It was a Monday evening, a school night. It had been a long day at work and all I wanted was one specific beverage: a pear cider made from 100% pears. I went to Giant Eagle: no dice and more importantly, no pear cider. I checked in with the local bevvy mart down the road. Did they have pear cider? Yes. Was it made from 100% pears? The woman behind the counter ran up and down the aisles for several minutes before announcing, "33% pear." What an utter horror show. She didn't even bother to share what made up the other 66 (ish) percent. Now, I am from England and I don't like driving extravagant distances so the thought of a road trip from Macedonia to Independence weighed on me heavily. Regardless, I committed to the mission and headed off to Independence Beverage. I had no idea if they could help me nor did I have the foresight to call them and ask about their pear-based inventory. After several long minutes and at least four turns, I arrived. I approached the counter and got to the point. "Give it to me straight!" I was about to clarify my request but was quickly asked, "like pear cider?" You could have knocked me down with a poorly constructed, baseless rumor. "Made from 100 pears?" I inquired? I don't remember the answer but I do remember becoming a loyal customer. The best pear-related customer service any of us could hope for. Recommended.
