    Default Thank-you notes.

    My mom always made sure we wrote thank-you notes. My oldest sister always makes a point of it, handwritten ones, so she keeps me on the straight and narrow.

    We just had a kitchen job done, new stove, hood, tiling where a dumb idea over the range microwave was. A local hauler took away the appliances.

    We got a handwritten thank-you note from the hauler expressing appreciation that they were in the garage and easily accessed. On top of that the contractor, not affiliated with the hauler, just sent a thank-you note for the kitchen job.

    They must be in league with my sister. Despite that they'll definitely be given a call for jobs down the road.

    Now that is a business you want to send others to. Good for them.

    We are a TYN household.
    I’m sure it’s gotten me at least one job offer, and I’ll not have my kids grow up thinking things are handed to them Willy-Nilly without their expressing gratitude.

    After 3 Christmases of sending presents to my nieces and nephews without a reply I finally had to set them straight.
    The 2020 thank you notes are now posted on the side of our fridge.

    At work, all the managers are required to send one card a week to recognize an employee. The card is white with the company logo on the front. I upped my game, the fiance is an artist, she took pages out of her sketchbook and cut them into 3X4" and glued them to cards. I put one of hers inside the company one with my comments on the inner card. It is an original work of art with a signature.
