Footage of a Subway worker going about his working day with a baby strapped to him has been praised by social media users.
The sweet video was posted on TikTok on Saturday, November 6, by Leslie Munoz. In the clip, a male Subway employee is seen making a sandwich, accompanied by an infant in a baby carrier - while Reba McIntyre's 'I’m A Survivor' plays in the background.
Per The Independent, Leslie is the child's mother and the man carrying the little one is a friend and former co-worker.
In a statement to the Daily Dot, Munoz explained that she had asked her friend to carry her baby while she ate at the Subway store.
She said: "[The old co-worker] was so excited and strapped him on. He then proceed to make my sandwich, but as soon as a customer came in he was given back to me."
Check out the video below:The video has since racked up an impressive 2.9 million views, over half a million likes, and thousands of comments.
Needless to say, the man seen carrying the child in the video was showered with praise.
Thinking the Subway worker was the baby's father, one commenter wrote: "That guy is a keeper, your son is lucky to have someone in his life like this!"
Another wrote: "Good job dad. I love that your wearing him. [sic]"
Other commenters were inspired by the video, sharing their hopes for the "normalization" of flexible childcare arrangements at work.
For example, one person asked: "Can we normalize this? There shouldn't have to be a choice between taking care of the child and making money to care for the child."
Another shared: "I genuinely want to fight anyone that has a problem with this. It is hard to find affordable/GOOD childcare. [He's] working and being a parent."
A final commenter wrote: "This should absolutely be allowed. Tbh this would make me want to tip more and go more often. Daycares can be dangerous."
