The recognized companies that have reached this level should be congratulated for their commitment to excellence. They have worked hard at being what their customer wants. Their staff have worked hard at making their store a friendly environment, a pleasant place to shop, a store where customers feel valued when they leave the store. They should celebrate their accomplishments.
