It’s amazing when employees go out of their way to make someone’s day special and it isn’t something they learn from the employee handbook, it comes from their heart. When a 93-year-old man from Workington, Cumbria lost his wife in 2009, he understandably felt alone. He began visiting his local McDonald’s nearly every day and enjoyed a Happy Meal.
He visits his local McDonald’s 6 days a week and this has helped him socialize with staff and regular customers who now call him a friend. On Sundays, he visits his goddaughter and discusses his week with her over a home-cooked meal.
When the staff found out his 93rd birthday was coming up, they surprised him with a gift of shortbread, whiskey, and free Happy Meals for life. Not only did they throw him a birthday party, they even gave him his own table for every time he visits.
93-year-old Harry Scott visits his local McDonald’s nearly every day after his wife passed. On his birthday, he was thrown a birthday party by the restaurant staff to say thanks.
