Narrative:
At gate xx in lga, a mechanic came on board and asked flight attendant for a drink of water. She gave him water. He said 'god bless you,' and left. I don't remember seeing an identify tag on him. I should have called the gsc to check into it, and should have asked to take a look at his identify.
