Well done
ParanoidWithGoodCause
if she was willing to give $100 just for the tip I wonder how much the whole thing would have been worth?

You have gmail messages waiting to be read. Just sayin'...

Ah another day, another tearjerking story of americas poverty turning into something nice for a single person. How about trying to fix it.

Tldr: man does good thing not seeking reward, gets rewarded by random stranger, mom uspers situation to make herself look good.

let's post this to the internet so everyone knows I did good and get karma. Fuck off, a good deed is its own reward.

How do you get .5 cents?
Poomonkey
Why are there so many homeless people that need this help, it's a fucking fallacy of logic, good on him though
TemmieTheAKK
Or he gets fired for accepting tips when they don't allow that at Burger King.

Wouldn't the hundred dollars be better going to the homeless man

What the fuck is this font
astromoondoggie
Mom found $100 in son's pocket. Son couldn't tell mom he earned it for alley BJ behind BK. Tells mom instead it was a reward for being nice.

theroaringjunior
Am I the only one who was raised to believe that a good deed done wasn't really a good deed if you told anyone/bragged about it?
GadenKerensky
The good deed was still done. Bragging about it is a little selfish, but the deed was still done.
ionfuckwitchu
You think the homeless guy gives two fucks about whether the kid brags or not? Sure, it's classier not to, but a good deed is a good deed.
Hitlersbulgingmilkybreasts
They gave him $100 dollars so why didn't the lady give the homeless man the money or why didn't he give the homeless man the money?
pragmatao
Because it never happened.
OverlyCynicalImgurian
As far as made up stores go, this one isn't that unbelievable.
SKuehn
It would have been sweeter if the lady gave the homeless guy the $100, not the teenager. Am I right?
BhataktiAtma
Homeless guy may blow it on crack and/or booze perhaps and donator thought of and didn't want that? Idk
SKuehn
Too bad, it must've smarted to see the kid get a handout when the guy probably needed it more.
imahoaxnacoach
Give the 100 dollars to the homeless you motherfucker.
kelik1
don't give the hobos money, food or clothes or other useful items, yeah. but you give them money, you don't know if they're spending it well
Tamaska
I disagree.. He did something nice and happened to be rewarded for it. I don't think he expected anything

Everyone does nice things. Doesn't have to be posted to get attention.

Why are you getting downvoted? :c

With the amount of negative shit being covered by national media, this kinda shit needs to be posted more.

Lower your standards.

$100 is almost nothing to have but everything to lend to someone else.

You're an adult when you realize 10 grand is lot to owe but not a lot to have.

No good deed goes unposted

Initially I thought the same. But yknow, its nice to know there are some decent people in the world. Kind of nice to hear for a change.
Candyclysm
I like hearing about people doing good deeds even if it's to get an Internet pat on the back. Better than hearing about violence.
SocialMediaMakesUsLessSocial
Neither does it go unscrutinized by those who'll always find negativity in everything
LannistersSendTheirRetards
You obviously wouldn't hear about the ones that don't get posted.
blainetog
We should post about them, so people hear about them even if they don't go posted.
DONTsendtits
... "I can pat myself on the back.."
singlecellshark
This is actually one of my biggest pet peeves. Do nice things without seeking praise or bragging about what a good person you are.
INeverThoughtIdMakeThisAccount
Personally I'm for anything that involves making a positive impact on the world and spreading awareness.
HotBlairBalloon89
If someone isn't with me when I do something generous/kind, I won't bring it up unless it's relevant to the conversation. That way 1/2
HotBlairBalloon89
I don't feel like I'm bragging. But I can't lie, I like it when I get to mention that I did something like this.

What I heard: Boy gives $5 to homeless man. Bystander walks past homeless man and gives boy $100...
justavanillabean
Would've been a better ending if the boy gave the $100 to the homeless man.
KatCatKittyKatCat
I had the same thought, seeing him holding that while reading...
SamArt53
Well the boy isn't as likely to buy meth with the money.

