Compassionate McDonald’s Worker Praised For Act Of Kindness

A McDonald's worker has gone viral and been praised after a customer captured his act of kindness and shared it online.

Destiny Carreno said the sight at her local McDonald’s in Chicago, Illinois, “brought tears to her eyes”.

She said the elderly man in a wheelchair asked for help from the cashier who shut down his till and duly obliged.

“As I waited in line to order, an elderly handicapped gentleman wheeled himself over to the cashier in front of me,” she wrote on Facebook.

“To be honest, I thought the cashier wasn't going to help, especially during rush hour … but to my shock, he shut down his register and disappeared from view.

Not to get away from helping him, but to wash his hands and put gloves on!

"The cashier came out from the kitchen, sat down, and began cutting the man's meal and helped him eat. At that point, the tears started to gather in my eyes.

"My heart was so appreciative for what he did. I couldn't contain my emotions in the crowded restaurant."

She added: “That was the kindest and most humble thing I had ever seen.”

“Employee of the year!” wrote one commenter.

Another added: “I would even write to McDonald's about that. That employee deserves to be recognised by corporate.”
