Shopping Local

Dear Editor,

I would like to thank the Downtown Businesses for "Alive at Five" on Wednesday, July 15, 2020. It is a great way to promote our Glasgow businesses.

I looked forward to spending some hard-earned money to support local businesses that day. Listening to an advertisement on KLTZ, I found out that an item that I was interested in was available at a downtown business. My "shopping experience" was less than favorable. I was not greeted when entering the store. In fact, I thought no one was even there, as there were no other customers. When I asked about the item, the response was "it is over there." When I was finally helped and had looked the item over, I did make my purchase and I am glad that I did. However, most disappointing was that I was not even thanked for the purchase or for even shopping locally.

I believe in shopping locally. But I also believe that businesses should appreciate the people in this area shopping locally. We have so many other alternatives to choose from. A simple thank you would have been appreciated.

Sincerely,

Kim Enkerud

Glasgow, Mont.
