According to the post, Matthew Resendez was working his shift at Burger King one evening when a homeless man walked in. He gave Matthew 50 cents and asked what he could afford on the menu.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Sympathetic to the man\u2019s situation, Matthew asked him what he would order if cost was not a problem, and the man stated that anything would do.<\/p>\n

Matthew ordered a hearty meal and paid using his own debit card. He then handed the man the receipt and asked him to relax in a seat.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe story could end there, and it would be a happy ending,\u201d Resendez\u2019s post read.<\/p>\n

However, there was a woman in the restaurant watching the exchange, and she wrote to the company to praise their employee\u2019s actions. She then left Matthew $100 tip.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo proud to be his mom and I can pat myself on the back knowing that I\u2019ve played a part in raising this big hearted young man,\u201d Resendez wrote.<\/p>\n

The post garnered 40,000 shares and over 147,000 likes, with thousands praising Matthew for his kindness.<\/p>\n
