Ok
I think the reason for this is because in small town Florida a job at Walmart or Home Depot is probably about as good as it gets. These folks depend on those jobs so they try harder. I'm not putting them down in any way. They know that good customer service is their bread and butter. I really respect that. Even in Miami I've noticed that the service has gotten better at Home Depot in recent years.And as far as those comments about the south and Florida I'm not sure exactly what areas are being commented on but I frequent the treasure coast quite often which is about 45 minutes north of West Palm Beach. The customer service in the Home Depot and Lowe's there is far superior to what you get in Long Island NY. In NY it's difficult to even find someone to help you out more or less deal with their attitude in Florida there usually waiting at the front door with a big smile and friendly greeting and then willing to personally escort you over the entire store to help with your needs. And don't even get me started on the difference with the supermarkets.
I lived most of my life in NY and love all that it has to offer but when it comes to shopping the customer service in the area of Florida I frequent makes for a much more pleasant shopping experience.
