Thank You Azman

We were off to shop for MIL's sneakers at Vivo City after dinner. We tried the usual brand's and ended up at B.I.R.D. where a smiley Azman had said hi when we got into the store.

Fata tried a pair of shoes, it was a little too large and there were no other sizes. We spotted a second pair of shoes, Azman offered the size we'd asked for and a half size larger just in case, but the second pair just didn't look right. On to a third pair of shoes, and Azman's third trip into the storeroom. This time, the size we'd needed was not available.

Then it was my turn. I liked that second pair Fata had tried on, I was walking around with a foot in the shoe and a foot in just my sock... I decided to ask for a smaller size. Another trip into the storeroom - sorry a smaller size was not available. The lack of size was not daunting, we were going to take the size that was on display. Yet another trip into the store and quite a few minutes later, a sheepish Azman re-appeared apologizing for not being able to locate the other shoe. A "defect"... oh well... maybe it was just not meant to be...

Off we went to pay for Allan's shoes, the store was closing at this point. As we turned to walk out of the store, Azman conjures up a brand new pair of the shoes I'd wanted (albeit in the display size)! Yippee! We were happy shoppers! He must have made made a sixth trip into that storeroom and found it.

A special thank you to Azman, a sales associate at the B.I.R.D. store at Vivo City. He was very patient, very helpful with useful shoe care tips and he made us feel so welcomed we were glad we met him this evening.

Kumxia! :-)
