Editor’s note ‘Totally’ satisfied?


If you’re like me, you’ve been invited to fill out a survey for everything from the pastry you just bought (“We listen!”) to the book you ordered online (“Let us know what you think!”). And if you’re like me, you rarely


take time for a survey, no matter what’s offered in return. But there are occasions when


I’ll make the time. For example, early on a recent snowy Saturday morning at Auto Tech Plaza, a AAA-approved repair facility in Colorado Springs, the staff treated everyone—me, the woman who needed windshield wipers and the bilingual couple that wasn’t quite sure what was wrong with their car—with warmth, good cheer and integrity.

Maybe you’re not in the mood to answer the survey you’ll receive after a road- side event (after all, your car just broke down and you missed work/ school/job interview/dinner date).

But if you’re willing, and the roadside staff does something extra special, something that’s important to you, please mark your survey “totally satisfied.” It’s one way to let all of us know we’re all headed the right direction.
