This video of a fast food worker’s kind deed has gone viral on the internet.

The video shows a fast food employee from Kentucky, Ridge Quarles, helping a disabled woman eat her meal.

The woman, who is wheelchair-bound, is a frequent customer of the restaurant, Qdoba Mexican Grill, and knew Ridge well.

So, when she came in recently, Ridge immediately greeted her and helped her through the line. After she received her meal, she asked Ridge if he would be able to help her eat, as she does not have full use of her arms and hands.

“Sir, if you don’t mind, could you help me eat?” she asked carefully.

“He didn’t stop to think about ‘Well, should I help her, should I not?’ He just went over, put the gloves on and started feeding her,” said another customer.

The sweet video was captured by a customer who was touched by Ridge’s dedication.

The video has since gone viral, but Ridge thinks nothing of it.

“I mean, she needs help and if I wasn’t going to do it, no one was,” said Richard, “Who else is going to do it?”
