Destiny Carreno said she was waiting in line at a McDonald’s in downtown when a handicapped man wheeled himself up to the cashier, identified as Kenny, and asked for help.
“To be honest, I thought the cashier wasn’t going to help, especially during rush hour in downtown Chicago, but to my shock, he shut down his register and disappeared from view,” Carreno said in her Facebook post.
But, Carreno said Kenny came back, with gloves on, and sat down next to the man and started to cut his food.
Carreno says she was brought to tears by Kenny’s compassion, “My heart was so appreciative for what he did. I couldn’t contain my emotions in the crowded restaurant,” she said.
