DUNKIN’ DONUTS TROLLS MCDONALD’S ON TWITTER OVER DONUT STICKS
“Friday was a long day at work, I didn’t get a lunch. After leaving the barn around 9 [pm] I stopped by the McDonalds in Reading, Oh to grab some dinner. I ordered my food but realized as I got to the window to pay, I had left my wallet at work,” Duncan writes in the Facebook post.
“I told this young man to cancel my order. His response was ‘it’s ok ma’m I got you,’ he then took his wallet out and paid for my meal,” she continued.
Duncan went on to call the McDonald’s employee, Jeremiah McDonald-Hemphill, an “amazing young man,” and asked to give him a hug for his kindness.
“He didn’t know how tired I was or that I hadn’t eaten or even if he would be repaid but he didn’t even bat an eye and just acted,” she wrote.
Duncan shared the post – after getting McDonald-Hemphill’s permission – and it has received nearly 7K reactions and over 1.5K shares as of Wednesday afternoon.
