As humans, we have a responsibility to be kind. Whether it’s taking the time to make a family’s day better or simply choosing kind words over mean words, kindness is what leaves lasting positive memories for a person.
Working at a restaurant provides you the opportunity to interact with many people — of all ages, personalities or life stories — each day.
That means you are provided with opportunities to shed kindness on people you don’t know but who may truly need it.

Burger King employee Matthew Resendez took advantage of this opportunity when he decided to buy a meal for a homeless man who visited the fast food restaurant.
When the man entered with only 50 cents in his hand, Resendez asked him what he would order if he could order anything. Resendez then proceeded to order and buy what the man desired.

He even sat down with the homeless man as he ate and talked with him, showing him kindness and love. Little did Resendez know, but a woman was watching the whole time and decided to tip him $100 in appreciation of his kindness.

Another Burger King employee was captured performing a sweet act of kindness for an elderly customer at the Mechanicsville, Virginia, Burger King restaurant, according to WRIC.
Elizabeth Chandler snapped a picture of this sweet moment from her car as she was leaving the restaurant, and she posted it on Facebook where it has since been shared hundreds of times.
The picture shows employee Alexis Easter walking an elderly man to his car, arm-in-arm.
Easter walked the man to his car and even helped him into his vehicle, continuing to speak to him after Chandler left.
Chandler posted the picture and captioned it, “Shout out to the cashier at the Mechanicsville Burger King, making this world a little brighter ? #spreadloveNOThate.”

“It was the sweetest thing, not only did she walk him to his car with their arms locked, she made sure he got into the car, and then stood there talking to him until after we had left,” she later commented.
We’ll never know the real impact this had on the elderly customer, but this could very well have made his entire day!
Thank you to this Elizabeth Chandler for capturing an inspiring and uplifting moment for the world to see.
