Customers care less about my favorite details than I do

I improved a detail of our service because I thought it looked more professional. Almost nobody noticed.

Customers keep praising the boring things instead: fast replies and accurate pickup times. I work here every day, so apparently I have been grading a different exam.

    Fast replies win a lot more trust than a polished little detail no one asked for.

      That is exactly what keeps happening. I think something is obvious, and the customer just wants the order ready when I said it would be.

        People remember when you did what you said. The rest is just nice-to-have unless it breaks something.
