Anthony Dew had taken his four-month-old son shopping for Christmas gifts at the Macy’s store in Hyattsville, Maryland. When Jeremiah needed a fresh diaper, his dad went floor to floor and asked clerks for directions, but couldn’t access a changing table anywhere in the store.
Frustrated, Anthony walked out without buying anything and wrote a letter directly to Macy’s Chairman and CEO, Terry Lundgren.

That letter got a lot more attention than a crying baby could and showed how quickly a big company can respond to a single customer’s complaint.
When the Hyattsville store manager got a call from the boss’ office, he sprang into action.
“We put a team together and started work almost immediately,” Ufuoma Onosakponome told WTTG News.
