I second that. I once gave a *small* box of Godiva to an exhausted
ticket agent at Heathrow (and smiled) when buying a last-minute ticket.
Upon boarding, I was shocked to find myself upgraded to a First Class
seat -- on a 15-hour flight from London to Tokyo!
It's not the Godiva, it's the heart and the smile! (But don't forget
the Godiva) :-)
