DUNKIN’ DONUTS TROLLS MCDONALD’S ON TWITTER OVER DONUT STICKS
“Friday was a long day at work, I didn’t get a lunch. After leaving the barn around 9 [pm] I stopped by the McDonalds in Reading, Oh to grab some dinner. I ordered my food but realized as I got to the window to pay, I had left my wallet at work,” Duncan writes in the Facebook post.
“I told this young man to cancel my order. His response was ‘it’s ok ma’m I got you,’ he then took his wallet out and paid for my meal,” she continued.
Duncan went on to call the McDonald’s employee, Jeremiah McDonald-Hemphill, an “amazing young man,” and asked to give him a hug for his kindness.
“He didn’t know how tired I was or that I hadn’t eaten or even if he would be repaid but he didn’t even bat an eye and just acted,” she wrote.
Duncan shared the post – after getting McDonald-Hemphill’s permission – and it has received nearly 7K reactions and over 1.5K shares as of Wednesday afternoon.

Duncan is reportedly hoping her story will prompt McDonald’s to acknowledge their employee’s generosity.
“We hear so much about what’s wrong with the world I had to share a little of what is right,” she wrote.
