When Destiny Carrero walked into a McDonald's restaurant in Chicago, she came away with more than a meal.
Carrero said that while she was in line to place her order, an elderly gentleman wheeled himself up to the cashier and asked for help.
"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, according to The Telegraph.
Nobody could discern what the senior citizen wanted, and the cashier took a while to figure out that the man wanted help with his meal.
"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!" she continued.
The employee has been identified as Kenny, and his act of kindness has gone viral over the digital world.
Seeing this today brought tears to my eyes! Compassion has NOT gone out of style.Today I made a quick stop at McDonald...

The owner of the McDonald's franchise where the incident happened, Rod Lubeznik, said that the company was "overwhelmed by the positive response [Kenny] has received for his compassion and kindness," reported Firstpost.
"It's a true testament to who Kenny is, and a reminder to us all that one seemingly small act of kindness can touch the hearts of so many," Lubeznik said in a statement, reported Fox News.
