Laura Randolph and her husband had reached out to WUSA9's Call for Action team after receiving an incorrect piece of jewelry from their local retailer.  When the Randolphs approached the other jeweler for service, they found themselves turned away and went to WUSA9 to rectify the situation. 

According to Jonathan Mervis, "We are a family business and I've always been taught by family to do the right thing. In this situation, Laura wasn't our customer, but everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. I'm sure the other retailer wasn't malicious with the mistake, but here was the opportunity to make it up to the customer."

WUSA9 invited Laura back on air on May 9th, but little did she know that there was a surprise waiting for her.  Mid-interview, Jonathan Mervis of Mervis Diamond Importers walked onto the set with a stunning bouquet of flowers and a $1,000 gift card to spend on Mother's Day.

"Customer service isn't just an important element of our business—it's our entire business. Couples come to us to celebrate life's events and it is our singular responsibility to help enhance that joy.  It was our pleasure to have that opportunity to give Laura and her family that moment," said Jonathan Mervis.
