Community pitches in to buy drive-thru worker new bike

Just when you think there’s no kindness left in the world, you hear about stories like this. After learning that a drive-thru attendant at a local fast food restaurant was struggling to make his way to work each day due to having no means of transport, a New Jersey community has stepped in to give the young man a new lease on life.

Jaron, a worker at the McDonald’s restaurant in the town of Franklin, is seen by his customers as a “ray of sunshine” thanks to his positive attitude and constant smile. So, to help make the struggling young man’s life easier, members of the community have pitched in to help buy Jaron a bike.

“With the help of this group of ladies from the community and the Franklin Volunteer Fire Department, Jaron was able to purchase a new bike as our way of saying ‘thank you’ for always being a positive person even when times are tough!” the Fire Department explained in a post on the Love What Matters Facebook page.

Commenters have praised the generosity of those who helped Jaron, thanking them for showing appreciation for good workers often taken for granted. “Customer service is often a thankless job and barely exists these days,” one woman wrote. “Way to go Jaron! Keep up the great work and making people’s days. The world needs more people like you in it! Glad these lovely people showed their appreciation for his service.”
