Ever heard of the chain store DavidsTea?
Really cute, blue, has tons of teas and
hundreds of stores throughout the United States and Canada?
Well, after opening a location in
Burlington, VT, just up the street from where I work, I finally decided to try
the place out.
The store had initially caught my eye the
few weeks before it opened, sporting a giant sign on the front saying,
"Hey Ben, hey Jerry! Have you heard of David?" an instant call for
competition, considering it opened up two stores down from the Ben &
Jerry's on the corner of Cherry Street.
However, I hadn't taken much thought in
actually trying out the store myself; that is, until two DavidsTea employees
strolled into the Bath & Body Works where I work with a goodie bag for all
of us employees, filled with candy canes, small chocolates, and a coupon in the
shape of a Christmas stocking for a free cup of tea.
Sporting matching bright blue parkas and
DavidsTea beanies, the two employees were so cheerful and welcoming in
presenting us with the bag of goodies. They spoke so highly of the new store
that had just opened up down the street and when I complimented them on their
parkas (which were absolutely adorable) one of them replied, "Thanks! The
company got each of us employees one!"
A company that cares about their employees
and shows great customer service even when I'm not in the store? Yeah,
sold.
Needless to say, a cup of tea and a purchase
of 2 mugs for $24 later (hey, it was a BOGO deal that I just couldn't pass up),
I can officially say I have jumped onto the DavidsTea bandwagon and it feels
amazing! *takes sip from my new mug*
