BTw while we on the topic of piarco, is it considered "bad form' to tip the gate agents? I flew in for Thanksgiving to get the son and the daughter was with me. So all three of us flying back home, Kidlet #1 is 5 yrs and kidlet #2 is 3 years old. Passing duty free, pick up some Vat19, they say they will bring it to the gate for me. Get to boarding gate. Now we had a lil problem because we bought sons ticket after bought mine and daughters. His was only a one way. The ticket agent downstairs tell me computer put son to sit in row 13 and me and daughter in row 22. Said they cant fix it, get boarding agent to fix it upstairs. Gone upstairs, boarding agent, lady more interested in talking to friend than to help me. Tell her problem, she tell me is so computer make it, is so it have to stay. Eplain that son is 5 years old and shouldnt be 9 rows away lady cant be bothered to try to help, she turn away and continue her conversation. Another agent passing by, nice young man, ask me what the problem is. I tell him. He check the computer, pull up the other passengers in the two rows and ask them who willing to switch. Fella sitting with me and my daughter say he'll take son's seat so all good. Ticket agent say to me, ma'am you have 2 little ones, let me take you on board now, He take my stroller and carry on, I take two kidlets. He take us on board, pack stroller and carry on away, and then I remember I have alcohol coming. He take boarding pass and receipt, come back few minutes later while plane boarding and pack rum away. I was so greatful given his co-worker's nasty attitude, I gave him all the cash I had as a tip. Not much just about 40us. But i find he went above and beyond the call of duty. And when someone do right by me, I try to show appreciation. Lady sitting nearby telling me it wrong to tip them. I say no cause he did a good thing, and he was about 23-24 and his coworker old enuff to be my mom. So was I wrong to tip him, given what he did for me? I see enough young people, both here and at home who working and you could tell that they dont want to be there. This young man was smiling and pleasant.
