Being a parent is a stressful job and it can cause people to become a little forgetful, and this is something that this mom realized when she turned up to a McDonald's drive-thru with her hungry kids.
Brittany Reed of Waynesville, Ohio, shared on Facebook how her kindly server didn't turn her and her two children - aged four and seven - away empty-handed when she forgot her purse, and instead insisted on paying for their meal himself.

Recounting the incident, she wrote: "We go through the drive through [sic], order food, all three kids are now crying for one reason or the other. I go to pay - I LEFT MY PURSE AT HOME. Welp [sic] now I wanted to cry.
"I look at the young man with tears in my eyes just from being stressed and annoyed and say 'hun I am so sorry but I have to cancel that order I left my purse at home when we went to football tonight' WITHOUT HESITATION he takes out his wallet and swipes his card before I could even say 'no I will be right back!' [sic]"
However, when Brittany returned to the drive-through with her purse, the server, Wyatt Jones, refused to take her money and insisted that the meal was on him.

Brittany continued on Facebook: "I just want his parents to know how KIND & COMPASSIONATE your son was tonight! He made this stressed out momma pause for a moment and realize this is exactly what we parents are trying to do, raise great humans. Wyatt, do not let this world change your kind heart young man for its people like YOU that will change this world for the better!"
After the incident, Brittany wanted to give back to Wyatt and decided to create a GoFundMe in his honor.
"Hello! My name is Brittany Reed I recently shared a post to Facebook about how this EXTREMELY kind young man working the drive thru [sic] at McDonalds [sic] in my hometown of Waynesville, Ohio paid for my meal when I realized I had forgotten my purse," she wrote on the fundraising page.
Brittany continued: "We are setting this Go Fund Me [sic] up for him because we have recently found out that he is working at McDonald's to save up to buy a car and I want to pay it forward and show him the same type of kindness he showed me."
Those who read the story were equally touched by Wyatt's kindness and decided to come together to give him the ultimate tip.
At the time of writing, the campaign has raised over $32,000 for the kind McDonald's worker, and the amount is rising every minute.
This story is proof that one good deed deserves another!
