EastIdahoNews.com is partnering with Smith Honda in Idaho Falls to honor people in our community for Feel Good Friday. Every week, we surprise someone deserving of special recognition.
We recently received an email about a young man named Matthew who works at McDonald’s in Rexburg. It said:
On Friday evening, I went to McDonald’s for dinner and ordered a hamburger and a shake. Between the order board and the pay window, I realized that I didn’t have my card with me. Frantically I started to look for it, I could not not find it, and asked to just cancel the order. And this young man offered to pay for my meal. He kept insisting that it was okay so I agreed if he would give me his name and phone number and I would pay him back. So this morning, I called. No answer, so I texted the number he gave me about 10:30 a.m. and as of yet I have not had any reply. I would like to pay him back. And I feel that it was an act of kindness that should be recognized and to his parents two 👍👍. You do not see this very often from young people nowadays. I do not know where he lives, he works at McDonald’s on the north side of Rexburg.
We tracked Matthew down at work and had a surprise for him. Watch in the video player above!