That's exactly what I concluded aswell. Seems odd

I'm thinking, come on lady, let's not break your arm while you pat yourself on the back.
jontaylor07
She's put a lot of time into that kid and will never get it back. At least she can be proud if/when he does the right thing.
NightDany
Well. TIL a lot of users here had shitty parents... Or mom in particular
VodkaReindeer
I like the font...
PermenantlyBannedClubMember
BOOM! OP outdid her by getting this to the fp.
VWWWWWV
I agree.
shitinacamaro
Meh. That's what parents do, nothing wrong with being proud of what you helped create. It's natural man. She should be happy:)
goawaypleasethankyou
Ain't no shame in feeling proud that you raised someobe to be an actual good person. Kids are hard work so she should be proud and happy!
PersonalityFire
I don't disagree at all, but people raising generous kids is what the world should be all about.
Verax
I agree wholeheartedly. I do give the lady credit, the smart ass in me couldn't resist taking a stab at her. She raised a good kid.
goawaypleasethankyou
If my kid turned out this good, fuckin aye I'd be proud of them, and proud of myself for raising a kind, functioning member of society.
mmaaaaam
This is my aunt she isn't making it about herself she's proud like any good mother would be
MetilHed
^^probably the mom
mmaaaaam
Or his cousin since I said that was my aunt who posted
Bambing
Her name is supermommy
MrsZbornak
I was thinking the same thing. Probably why she shared it in the Internet to get attention
shitinacamaro
Nothing wrong that, it's acceptable for her to brag about her son. It's not like the kid did knowing he'd get a hundo for it.
shitinacamaro
Of course she does. Her son is grown, her circle of friends has probably dwindled and her husband probably doesn't pay attention to her.
Fuckweasel
Oh fuck this comment to hell and back. People blame parents often when kids act like a shit, but when a kid does good and a parent (1/2)
Fuckweasel
expresses some pride for having been part of creating a good person they're suddenly a bad person? Nah, fuck that..(2/2)
goawaypleasethankyou
Oh god thank you! There's no shame in taking pride in your childs actions. I'd feel like a damn good mum too in her position.
Fuckweasel
You're welcome.
cuzitsthere
Would you tell me about it? Lets pretend the kid posted this and said "look how generous I am!" you'd eat him alive.
goawaypleasethankyou
There's a very big difference between tooting your own horn and being proud of someone you love.
justanotherpeon
Plot twist: boy gets fired for violating policy by ringing up his own purchase.
PrincessBride1
Yep. Against company policy most places to prevent theft.
PermenantlyBannedClubMember
where I worked at we got people fired. It jacks up the financials and looks like people stealing. It didn't help that they were.
hoeya
More like fired for taking tips.
terribadpenguin
That's so weird. Where I work its common knowledge to ring in your own food and pay for it if you're gonna be working anyway.
JakefromAllstate
Right. When I was a server, I would ring in food all the time just before I ran my checkout, and take it home when I left.
DeltaLaw
I think the problem here would be if he applied his employee's discount to the order.
justanotherpeon
That would certainly be an bigger issue.
alfrzernebog
The BK near me did that for me with no problem O.o
Lizaderp
Loss prevention in America: All of your employees will steal from you every time. Allowing them to ring up their own sale makes it too easy.
justanotherpeon
That's why almost all retail stores require another person to ring up your sale. I would require if I had a store.
Strangedays2024
I have worked for plenty of places that trusted employees and not lost a dime that way.
Lizaderp
It's quite shameful and backwards. Maybe employees wouldn't steal if paid well... Source: Oregon S/O
fergieferg41
In my last couple of jobs at the deli my bosses always said feed your employees for free so they are more inclined to work for you
justanotherpeon
Every food service job I ever had allowed me to eat (within reason), but I could give food to friends.
TooLazyToDoSomethingElse
People will steal if they think they can get away with it.
CounterPuncher
Then burger King hears about him paying for someone's meal, and fires him because it isn't policy
