A netizen shared how she tipped a Grab driver $30 and it prompted a huge reaction from the driver, which made her day.
Here is the story
I tipped a Grab driver $30 and when I opened the door to alight, he hugged me.
I booked a Grab ride which cost like $22.50 and I had some extra money so I decided to give the fattest tip I could.
When I opened the door, the driver hugged me and said “Thank you so much for the tip. It helps me so much”.
I’m not one of those attention-seeking people who brag or film whenever I do something nice but the reaction made my night, and that’s why I’m posting about it.
I love hugs so very much, and I love making people happy. I just feel so good.
Netizens’ comments
- I like this post. See, you’re not videoing someone being overwhelmed so it doesn’t feel like you’re doing it just for the votes.
But it also points out how much a relatively small amount can make a difference in somebody’s life
- As a Grab driver myself, any tips over $20 gets a hug or handshake offer from me. Usually some tears too.
- Got a bit teary. It’s true that there are some moments in life that remind you that those “little things” are really big things. They’re enough to fill you with love and hope in humanity all over again.
