A fast food employee has gone viral for helping a disabled young man eat his meal.
Laurinha Victória recorded the man, described as a Giraffas -- a fast food chain in Brazil -- employee at the “north mall food square” in Salvador, Brazil, feeding a customer with a “disability of the arms and leg,” she said in a translation on Facebook.
