Kaitlyn Greene - Customer Support

Kaitlyn’s positive and friendly attitude made her an ideal candidate for District Lines’s customer support team. She will always go above and beyond to make sure our customers are satisfied.

When a dissatisfied customer unreasonably requested a cartoon giraffe be drawn on their package, Kaitlyn obliged. This subtle and successful act made the customer’s day and inevitably led to the company’s new philosophy on customer support:

“Always draw the giraffe.”
