“I came here to use the bathroom while on a roadtrip and ended up getting a few snacks for the road. To the man who was working there on the 24th of July, between 5pm and 6pm, I don’t know what your name is but I just wanted to say thank you, you’re incredibly nice and generous. I really didn’t expect such kindness and generosity from anyone in this country, and this region… so this was a really nice surprise. You made my day! I wish you all the best :)”
