Aussie couple’s incredible act after watching a worker being humiliated

Couple’s incredible act after watching a worker being humiliated by a customer at a busy McDonald’s: ‘The poor girl was just doing her job’

  • Young McDonalds worker humiliated after customer threw drink on her
  • Jade Murphy from the Illawarra saw the act at Albion Park drive-thru on Saturday
  • The 21-year-old then approached the teenage employee and gave her a $50 tip 

A young Mcdonald’s worker was humiliated after a customer threw a drink at her after being unhappy with their order – before a couple surprised the teenager with a sizeable tip.

Jade Murphy, 21, said she and her partner witnessed the shocking act at the Albion Park Maccas drive-thru on Saturday night.

Ms Murphy said the young girl walked to a parked car to hand over their food before a passenger threw a beverage over her – prompting them to leave her with a $50 note to cheer the teen up.

‘My partner and I were in drive-thru about to collect our food when we witnessed this poor girl go to give drinks and food to a parked car, when the driver in the parked car then decided to throw a drink at this poor girl who looked to be about 15-17,’ she posted.

‘Shame on you, the poor girl was just doing her job, and it’s definitely not her fault you weren’t happy with your order. But thanks to you picking on this poor lovely girl, she scored herself $50 from both my partner and I.’

Ms Murphy, a former KFC employee, said working in fast food ‘isn’t easy’ and was reaching out to the local community in hopes of tracking the young Maccas staffer.

‘I hope you see this gorgeous girl and I hope you spend the money wisely because your worth more then getting stuff thrown at you,’ she wrote to Facebook.

‘Working in fast food isn’t easy, but don’t let anyone make you re think your job.’

The good Samaritan said the girl, who looked to be aged between 15 and 17, almost burst into tears when they approached with the $50 tip.

‘Your little angel face looked like you were going to cry when we gave you that money so I could tell you needed it and deserved it,’ Ms Murphy said.

‘What if that was your daughter who got something thrown at them you definitely would not have liked that and I’m sure this girls parents wouldn’t like you throwing stuff at their poor daughter.

‘YOU GO GIRL, spend that $50 on yourself because you deserve it.’

The girl’s father replied to the post, thanking Ms Murphy and her boyfriend for the kind gesture.

‘I would like to say thank you for your generosity. My daughter was over the moon when you did this. Yes she had a bad night and we did discuss this. But she just wants to do her job and move on, but you made her day,’ he commented. 

‘Once again thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Like she said to you last night that you didn’t have too. Just wish there were more people in the world that were more caring towards retail workers especially the younger generation.’

Other members from the Illawarra community lauded Ms Murphy’s actions in supporting the young hospitality worker.

‘A beautiful thing for you both to do I hope the young girl is ok and you made her night a better one heart of gold you both have,’ a woman responded.

‘That’s so disgusting and those ppl should be dealt with . That poor girl hope she’s ok and because of your kindness, I think she felt safe that someone was looking out for her,’ another commented.
