This cartoon displays a very soothing scene. An old lady bought some stuff from a conveniencestore, and just at the moment when she was aboutto leave, the store keeper ran out to her because shehad paid an extra two yuan. Though that is not a bigamount of money, I believe the old lady must begreatly impressed by the keeper’s honesty.
It is without doubt that the cartoon aims at addressing a serious problem prevailing intoday’s society, that is, the lack honesty in the field of business. For instance, manybusinessmen are so obsessed with making profit that they simply forget that they aresupposed to serve the people with best products and services. Therefore, there emerge fakeproducts, cheating services and unfulfilled promises. In contrast, the kind-hearted keeper ofthis drawing practices honesty in every detail of her work. Her attitude gives customer thesense that her product and service are of first-class quality, which would guarantee her morecustomersand credit.
The store keeper’s practice is exactly what we should advocate among all businesses. Thatis because, honesty not only renders clients temporary satisfaction, but can also build long-term customer trust. The latter is one of the key factors for market expansion and businesssuccess.
