Example: I went in to pick out a new pair of running shoes even though I couldn't buy them for a few more weeks. The employee helped me determine what types of shoes would be best and even helped me find quality shoes for a low price. He made sure the fit was correct and that I would be comfortable running, which was a concern returning from an ankle stress fracture.\n\nUpdated: went back in to actually buy the shoes I picked out and everyone was so helpful again! They made sure I got the right size and fit since I was in between sizes and assured me that if I tried them out and don't like them right away I can bring them back!

Example: I rented a mini-van through ACE rental in Las Vegas.  I called the day before arrival to confirm that the mini-van would be available and was told it would be.  Upon arrival, We were told that they had no mini-vans and that we would have to take a full-sized delivery van and that there should be a mini-van the next day.  The van was so big, we had to take a step stool with us to get the passengers in the back seats. Also, this full sized van wouldn't even fit in the parking structure of our hotel.  We had to pay for valet to have it parked elsewhere.  I called the next morning, still seeking my mini-van and again ws told there was none but one \""might be available\"" in the afternoon.  At that point, I told them I was bringing back the van and want to terminate the contract.  When we returned the van, they did cancel the contract but still charged us for the 2st day rental, even though we were given something we did not want and had to take time from our vacation to make the trip back to the airport.  Then we had to walk across the street to the \""name braned\"" car rental agencies and rent a vehicle like  what we wanted in the first place from ACE!  I should have known it was a risky venture going with ACE when all the major rental agencies were in a nice new building just a shuttle ride from the airport and this rental agency was in a dank little yellow house - across a major street from where the shuttle dropped us off.  Sometimes getting the best price is not the best deal!

Example: As a new yorker I was a little concerned that this would be a hipster magnet with all the attitude and ennui to match (call during off hours, the vmail is hilarious), but it seems montreal raises its hipsters a little different than we do. the service is by far some of the best and most attentive i've ever known. The people aren't polite, they are authentically pleasant. \n\nSaimi, our waitress, looked like she stepped out of one of those D&G ads for light blue, which i assumed would mean attitude galore. But her demeanor was so freaking awesome, she eventually picked out our menu for the evening and put us onto Olive & Gourmando for brunch the next day (a super awesome choice) as well as recommendations for nuit blanche, which we were visiting for anyway.\n\nThe host, equally awesome, his name escapes me, served us drinks and was super accommodating. I wouldn't say the place is good for kids, but they didn't turn their nose up once to us having our seven year old in tow, the opposite is usually true.\n\nThe food was good. The menus are on the wall and change constantly. I gave up early and simply asked for recommendations, and every dish was enjoyed. \n\nAgain, they serve a solid menu, offer a strong wine selection but the service was the stand out, and was simply excellent, and that's saying a lot.

Example: So, one of my favorite hangover foods when I lived in Virginia Beach was a place called Philadelphia Cold Cuts.  Their cheesesteak was amazing and could even rival one from philly....but not quite there.\n\nSo after moving to Madison I sought out a place that could attempt to be a vice for those not so fast days and I found one.  Are they the best cheesesteak I ever had?   Nope but they are THE BEST cheesesteak you can get in Madison without a doubt.\n\nThe staff is friendly and try the Philly Egg Rolls because they are awesome!   Fries.....ehhhh...not the best but whatever.   Big Red's Steaks get a top honors from me with one big exception....YOUR CLOSED ON SUNDAY!   Come on...Sunday is when I generally need my fix.

Example: I used to shop there frequently. I usually found what I needed. The prices were competitive and the employees were helpful. \n\nLately however (probably 4 visits in the last year) I have left annoyed by the service. The employees are rude and unfriendly. \n\nI will try again in another year or so and allow turnover to, hopefully, bring in some friendly and courteous employees.

Example: i am a fan of starbucks.  i really, really am.  i'm a gold member.  it's THAT serious.  however... this starbucks... consistently makes about the weakest drinks ever.  i have never had a latte that tastes more like milk than coffee with the exception of this store.  i will drive out of my way to go to another store just to avoid the weak coffee here.  \n\nalso, the staff is hit or miss.  mostly miss.  there are some nice ladies who work in the mornings when i come through... but there are a couple who have no idea what they are doing and don't make any apologies for it.  i have had more than a few messed up drink orders here, and that sucks because i've become accustomed to starbucks just \""getting it right\""... that i don't usually notice it's wrong until i've driven away.  \n\nand forget going in for a coffee.  the parking lot was designed by someone with no concept of space and flow.  parking on a crazy incline?  backing right into the exiting drive through lanes?  i have no idea how people in wheelchairs would navigate this parking lot.  \n\nlameness, urbana starbucks.  laaaaaame.

What is the classification for the passage below?
It's a tradition for us to stop here to pick up a large margarita for my girl. We take it to go. It's $20 bucks but it's well worth it. Just so you know if you save the large container and return, the refills are $14.
