Around two decades ago, McDonald’s used the slogan “We Love to See You Smile.” Even though it’s not what’s actively used in ads today, the thought still remains. One McDonald’s employee, in particular, made the day of a customer and is going viral based on their kind deed.
Customer Andrea Duncan was at a Reading, OH McDonald’s drive-thru placing an order. Soon after, she realized she forgot her wallet at home — an embarrassing situation to be in that’s far more common than not. When she tried to cancel it, the employee refused.
Duncan was so taken aback by the kind gesture that she shared her experience online. It’s just proof that no matter how much negativity we hear on a daily basis, there’s still a lot of good out there. The employee, identified as Jeremiah, even took a photo for Duncan’s post. In sharing, Duncan just wanted to let her story be known and really illustrate how much these random acts of kindness are so important for making the world a better place.
One thing that really made Duncan smile was the fact that Jeremiah literally didn’t even know how much stress she was under before footing the bill.

It’s unclear as to whether or not Jeremiah does this with every customer in a situation like this, or if it was a one-time act.

Even though it’s probably not a good idea to dupe McDonald’s employees (since it’s possible this may be part of their system) these acts of kindness have been happening a lot more this year.
That's awesome, Alexis! Thanks for sharing! 💕

So, you’ll know how much of a bummer it’d be to be craving hash browns just to be turned away by a common mistake.
Legit pulled up to McDonald's to get some food and didnt realize I didnt have my wallet with me until I was ready to pay 🤦♂️ and I was stuck in the drivethru for like 20 mins 😭

After Duncan shared it on Facebook, plenty of people commented on the fact that his mother must have raised him right — and his mother reportedly responded.
How awesome!

“Thank each and everyone of you for the kind words in regards to my son,” Donna McDonald wrote back, according to Delish. Can you imagine how proud she must be?
It’s definitely another reason for the company to call out his good deed.
Prior to posting about the young employee, Duncan made sure to thank him in person and repay him for the food.
Duncan herself is the mom of two boys who, hopefully, would jump to action same way Jeremiah did.
