Luv ko 'to..

I treated my four yr old cousin Rita to a Happy Meal at McDonald’s-Centroplex yesterday. Seconds after I laid down our food at the table, she told me that she wanted to pee. So I asked the crew if they have a comfort room within the store. Alas, she said “None.” The only toilets are at the 2nd floor of the mall. So I told Rita if she can control it until we finish eating. I can’t just leave our food with no one to attend to it, although I know that she will not be able to enjoy her food with a (very) full bladder.


The sun was setting down such that its rays hit our table directly. Two of the crew members approached us to ask whether we want to transfer to another table. I told them to wait a minute since I’m thinking of whether to have the food wrapped to be brought home (she just wanted the toy that went along with the meal) since Rita wanted to pee and I can not let her go to the comfort room alone (talk about sending her to get lost in the mall filled with holiday shoppers!) and I can’t just leave our food. The former sounds to be the best alternative. One of them, who looks like their Head Crew, told the other to accompany Rita to the comfort room at the second floor!! I can’t believe my ears! So I asked them “Are you sure?? Is it really okay with you?” And both of them said “Yes, its okay.” Smiling, the female crewmember took Rita’s hand and off they went to the toilet. My, I’m so thankful for them. McDo’s-Centroplex crew members know how to treat their customers. So far, this is the best reason why I can say LUV ko to….
