Responding to the confession, social media users applauded Cody’s actions, with some calling him to a ‘hero’ and others saying he’s a ‘national treasure’.
‘You are an every day hero. Its these things that can give people a lift!’ wrote one commenter. ‘There’s a really nice lady who works my town’s McD (sic) drive through and she has been called out in my huge moms fb group as having flipped many bad days- people have gifted her little surprises too.’
Another person said, ‘You sir are a true angel,’ while one morewrote: ‘Not all heroes wear capes, just name tags.’
‘This thread made me cry. I was the college student with work-study and 2 PT jobs who didn’t have enough. Slept in my car, showered at the gym and stole extra ketchup packets to make soup,’ added someone else. ‘The extra nuggets or fries made a huge difference! TY!’
Following the confession, social media users rushed to the social media platform to applaud him
‘The revolution truly will not be televised,’ joked another Twitter user.
Cody later chimed back in to say that he never actually saw a customer notice the extra nugget, but it was still worth it.
‘The location was mostly drive-thru so not that I can remember, but I’d like to imagine they went home, saw the extra nug [sic] and smiled a little,’ he said.
Elsewhere, some social media users chose to share their own acts of generosity at their jobs.
One confessed: ‘I worked at a donut shop and at the end of each day we had to throw out old donuts so I gave all the old donuts to the local homeless people for free instead of feeding the dumpster. Solidarity.’
Another person revealed: ‘I got fired from a donut shop for making the cinnamon rolls too heavy. We had to weight every one (precooked) and cut them under a certain weight. I just ignored that rule. My buns were HUGE!!!’
Yet another wrote: ‘In my three years working at a theme park I gave people towers of soft serve on their cones, overcooked the pulled pork sandwiches and fit as many chips as I could into each macho boat. Give your food service workers some appreciation because we love you, you filthy animals.’
Some social media users called him a ‘hero’ and other said that Cody was ‘a true angel’
