Pay it forward #4

So last night at work, these three random ladies came into work. They had just been travelling around NZ before they head back to Australia. They had come back for their nanny's tangi. So they thought they would go home the long way round. When they got to Kihikihi they saw our sign that says "Cold Beer Here", so they thought "oohh yumm" and called in. They had one handle and decided that they were going to find them some accommodation and stay for a drink. They thought it was a nice little quiet pub and felt really comfortable there. So being a Tuesday we close up at around 6:45pm, then im usually out the door at 7pm. But last night I thought id stay open just that little bit longer for them. They seemed to be having a good time. Closer to the time they had to leave because I was closing up, I offered them a ride to their motel, but they refused as it was only down the road. They brought them a crate of beer, and were off. So I thought. I finished up and locked up and they were outside taking selfies with their crate. Living in Australia I dont think they get them there. So again I offered them a ride to get them some dinner from the fish & chip shop and back to the motel. They said no, and I asked if they were sure. So they decided to take up my offer. They were a funny lot of ladies. Drunken talking and laughing and telling me their stories. I didnt even know their name, and one lady said to me, "haha we dont even know your name?" so I told them "oh my name is Jojo". Anyway they got their kai and I took them back to their motel. They invited me in for some kai. So I stayed for a few minutes then left.

They flew back to Australia today, but they seemed to have a good night. Having their little 'sister' time before they headed home. So my pay it forward this week was giving these ladies a ride from the pub.

And also I have been helping my friend with taking her daughter to kindy as they have no car at the moment. Always happy to help people out. Most definitely helping my friends.
