We’ve just come out of the busiest shopping season of the year.

If you were in stores buying gifts during the holidays, you might have run into unpleasant experiences, such as long lines, out-of-stock merchandise or bad customer service.

Maybe, on the other hand, you had a positive experience, visiting a store where the sales associates went out of their way to make you happy. Perhaps a friendly postal worker helped you make sure your packages arrived on time.

What kind of customer service did you encounter this season? Tell us in the comments section and participate in our poll to share your overall experience.
