🌟 Celebrating Exceptional Customer Service! 🌟 We are delighted to announce our latest Customer Service Award winner! 🏆 Every quarter, we honor an employee who consistently goes above and beyond, receiving glowing reviews and surveys from our valued customers. Unlike the Rockstar Award, which is based on peer nominations, the Customer Service Award is a testament to our team members’ direct impact on customer satisfaction. This quarter, the spotlight shines on Alicia Gonzalez, a sales associate at our Shoppes at Bayshore location in TPA. Alicia’s dedication to outstanding service and her warm, welcoming approach have made her a favorite among customers. Recently, a traveler was so impressed that they shared a wonderful review and a great picture of her on the TPA social media page! Congratulations to Alicia for being a true ambassador of exceptional service! 🎉 Your commitment helps us uphold our mission as an airport concessionaire to provide the highest level of customer experience. #CustomerServiceExcellence #EmployeeRecognition #ExceptionalService #FlyTPA
