Well, that was kind of nice of them... (Patreon)

Got a box in the mail, which was kind of a surprise. A 'surprise' because usually I know what's heading in, as it's something I've either already been talking to the customer and know it's on the way, or I'd ordered something and know about when it's due.

This came in, addressed to the shop, but from an atypical vendor.

Turns out it was a very nice gift basket from a local touristy type place called Alaska Wild Berry Products. Candies, smoked salmon, a summer sausage, some ground coffee, caramel corn, a hunk of smoked cheddar, etc.

And in with it was a card from my hosting company apologizing for the recent outage, and thanking me for my patronage.

I thought that was, in fact, actually kind of nice of them. I don't know if I was the only one to get one (they have a lot of corporate clients, I may be one of the few individual clients) or if they sent one to everyone affected, but either way, that was a nice thought.
