Today 10-16-2023 at about 10:15 am i was at the gas station Shell gas station on N. Rolling rd in Catonsville, right across the street from Giant. Kindly enough they leave a air hose out so folks can get free air in their tires at any time.
Well, today as i was putting air in my tire, right outside the door of the service doors. A elderly lady ( easily in her 80s) with a real blue handi-cap plague hanging from her rear view mirror, pulls up, winds down he passenger side window and says to tech " good morning sir, can someone please help me with putting air in my tire". The service guy looks at her like was bothered and annoyed, yells our " the air hose is right there". I was in shock for a second. I lady smiles says "Thank you anyway" . She pulls up closer to me and asked the same thing. I replied with "absolutely ma'am, give me one second". I finished checking my last tire, then i went over to her window and said " im sorry they treated you that way "and she said " aww ...its ok, maybe he was busy and having a bad morning and besides God put you here for me, not him"
After i checked all her tires with my pressure gauge, she tried to give me money. I said absolutely not. As she pulled away apparently another gentleman saw what happened and seemed to be equally appalled.
Its time like this i feel really blessed .
At the end of the day maybe the tech was having bad morning. However, we gotta do better, sir.
The only reason i didn't go inside and make matters worse is because how sweet and forgiving that lady was.
Thank you Ma'am for the sweetest lesson. read more
