Buckets&Bouquets

Bouquets to Anthony and company at Urgan Oasis Landscaping for an immaculate job, toiling away in the summer heat to transform our home. Thanks for being a top bloke with a can-do attitude.
Happy Family, Newtown

Bouquets to the honest person who returned my black handbag to the customer service area at Woolworths Highton two weeks ago. I am very grateful.
Gwen, Highton

Buckets to an elderly woman who goes to op shops and bullies people. Enough is enough.
Unhappy Customer, Norlane

Bouquets to Keith and his staff at the Peninsula Hotel for their wonderful job on an auction night on 21 February. We had a yummy meal and the staff was very attentive. A great night was had by all.
Wendy, Herne Hill

Bouquets to Peninsula Hotel licensee Keith for his efforts to make a charity fund-raiser such a great success. He was a great auctioneer and made our friends truly grateful.
Alan and Doug, Grovedale

Bouquets to the staff on the front counter at K-Mart Belmont. The girls went out of their way to help me when I couldn’t find aqua shoes for Splashdown. Buckets to other stores that said they couldn’t help and didn’t even try calling other branches.
Steve, Whittington

Bouquets to Pearls and Roses’ Karen. Her help, expertise and generosity were appreciated. Karen, you made my day.
Melissa, Winchelsea

Bouquets to workers at Market Square Shopping Centre and passers-by who offered help to my wife when she became unwell and required an ambulance.
John Caldow, East Geelong

Buckets to the arrogant couple behind We Know Who We Are (Buckets & Bouquets, 1 March), if they actually exist. Queue-jumping when others waited so patiently for so long is bad enough, bragging about it, or making light of others doing it, just confirms you are self-absorbed morons.
Don’t Care Who You Are, Newtown

Bouquets to House Waurn Ponds’ Suzi for exceptional customer service with a problem I had recently. Shopping would be a pleasure if more people were like Suzi.
Chris, Grovedale

Bouquets to a lovely elderly gentleman who helped me out of an embarrassing situation when I was short of change at a fruit shop last week. His kindness was greatly appreciated.
Short Of Change Walker, Geelong West

Bouquets to Greg, Rod and the team at South Pacific Pools & Spas for their old-fashioned, courteous, prompt and high-quality service. Their help fixing stuff-ups and general repairs and maintenance is greatly appreciated.
Nicci, Corio
