I thanked him profusely and gave him the gift card. By the time he was done, he was soaking wet. He loaded all of our thing for us and dropped us right as at our front door, insisting that I run ahead and get the kids inside while he brought everything onto our porch. It was still storming when we left, so we met the bus. It’s only up the road, and you can’t walk in this weather.”Īfter thanking him again, we went and got drinks at a coffee shop where I picked up a gift card. Shuttle Driver: “You and your kids are always really friendly and polite. Why don’t we grab a drink and see if it passes? If not, we might take you up on that.” Shuttle Driver: “I’ll be back here in half an hour and then I’m going on break. Hopefully it passes soon, or my husband can pick us up later.” We might go and get a drink and see if it passes before walking home.” It is so bad that it is hailing sideways and pouring rain, with really strong winds and thunder and lightning. Today, we have just gotten off the bus when a bad storm hits. I don’t drive due to medical reasons, but since we live within walking distance we often use the service. This shopping centre is so big that they run free shuttle buses between different entrances and carparks. It’s three days before Christmas and I’m picking up last-minute gifts and food at a huge shopping centre with my three kids aged fourteen, eight, and two.
