1 year old Blanket

Oh man, good story. So LAST November, I took a blanket to this dry cleaner by my apt. I waited for a phone call to tell me it was done, and it never came...or so I thought. I came to the town office one day and they told me that the owner had called me, been to my house and finally had called them to find out if they knew who I was. I can’t believe he called the town office to find me, that’s either the best customer service EVER or really creepy. Considering that this is Japan, and the post office man came to my house last year to deliver like 800 yen ($8) in change and a free towel to me, I would say it’s just Japanese customer service. Anyhow, he said I could come get the blanket whenever. I took whenever to mean literally, whenever. I was really sick ALOT last year if you remember. I mean really sick, like I came home and didn’t want to move, I was so frozen. Anyhow, so a couple weeks past, and then a month past and then I was too embarrassed to go get it. I mean, what if he already threw it away, and then I couldn’t communicate, then I would have to call the town office to tell them I waited a month to get my blanket. Then, another month passed and I dreaded going near the place because I was afraid he would find me and make me take my blanket home and it was too embarrassing. So I eventually forgot about it within the year and hoped they would too. A couple weeks ago, he came to the town office and said he STILL has my blanket and wanted to know if I was cold and if I wanted it. I was like OMG I cannot believe he kept my blanket for a year!!! WHAT!? I went and got it from the store just in time for my friend Sarah’s visit this December. The plastic was dusty and a little torn, but the blanket was perfect! I would definitely have to say that Japan’s customer service is unparalleled.
