when I was in airport services department, I've commanded by my supervisor to assist a grandma from check-in counter, immigration until boarding gate. and this is when the story begin.
I brought her baggage, not too heavy, and I'm happy for that. ;p but then my suffer begun. in duty free shop, she bought 4 (read: FOUR) bottles of WINE which is I must to lied to clerks that those wine are for my friend (passenger only allowed buy 1 bottle).
then, I brought two suitcases (two bottles of wine each) which is very heavy! and I took her into Airport Lounge until boarding time. the lounge is upstairs, so first move I brought those suitcases, putted it. gone down, took her baggage and helped her to go upstairs.
in airport lounge, I gave her meal and drink while she watching gossip on TV (maigod!). and she wanted me to teared out one page of magazine because there was her neighbor's photo and want to bring it! and FYI, grandma going to MACAU, for GAMBLING to six time. you're ROCK grandma!!
after few minutes, there was announcement that boarding gate has opened, and do you know what?? Grandma was in restroom and she had stomachache! oh my, fifteen minutes left to take off, with her lack ability to walk, and the distance from lounge into boarding gate, I guess that time grandma will lost the flight.
finally, 10 minutes before take off, I took her into boarding gate and on the way to, she put some tips into my pocket. I didn't see it clearly, but I saw it a dollars. :p
and at boarding gate, we separated and she said good bye and hope will meet me again someday. yeah someday grandma! :)
when I was in restroom, lookin for my phone, I found something in my pocket, two sheets of paper and I guess before it would be $20 hehe. then I opened the folds....... there was only.....
TWO BUCKS. hahahahaha
I laughed loudly. I was surprised that grandma gives me tips, because I think that's my job, and I want to help. but if grandma gave me that should be a gift! ;p
The point is, I'm happy met this FUNKY ROCK GRANDMA, I don't care with the nominal of money she gave to me, I'll keep this all my life. and when I see this money again, I will LAUGH and remember you grandma..◕‿◕
