north branch minnesota: Want to receive Great customer service? - 06/17/18 08:30 PM
So you want to receive great customer service.
Well there is one thing you need to do.
We have all seen the person that has yelled at the person they are asking help from.
 
So here it is...
1. smile
2. nicely explain your situation.
3. be patient
4. DON'T YELL
5. Remember the store has policies.  (policies that can be stretched especially by supervisors AT TIMES).
6. Treat these people the way that you really want to be treated...ie;  Don't yell and swear at them if you don't want to be treated that way.
 
Remember, these people have rules the company have made and they need to follow them.
Put yourself in their shoes...

north branch minnesota: The Green Giant. - 10/15/17 06:28 PM
On a recent road trip we stopped in Blue Earth, Mn.
Green Giant still grows and packages their Peas and Corn.
The statue we erected as a tribute to the company by the businesses
of the town.
Besides the statue, they give tours of the plant also.
Although we were there on an off day, we have heard that this tour is well worth taking.
If you get the chance, stop by.  The Statue is right behind the Dairy Queen right on the main road
(169).  It is on the south side of town.
Well worth the hour or so.
 
It was a great sunny but not good for photo's.

north branch minnesota: I am in a squirrely mood. - 09/10/16 12:15 PM
Hey, it is Saturday and it has been a long day.
I was sent this funny and thought others may need a laugh...
 
A man is lying in a hospital bed and the nurse comes in...
"Nurse, are my testicle black?"
 
The nurse lifts the man's gown and takes his penis in one hand and his testicles in the other and says..."Sir they look just fine to me."
 
The man smiles and takes off the oxygen mask and says to her...
"I want to thank you for that, but listen very carefully...are-my-test-results-back?"
 
Some of us are just more lucky than others.

north branch minnesota: I had to walk to school...up hill both ways... - 01/18/15 01:23 PM
I heard many of the stories of my parents who had to walk to school.
The old country school was over a mile away and if you believe my dad they NEVER got a ride to or from school.
I do remember riding the school bus when gas got high and rationing hit in the early 70's.
But in today's world of cheap gas that would be a hard excuse to get passed.
So this story is not relevant any more...

north branch minnesota: North Branch Minnesota's unbearable heat. - 03/06/14 04:25 AM
That is right...North Branch Minnesota is under a heat wave.
WE broke the freezing point today and will again 6 of the next 7 days.
The water is starting to runand it won't be long before there won't be any empty ponds to hold it all.
With from 2-4+ feet on the ground, (depending on where you measure) we are hoping for a slow melt.  That is what we will have this week.
But for now it is back to T-Shirt only when splitting wood.

north branch minnesota: Minnesota...This is One time you SHOULD keep up with the Jones's. - 10/23/11 01:26 PM
I am not going to burden you with all kinds of information.
The writing IS on the wall.
Interest Rates are at an all time low.   Most renters can purchase a home for about half of what they are paying for rent.
Homes prices are at levels that are unlikely to be seen again!
If you are sitting on the fence...then you need to think about keeping up with the Jones's!!!
It will not happen over night.  It may not happen in 2-3 years, but values of homes are going to go up.  They are already in many local's.  No, not … (4 comments)
