Best of the Best of the Best

We absolutely, without question, have the best garbage dude in the world!  I think I should call him the "waste management person" or something a little more P.C. but we will roll with Garbage Dude.

You may be asking yourself, "What makes Garbage Dude so good?"

- "Does he lift every can by hand?"

- "Does he give you a Christmas card?"

- "Is it his love of Dokken, Ratt and other 80' rock bands that use two of the same letters in their name?"

- "Does he wave and smile?"

- "Does he know your name?"

- "Does he play 80's music from the cab of truck?"

- "Does he look like someone famous?"

- "Does he have a Jesus fish on the truck?"

- "Does he hand wash and sanitize every can?"

- "Does he have Magnum P.I.'s mustache, McGyver's mullet, Mr. T's chains and Matlock's body?"

All excellent questions, but all are answered with no.

Here it is... Our neighborhood looks better after he comes through.  It is not huge, and I don't know if anyone else even notices.  But he has this certain way of leaving the cans that just looks so good.  When he is off and another team member comes through, you can tell, it just doesn't look the same.  I have watched him and others and he is just as fast, but the one detail of leaving the can lined up with the street just takes the cake.  That one simple detail tells me he takes pride in the way he leaves the cans.  Such a simple thing that makes a huge difference. 

It leaves me thinking what tiny, seemingly insignificant thing can I do that can radically change a persons experience.  Whether a conversation with me or their experience at LATR.  I grabbed a couple pictures today to show you what I mean. 

 

*** ONE CAN?

*** NOPE, TWELVE!!
