stacky··on The Woman Behind Two Men and a Truck
Great read. I particularly enjoyed her advice:

> Make it right. The standard reimbursement for moving breakages used to be 6¢ a pound. If we broke a 10-pound ­table, we’d be liable for 60¢, but that’s not right. So we used to give an “I’m sorry” box to customers, with a coffee mug and gift certificate in it, along with fixing whatever we broke. It made a big difference.

I believe UT Austin has been doing this for a while in an official capacity, as an offered course for undergraduate students. I'm not sure of any major success stories from their program. Their program is called 1 Semester Startup.
