i gassed up this afternoon and there was a newbie gasoline boy at the station... someone was teaching him the ropes and my car was the training vehicle, hehe...
so this guy was teaching him how to open the hood... how to close it... how to check the oil, etc... ok... quite easily done...
then he cleaned my windshield, again under supervision... whoa! this one was a big surprise... i'm so used to these gasoline boys cleaning my windshield and they made it look so easy, as in, just one pass per area, and here was a newbie who had to make several passes to remove the soap and water completely... the supervisor was telling him his wrist should be like this... he should hold the squeegee a certain way... blah, blah, blah... wow! i haven't tried it myself but i didn't know 'squeegeeing' the windshield was a skill...
then he put air in my tires... wahaha... instead of inflating one, he was deflating it! the supervisor was not at all happy and looked really stern... the newbie seemed really nervous... through it all, i tried to put on my friendliest and most understanding face...
when he was done, i jokingly asked him, 'you sure my tires are ok? i'm not gonna go flat?'
he replied, 'no, ma'am...' -> without conviction, wahehe...
well, i gave him a generous tip...
he suddenly broke out into a really happy smile!
priceless...
