with our Solace bungee chairs, specifically to do with colors and back heights. There are also a few crack golfers in the mix, so I’ll have to schedule some time on my next visit to go out with them and Pete.
I also wanted to give a shoutout to Moses, one of the warehouse staff. He came outside and grabbed the heaviest chairs as we walked in and was extremely courteous and friendly. As we were leaving, I was curious which radio station that they had playing in the store, and he told me what he thought it was, but then as we were loading the chairs into my van, he came back out to confirm the radio station. It was a small thing, but small things go a long way, and anything that a company can do in a down economy to set themselves apart is a great thing. I’d love to have Moses at Seatability, and I’d like to cast my official ballot for him to win the employee of the month.
We'd love to hear your comments, so post them here.
i was really glad to see how impresed you were with Moses from Aarons. We are very proud of him he is a hard worker and loving father. This is something that his sons will be able to treasure. i, his mother-in-law would like to thank you for your praise.
