I just wanted to post this here because I really got touched "in the Christmasy season and all"
Soo, I work over here at a German dealership (I am American) (for those that don't know)and we do have a fairly decent sized American Clientel. (a U.S. Army post is right down the street).--I am the translator/ do everyhting that has to do with the u.s. stuff.
So, most of the time I deal with pissed off or just asses that arent happy with something.
heck, services are free in the U.s.-- not here! There are plenty soldiers that come that are very polite and enjoyable people too....so on to my little story....
So 2 weeks ago I get my job card and I need to take the TPM sending units out of 18" rims and put them into 19" rims- easy enough-- Its a brand new U.S. white M3-- get the job done all goes well.- sweating bullets with breaking down so many big NEW tires and rims!!!
well last Thursday i get my job card in the morning and need to install a reverse camera on the same M3. get the job done- all goes well.
yesterday I see the M3 in the parking lot and think to myself hmm what doesn't work??????
had a bunch of software problems getting it all to work-- but ended up getting it together.
Well the the shop manager comes back to the shop and calls us all together-------
the owner of the M3 bought a few cases of American beer and a whole bunch of "American" soft batch monster cookies for the shop to split.-- for the Germans in the shop "I am the only non German"-chocolate chip cookies and American beer is something very different to get- and cool.
he just wanted to stop by and say thanks and that he was very happy with the work and wanted to show his appreciation.
So, what I wanted to say was, I actually thought was there wasn't such a thing as people like him. He made a whole lot of people think about him, and i am sure the next time the U.S. white M3 comes in for services it is going to be taken care of with a bit extra detail
