McDonald’s Customer Pays it Forward

Her car had recently died, leaving Vicki with no way of commuting to work at the McDonald’s in South Hutchinson.

That’s when a McDonald’s customer pays it forward by giving Vicki a black car.

Chris Ellis – a regular drive-thru customer — visits Vicki during her shift and presented her with car keys and the title for her  vehicle. See her reaction below.

The car previously belonged to Ellis’s son, Josh. Before handing the vehicle over to Vicki, Ellis made sure the oil had been changed and the tires rotated.

“Everything works,” Ellis said. “It’s all yours.”

While Ellis recently mentioned to Vicki that he would get her a car, she brushed it off as a joke.

“You’re a blessing to me. You make me smile every time I come through here and I don’t forget stuff like that,” Ellis told Vicki.

Her hard work and good attitude were a standout in Ellis’s eyes.

Earlier on in the video, Vicki asked Ellis what she owed him. To which he replied, “A smile and a hug.”

He did have one request though before the video ends. He asked Vicki to pay forward the good deed when she is able to.

Perhaps we can all take a page from Vicki here and understand the value behind a smile, friendly customer service, and hard work. It may not get us a free car and title, but the greater value is in making someone else’s day.
