windstar Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 copied from Gringos Ajijic I’m feeling sad for a member of the local community who makes his living working for us Northerners. He agreed to pick up a couple at Guad Airport this morning at 830am. He met their flight. He gave them an estimate in advance for the ride back to Lakeside. But their several cats’ papers were not in order and a vet was called to the airport. The local driver could have left and said “call me when your cats have been cleared and you can leave the airport.” But no. He’s a good guy and he stayed with them. 7 hours later at Lakeside they didn’t pay him for his time. Sometimes I’m ashamed to be a gringo. I hope that couple reads this and will feel ashamed of themselves. Yes, they had a rough, stressful begining in their new home but this was not the way to begin their new life here....stiffing a local. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
