Can I Take A Moment To Thank Pemberducky?

Sep 23, 2012 10:58 PM

So last week I posted a question asking for help in finding a Fat Unicorn shirt. I mentioned it was for a friend who has had some really tough breaks lately. Like really tough. We were talking and I showed her the Fat Unicorn shirt she thought it was the greatest thing ever. So I asked if anyone could help me find one. Several people offered some excellent suggestions.
Friday night when I got home there was a Woot Envelope at my front door with a Fat Unicorn shirt in it!! Seriously!!
I caught @ADQ on DWChat that night and she spilled the beans that it was @Pemberducky.

I gave my friend the shirt last night and she was speechless. All night long she was showing it everyone she could and couldn't stop thanking me. She had a smile on her face like I haven't seen in a while now. She also said it's now her favorite shirt ever. :)
Thank you folks for showing why Woot has the best people ever. And thank you for helping make my friends day a little brighter when she really needed it.

Oh, and I did make damn sure she knew exactly how and why she has that. No way I was taking that credit for that - it was all you folks at Woot. Think it's safe to say you also have a new customer now!

It's things like this that gives me hope for Woot! It may have changed over the years (much for the worse it seems), but every now and then something like this happens and it's a +1 to Woot.

@pemberducky: that was a very considerate gesture. While I may have my issues with wOOt of late. It is the actions like this from the deals.woot staff that keeps me coming back in to this site. Karma points to you.

@pinchecat: Because I'd like to do it publicly. Pemberducky deserves some props for doing that completely without prompting or asking. And Woot deserves some props for empowering staff to be able to do things like that. While my guess is that neither PB or Woot did it for the press as there was no note, name or other notification about it I think they deserve it. It's a small item sure but it still shows they are active, paying attention and give a box of craps.

@woot & its employees are so awesome, you should be able to eat them with a spoon!

More good humans are needed in this world. Nice to know @pemberducky is one of them xoxo

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
