Ken and I go out of our way to shop at the Ace Hardware store in Satler. The store is large, especially for such a small town, and it has everything a person could want in a modern hardware store. We buy products in that store that we could purchase in Kerrville or Fredericksburg but we shop in Satler because of the service. The people are wonderful.
Today we went to check out the hoses and splitters. We had no intention of buying as we have not yet determined how many we need but we went specially to check prices and quality. When we walked in the door, a working person at the front asked if we needed help as Ken and I had a discussion about whether or not I needed to hear the hose information. Immediately, we told the lady that we were not buying but a man came up and took Ken to the department and gave him a short course in hoses, which is exactly what he needed.
I was on my own, looking for chalk. Also we had been given a $10. discount card in the mail, whose date expired in our absence. When I asked about the card, they assured me that they would honor it, as they know that people in Canyon Lake are not always there. "Very nice", said I.
It is the small things in life that give the greatest pleasure and it is certainly true about the Ace Hardware store in Satler. They try hard to be better, and it shows.
