Diner Manager Asks Elderly Woman To Go Into Kitchen Unaware He’s Being Recorded

Pulling On His Heartstrings

The restaurant manager explained that the old woman’s sad story had really pulled on his heartstrings that day – nothing like this had ever happened to him before and he felt compelled to help her. 

“It was not typical. Definitely not something you hear every day,” he said. And, when the woman had offered her ID and social security card as collateral and promised to pay him for the Wednesday $1,29 deal the next day, he became even more determined to help.
