Praise for traffic warden
This was sent to the Bermuda Police and copied to The Royal GazetteOctober 26, 2011Dear Sir,I would like to commend a member of your staff whom I believe to be Ms Donnette Daniels one of the Hamilton traffic ladies. Please allow me to recount my experience.A couple of weeks ago I had business in the lower post office on Parliament Street. After parking, I noticed I did not have any valid parking vouchers available. As fate would have it Ms Daniels was directly across the street from me. I figured I would only be a couple of minutes and fearing the worst decided to beg her understanding.So I called out to her explaining my plight, she explained that I needed a voucher displayed to park. Taking another try I asked for favour explaining I would only be two minutes or so but she again politely said that she had a job to do and once offering one favour would mean she would be looking to offer everyone a favour. OK, point to Ms Daniels, I thought. She did advise me that I could purchase vouchers in the upper post office which I went to do as it was clear she was not going to relent in my case.I have to say I was impressed by her professional manner and how serious she took her duties. Above all else I was impressed by her polite, helpful and courteous manner as it is by far the best experience I have had with any of the ticket ladies to date who at times are curt, abrasive and sometimes plain rude.I trust you will pass on my regards and encouragement to Ms Daniels to keep up the good work.FLOYD PITCHERSt George’s
