Little girl with only Rs 10 orders Rs 90 burger at Noida restaurant, staff's kind act wins Internet

Being compassionate to the world around us is one of the most important virtues of our times. Lending a helping hand or illuminating someone with an education, the world certainly needs more of it. A recent LinkedIn post is going viral for all the right reasons.

Just as in any nation, there is a widening gap between the rich and the have-nots. What is a necessity to someone, could essentially be a thing of luxury for someone. The post shared by Chartered Accountant Manish Balani has garnered over 56K likes and has been steadily attracting appreciation, and this is why.

Recently, a young girl walked into the Burger King outlet near the Botanical Garden Metro Station in Noida. The girl walked up to the counter and took out a Rs 10 note from her pocket and asked for a burger. Incidentally, the burger is priced at Rs 90.


Instead of reprimanding or ignoring the girl, the staff at the counter did something unusual, something that is worth all the admiration. The man took out Rs 80 from his pocket and gave the burger to the girl. The man did not disclose the price of the burger to the young child.

The girl walked on with the burger and a wide smile of contentment on her face. A journalist who was seated at the restaurant saw all this transpire before him. He took a moment and captured a picture of the young girl at the counter. The image was later shared by Balani.
The post on Balani’s LinkedIn account attracted a wide range of comments. “This is really good to know. But this post have been more encouraging and meaningful if you could have tagged the employee rather than just stating 'the employee'. Spreading good is by encouraging those people and making it more visible,” said a user. To this Balani said that he has asked his friend to find out more details about the staff at Burger King.

Meanwhile, some users dismissed it as a brand-building exercise. “This is clearly a brand-building exercise by Burger King, and you are most likely paid for this post!” However, Balani said that he hoped he was paid for the episode in a response laced with sarcasm.
