We live in the Lancaster area, so if anyone lives in this area, Hostetter's welcomes pets.
I don't mind a pet in a carrier next to me in a restaurant or a service dog. We actually tend to gravitate towards stores that welcome our little one - she lies in her carrier and you never hear a peep from her. |
Ooooh, I'm so there
whatever they sell, I'm buying something
Just a couple of weeks ago we went to a leather store in Monroe. We weren't planning on spending much, in fact we were talking about tightening our budgets in general because of times being hard.
We were so happy with the welcoming Nicky and Nini got from everyone at the store, that hb told me to buy myself something nice as a mother's day gift and hb's brother told his wife the same. So we splurged
We spent about $600 (combined) two pairs of boots, belts and cowboy hats. This past weekend we went back for the boys turn to splurge. I don't know what it is, but it does makes us want to spend some money when our babies are treated nicely
I studied marketing and I'm a sales person, I know what tactics are being used to get me to open the purse strings, yet I don't care, in fact, I encourage them to keep it up by opening my wallet
From a customer's point of view, I think it's sweet. From a sales person/marketer point of view----it's just good business
