A HUGE SHOUT OUT TO THE YOUNG MAN WORKING AT FLYING J SUBWAY: ISAIAH!!!
My first job was working at a Subway, when I was just 15 years old. I can tell you, Subway employees do not make a lot of money.
After getting my order, and my drink... as I was walking out the door, I heard Isaiah tell the old man that was after me... that his card declined, again. I stood waiting... if the old man couldn't pay for his meal, I was going to pay for it, for him. Isaiah told the man that he could go ahead and take the sandwich. After a moment of hesitation, and insistence from Isaiah, the man walked away with his sandwich.
I walked up to Isaiah and asked him if he would for me to pay for the man's food. Isaiah told me: "No, I got it." I assumed that Isaiah was going to comp it on the computer. Instead, Isaiah reached for his cash tips. I immediately, touched my card to the reader and paid for it.
As I was walking out, tears flooded into my eyes. I turned back to Isaiah, and told him that he made me cry. I said, "You are so sweet, I can't believe that you were going to use you own tip money to pay for that man's sandwich.
Isaiah completely melted my heart. So much compassion, at such a young age. Isaiah wasn't going to let someone go hungry.
Bless you Isaiah. read more
