Check out these 25 spots in Rochester that were nominated as having the best customer service!

Have you ever had a moment when you were in a checkout lane and you were basically on your last little bit of patience with your kids.  Everything can either go downhill fast and kids could start having meltdowns right there in the checkout aisle for the entire world to hear or they could be complete angels.  The cashier helping you out realize your kids are teetering on disaster and as she is helping you, she somehow makes them feel like a million bucks as she talks to them about their favorite movies.  The threat of tantrums has now disappeared and you realize this cashier deserves a raise...or at least a happy Google review.
