Top Notch Burgers-Nanaimo

Yesterday, after running a few errands, Don thought going to the Top Notch Restaurant for a burger was a good idea. Guess what? It was better than that.

When we got there, it was packed with the exception of one table with only one server to handle it all. Kim was our server. This means she takes your order, get your beverages, serves your choice of  meal, takes your payment and then cleans up after the customers leave. It is a big deal for one person.

Don and I shared a burger and fries, ordered a coffee and pepsi and waited for it to come out. The burger was awesome and the fries even better. there was just one drawback. When we ordered the burger, we requested no onions. Okay, no big deal BUT the cook put green onions all over the fries. To me, that was disgusting. The smell almost did me in. I gave them all to Don and even he left them on the plate.

Please understand, when someone requests no to an ingredient it is either because of an allergy or total dislike.

We will go back because their burgers are top notch, hence the name of the establishment.

Home Depot – Nanaimo

Home Depot has always been “my toy store”. They have almost everything you need to put your house in order. Yesterday we went in as Don was looking for a couple of things, and me? I just wanted to walk around and see what was new.

The minute we walked through the doors, we were greeted with a beautiful smile and a gentleman asking if he could help us. Wow! I thought. Then every aisle we walked down or in a department where I would just look at things, we were asked by staff all with a big smile and may I help you on their lips.

I cannot recall ever being in a retail store the past few years where customer service seems to be front and foremost. Not one worker had a glum look or scowl on their face. Funny thing, when I think about it, it was another Home Depot Store in Osoyoos that was just like this one with great staff and even greater selections.

When we were paying for our purchases, we were asked if we wished to donate for a homeless youth charity. Don did and then with a big smile, once again, we were given a plant as a thank you.

Home Depot – you deserve an award for awesome staff, clean store and lots of choices for people like us to pick from. Yup! It still is my favourite toy store.
