Quiero agradecer a las dos empleadas de Alsa que despachaban billetes en la estación de Barcelona por el magnífico trato que han dado a mi hijo. Por circunstancias, se encontraba en la estación de Barcelona sin dinero ni teléfono, solo con una maleta grande. Estas dos señoritas, María y no recuerdo el nombre de su compañera, facilitaron su teléfono a mi hijo para que me pudiera llamar y nos asesoraron a los dos sobre cómo conseguir desde aquí qué billetes eran la mejor opción para volver a casa, teniendo en cuenta que el horario ideal ya no tenía plazas. No tengo palabras para agradecerles la solución a la desesperación de mi hijo y, a su vez, a la ansiedad que me suponía la incomunicación en otra ciudad con él. Estos detalles son los que de verdad importan y lo que estas dos chicas han dado es una lección de humanidad.
