McDonald's Employee Steps Away From The Register To Help An Elderly Man Cut And Eat His Food

September 24, 2015

A photo of a McDonald's employee in Chicago helping an elderly disabled man cut and eat his meal is going viral.

Destiny Carreno said she was waiting in line at a downtown McDonald's when a handicapped man wheeled himself to the cashier and asked for help.

"To be honest, I thought the cashier wasn’t going to help, especially during rush hour in downtown Chicago, but to my shock, he shut down his register and disappeared from view," Carreno said in her Facebook post.

"The cashier came out from the kitchen, sat down, and began cutting the man's meal and helped him eat," Carreno continued. "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."
