I asked, “can I pls have 1 more bottle since I’m fasting?” Manjula replied, “why did you leave your seat? You pls return to your seat.” Minutes later she arrived with two sandwiches and said, “please don’t hesitate to ask for more.” Of course I didn’t need more. They were more than adequate for me. What was the most satisfying was Manjula’s heartwarming gesture.”
