A Burger King Employee who worked for 27 years without a single day off was recently the subject of a massively successful GoFundMe campaign after his decades of service netted him a hastily thrown together gift bag.
In recent years, a multitude of people throughout the internet have become protective of fast food and other service workers to an unprecedented degree.
And ever since the pandemic emerged, we can see that this is especially true when those employees unwittingly star in a viral video after being berated by problem customers.
Some of these cases have suddenly seen the worker in question come into thousands of dollars thanks to the sudden generosity of an army of strangers. And the latest person to find themselves in the internet's good graces attracted the attention of celebrities and his outraged peers alike after his employers gave him a unsatisfactory reward for 27 years of perfect attendance.
And while this unpredictable reversal of fortune has left him unsure what to do next, it's also brought him even more unexpected blessings along the way.
