Best advice that anyone can give, and it goes both ways.
Last Friday, one of my employees comes back to the shop and told me that a lady is on the phone. She is calling from the side of the freeway on their way to Yosemity Nat'l Park and they ran out of gas. I speak to her, and it turns out her husband is there. He gives me a bit more clear directions to find them and I tell them I'm going to fill up a 5 gallon gas can and head out. I find them about 7 miles away and start to fill their tank. The wife was in a bit of a panic, and had called a tow truck too (wtf!?). The husband was NOT driving. He was basically letting the wife drive and call for help.
I feel that had he been a bit more of a take charge kind of dude, maybe he'd have checked out the car before they left, and would have certainly called for help. As it turns out, the wife called the only gas station that would have gone out of their way to get them going. The husband tried to give me $50. I told him that he could pay me back by getting to his destination and home safely, and help someone else who really needs it. I got in the trucka and headed back to the office. I should add also that the husband told their adorable two children to roll down the window and thank the "nice man" LOL. I felt really great that they got going again safely.
