Thumbs up
Cupcake kindness
This lovely lady who I have never met, donated 40 cupcakes to my Pink rRbbon fundraiser last week. Her grandmother had had breast cancer. My mother and grandmother had breast cancer. Twenty-nine women were at my home and four of them were breast cancer survivors. Sogood to see the support. Thumbs up to Shahn Beverage of Shahn’s Cakes and Decorations who made 40 beautifully iced chocolate cupcakes for my Pink Ribbon breakfast last week and donated them to the cause, refusing to take any money for them, $1700 was raised for breast cancer.
Chocolate boost
Thumbs up to the lady who brought in the chocolate gateaux to the SPCA. As a volunteer who’d spent the morning making sure the cats and kittens were all fed, watered, cuddled and had clean quarters, it was a treat to sit down with a coffee and a piece of delicious cake. Very much appreciated.
Thumbs up to the staff at Pharmacy 81; friendly, smiling, happy ladies who consistently have the best customer service in Taupō.
Thumbs down
Inhospitable
Thumbs down to the hospitality businesses hiring young staff and leading them on and letting them down. It takes a lot of guts for a young person to get the courage to seek employment and put themselves out there, only to be knocked down. Our youth deserve more respect than this.
