    “And it got a fancy picture of my suspenders from the back” protect this old man at all costs😭
  • Don't get me wrong, this is a nice story, and I'm glad she got the scholarship, but how insane is it that our society has so drastically devolved into anger, hate, apathy, and division that a very simple, easy act of kindness and cooperation goes viral?
  • Anybody else get a little joy in their heart when the old man said "they got me on Facebooks"
  • @robert_8586
    If that man decided to not go out for dinner that day, she wouldn't have a scholarship, isn't that crazy.

    I’m a server, who recently went at war with my manager because an elderly man asked me for help taking his shrimp off the skewer on a busy Friday night & I did it, with a fork.. was told I was doing too much for our guests. This story reassures me never to stop going out of my way for people. You go girl! ❤️
  • The act didn’t go viral because the world is so bad it went viral because SOMEONE ACTUALLY NOTICED. We live such busy lives we don’t notice the simple acts of kindness around us. She didn’t think of how busy the restaurant was (and how the other customers might yell at her for taking too long or tip her less) she just helped she deserves it.

    He said, “They got me on the facebooks”

    Don't say the world needs more people like them. Instead, just be like them yourself
  • Man...just hearing her say "ready to order babe?" Puts a smile on my face. I'm very depressed and upset a lot. But hearing the loving words of older black women makes me smile. It makes me feel comforted.

    "They got me on facebooks" protect this man and his fancy suspenders.
  • You know the world is bad when things like this get big rewards congrats to her
  • @JoBlo321
    Someone reward this girl's mother too! Not only is this girl polite and kind...she's hardworking and setting goals for her future! Wish I were a millionaire...I'd help kids like this in a second! She's our future and I'm rooting for her! You go girl!
  • @NAVIAHHHH
    I love that she got her own day... like- when people celebrate it, do they say "Please take the extra time to spread some kindness"
  • The crazy thing is that she got a scholarship for being NICE.... that is how we all should treat people. Cuz nowadays things like this is rare..
