VIRAL: Fastfood crew throws surprise for girl whose mom couldn’t afford a birthday party

Now, this is a happy meal!

McDonald’s manager Sharmain Tacluyan found a way to make a young customer feel special with a simple but touching gesture. 

On her Facebook page, Sharmain uploaded a video of her fastfood crew organizing an impromptu birthday celebration for the little girl.

Her mother had tried to ask for a birthday discount upon ordering, but fastfood employees are not allowed to grant such requests. 

But they didn’t let the mother go home feeling defeated.

The fastfood employees played the Happy Birthday song for the entire store to hear. They also pumped balloons and designed pancakes for the little girl. 

As shown on the video, while the little girl appeared shy, the mother couldn’t help but shed tears of joy. Even the crew was touched by the heartwarming scene.

The post went viral with more than 22,000 shares. In the comments section, the online community gave Sharmaine praises for going out of her way to spread happiness. 

 

 

Kaninang umaga habang nakaduty kami.. May isang babae na nagtanong kung pwede silang mabigyan ng discount since birthday ng anak nya.. Ee kaso wala namang ganon.. Kaya heto nalang ginawa namin. Mabilisang salpak ng HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONG na maririnig sa buong store. Mabilisang pump ng balloons.. Mabilisang pagdesign ng pancakes pati candles para iblow nung bata.. Napakaunexpected lang ng naging reaction ni nanay samin. Heto yung isa sa mga pinakamasarap na feeling ng pagiging isang manager.. Simpleng paraan pero alam mong nakapagpasaya ka.-Serbisyong ALLOUT.-teamOpener. 02/07/16- Maam Ruan Robi :))))
