Island People Costume Distribution.

Blogger ~cb~ went to Island People for costume collection yesterday and the following is her account of the process, which by several reports so far has been a smooth operation:

Okay, so after rushing the fellas I was going with, because they were taking FOREVER, we reach to the Jean Pierre Complex around 12:15. As soon as we walked in, we were approached by this young fella who showed us which way to go and offered me further help by explaining what was what. I followed the guys to the cashier as one of them had to pay a balance and saw two other people waiting there in line while three others were being served (there was a cash only station available, so maybe to move faster you might wanna walk with cash instead of LINX).

As I walked into the cashier's room, I bounced up a friend of a friend who was upset because she was told that Frontline Kingfisher would not be distributed until Wednesday. So, one time I start to breathe hard , but I could not help but notice that everyone was extremely apologetic when they realized that I had just heard the news that my costume was not ready. That's a massive improvement from last year, so I did not make any noise. I handed my refund form to one of the Island People employees and continued with the guys to their collection.

Anyways, I went to the next side and again, lots of smiles and offers to direct us.

Like I said, Fastrak was empty, so the guys were sent to the Fastrak side, and since I was standing with a folder in my hand more offers to provide me with assistance. I said that I would have been Fastrak, but was only just told that I wouldn't collect until Wednesday. "Didn't you get a call?? We made calls to everyone. Are you an overseas masquerader?" I was then told that overseas masqueraders were omitted from this mass calling. BUT, to IP's credit, the young lady said it was her fault because she had delegated the responsibility to someone else, and didn't follow up. She then assured me that she would be there to hand me my costume on Wednesday, and continued apologizing for the duration of the guys' collection.

Shortly afterwards, the fellas were done, they signed their checklists and made their way to the "extras" stand and were about to leave me, when I told them that I was still waiting for my refund.

I went back to the Cashier's area and signed off that I'd collected my refund and all was good to go. Again, the smiles and apologies for my having to return. The entire process was really quick. I think my costume was the only one with a delay. I saw some Lions being collected. And, well the King Fisher males got the "okay" from the guys I was with. I left there within the half hour, but that's because I had to get the refund, but was moving back and forth between the Cashier's area and the Collection area. Even with having to pay a balance, for the guys it was no longer than 20 minutes total. I'm very impressed that IP made such a vast improvement. Cheers to them. Now, that was for lunch time. I guess the true test is when you try to collect at 5:00pm...
