I (heart) Rob & Patrick @ Taboo

Drazzil · 02-23-2009, 05:50 PM

So. I go to place an order at Taboo Cigars on friday, I've placed a few orders, but I'm not what you would call a heavy customer. I place an order on friday. I get laid off the same day.

I call Patrick at Taboo and ask if he can hold the package, and that I get laid off. He says call me back and I will see what I can do. I call back later and they catch it at the post office. We shoot the **** for a little while and I thank him for catching the package.

Today I get this:

In this:

I call Patrick and tell him, "Dude, you weren't able to catch the package?"

He says

"Is it long and rectangular?"

I say

"Yeah"

Patrick says

"Yeah thats just a little something me and Rob sent you, a free sampler ten pack"

Needless to say I was speechless, and babbling, and trying to keep track of two conversations at once. I had to let go of Patrick to talk to financial aid at my school, but *DAMN*

I am going to have to spend a lot more money at Taboo when I have it

They are great guys!

That's one of the most impressive examples of customer care I've ever heard of. Thanks for letting us know so we can show them that a small act of generosity will pay off for them fifty-fold.
