Some of the Nordstrom stories I’ve read are extraordinary…

“Here’s one notable, but not atypical, example of a heroic. A customer, who was about to catch a flight at Seattle-Tacoma Airport, inadvertently left her airline ticket on a counter in one of Nordstrom’s women’s apparel departments. Discovering the ticket, her Nordstrom sales associate immediately phoned the airline and asked the service representative if she could track down the customer at the airport and write her another ticket. No, she could not. So the Nordstrom salesperson jumped into a cab, rode out to the airport (at her own expense), located the customer, and delivered the ticket herself. (Nordstrom later reimbursed her for the cab fare.)”
