My mother, after a good handful of years not renewing her personal dining collection, decided to bring me along on a trip over to Crate & Barrel at Stanford Shopping Center. Immediately, my mother found six "1-item-selections" from a collection thinking that the store could take care of handling the rest of the pickings from her six 1-item choosings. I did not quite realize what her plan was, but helped to carry these six items to the register.
Upon meeting with Christine, we were met with genuine respect, understanding, and pure patience. My mother explained that she actually wanted an assortment of 6-8 pieces of EACH of the 6 items she chose. Sure enough, wonderful Christine, readily came over and helped us carry the rest of the pieces to the register. Not just that, but she carefully placed each one in respective paper wrapping(s) and into their boxes for ease of transportation back home. I want to thank Christine so much for being as kind and respectful, let alone genuinely patient, for helping my mother navigate the buying of these items. Christine is the one true example why I believe department stores nowadays still exist and will be able to if they employ people like her. People do not want to deal with unnecessary barriers like impatience and inability to empathize in fleeting situations, which makes it difficult for older adults or large families to go out. It just makes it that much more difficult.
CHRISTINE, WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH AND WILL RETURN TO CRATE & BARREL STANFORD SHOPPING CENTER AGAIN BECAUSE OF YOU. I will make sure that next time we pre-plan our visit so that we know what we want. :D
If you have not visited this store's location, do not hesitate to. Everyone there seemed to work so nice together, but I thank Christine so much for everything she contributes to this location.