RDLPunk14
But he paid with his own money so it was still a sale. They don't care unless they makw money.
SirEbralPaulsay
That's not how large corporations work. If Burger King see this, company policy is he's fired.
CowmanII
and gets fired for accepting a tip
wontonballs
LactoseFairy
Actually I didn't have enough cash and a BK manager came by and reduced the costs for me.
TheUser14
I truly hope he doesnt get in trouble. Hes a great kid.
mrsocialeyes
People have no clue how places like these work.
Baeloro
Was waiting for that part... I guess op cut it out
MyCatLikesToFruitcake
Can't tell you how many times an old person, single parent, vet etc needed a few more bucks to pay for their food. I would be fired on the-
MyCatLikesToFruitcake
Spot if I paid for their food. They also will fire us if we use the change another customer left behind for someone else. :/
spacebutterkitty
As a person working currently at bk at cassa, yep.
JudgeRhymehold
Thought the exact same thing. Sad it's not that far fetched of a comment huh?
justsignedupforthishit
Nah. BK is a Canadian company. Apologies to everyone, eh!
GamShrk
I've worked at BK, this is true.
PrincessBride1
I worked there and managed a store. Wasn't true then. Might be at some franchise stores.
hereforthensfwreddits
It's because ringing up your own credit or debit card can be seen as fraudulent. As a cashier you can't transact for yourself.
namiasdf
This. Just get someone else to ring it through if you really want to do something like this.
hereforthensfwreddits
Yeah, that was the rule when I was doing it.
DetectiveKetchupJones
Funniest part is, if they find out he got that tip, he's required to give it to BK. At DQ any tips went straight into the cash register.
was821
I'm pretty sure the manager just pocketed the money when he counted the drawer down for the safe count
iamtotallyahuman
I worked at a cafe and they collected all the tip money from the year to throw a staff party. Only the owner and management was invited.
PrincessBride1
Not the DQ I worked at. As far as I know, they're all franchised, so your rich franchise owner screwed over the wage slaves yet another way.
DetectiveKetchupJones
Probably. Mine was franchised with bell stores, one of the worst gas station chains that I've ever been to.
PrincessBride1
It sounds awful.
SuperAwkwardGirl
We had a tip jar at my DQ that we'd all split at the end of our shift.
IAmTheOneWhoMocks
Ehhh, Money in the register is counted against sales made when i worked as a cashier so the excess is propably pocketed by someone...
PlatonicPajamas
For Kroger if someone tips us we could get fired.. its stupid..
PrincessBride1
Must be new. They don't do it at the local Kroger.
daffodilpuke
Really?? Care to explain? I've recently applied at a Kroger
PlatonicPajamas
At least at ralphs out in cali, if you get caught accepting money from a customer you can get written up for it.. its stupid.
ThePickliestRick
A legal workaround is if the tipper declares it a gift. A place I worked once wouldn't accept a $5 tip, but a boats okay if it's a gift
FelixtheWolf
Turning a PR boost in to a PR bomb? That would be sad to look at.
TooLazyToDoSomethingElse
Honestly these companies could say or do anything and people would still buy from them.
HolyCringeLordBatman
Retail/fast food corporate are the most out of touch single minded idiots you will ever encounter.
Thordis424
everything from branch managers and up yeah
Danickel0902
Or because they don't allow tips.
theyar
Or because this didn't happen.
OneCoolFrood
Do they allow their employees to receive gifts unrelated to their job?
tehzpoon
Well he's holding the equivalent of his weekly paycheck, he could just say ”fuck it, Arby's is hiring."
zarkingphoton
And then start all the way at the bottom again and have to work his way up?
tehzpoon
He's working at Burger King. I don't understand the difference.
Kougeru
Should be illegal to deny employees something customers want to give them.
FancyNapkin
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
TheEmporer
Like...the D? Because I want to give that away to a couple girls at the local BK.
willywheat
I, too, would like to give them some McDonalds.
namelessfish
Sorry @TheEmporer. BK already has overhyped poorly made miniature hotdogs
zarkingphoton
Underrated comment.
