When a terrified old man entered Kelley Square Pizza in Worcester, Massachusetts, before closing time, his plea for food that would be thrown out was answered with kindness, as the restaurant’s management persisted in giving him a freshly-made dinner for free.
Mike Alexander, a Worcester mechanic, was waiting for his pizza when he spotted an older guy enter the pizza restaurant. The elderly man’s hands were quivering; he was walking with a cane, and he was dressed in two jackets.
“I’m at Kelley Square Pizza, waiting for my pizza to cook,” Mike wrote, “when this little crippled old guy walks in.” He’s walking with a cane and wearing two jackets. His hands are shaking, and he wonders who is in charge.”
Even though Kelley Square Pizza was closed for the night, the manager behind the counter gave the elderly guy his full attention. The quivering elderly guy was definitely hungry, and he was looking for any food that may be thrown away or that he might purchase at a reduced price.
“The man behind the counter responds and tells the other kid to stop cleaning (they close at 130).” The elderly guy inquires whether there is anything that would be thrown out that he might get for a low price.”
Without hesitation, the sympathetic boss instructs his employee to give this old guy everything he wishes.
“The manager then tells the kid to do whatever he wants with this man.” I simply want everyone to know that there is still a lot of good in the world, even in these difficult and wild times when some are out to damage it. There’s a lot of amazing stuff. Begin with yourself. Open a door, buy a coffee, share some food, make a donation, thank a vet, and spend time with the elderly. Anything.”
The manager’s generosity to the starving old guy moved many people online.
“There is nothing that makes me happier than hearing about people being wonderful to others.” “Thank you!” said Desiree P.
“God bless you all for your generosity in feeding this elderly man who couldn’t afford to buy himself a hot meal.” It’s a difficult world we live in, with so many people taking note… You are all endowed with huge hearts and fortunate souls. I honor those on the highest pedestal for their acts of generosity. Thank you; God will repay you all,” Kim J. said.
“A man came into the service department at the dealership where I work and requested a tool to tighten a battery wire. I told him I couldn’t lend the technicians any equipment, but I could do it for him. So that’s what we did. He returns a few minutes later and requests to use the phone.
Sure, I said. He sought to contact a man he said required some employment. The guy had run out of gas shortly after leaving and was phoning someone to volunteer to labor for gas money. He lost his job and his home as a result of missing too much time due to sickness, and he was living in his car. Clif H. commented, “I gave him my cash for gas and had one of our guys go get it in a fuel can.”
“Yes! All we have to do is open our eyes to see so many real acts of human compassion every day. “We can all help the many people who need it!” said Mary G. of Pizza Express Thane.
“A few days ago, I went to Burger King. It was freezing outside. An old woman walks in, has roughly 60 cents in her pocket, and orders a coffee with the senior discount. The lady appeared unassuming, yet her coffee cost 84 cents. I instructed the clerk to make it a large and give her her change back; the rest is on me. The lady began to weep, thanked me, and begged for a hug, which I gladly gave. While I was waiting for my dinner, the manager arrived with her coffee and some food. “He told her to sit and enjoy her food and coffee,” Gabrielle P. explained.
