A small act of kindness can go a long way. Sometimes the littlest of things that we think nothing of doing end up having an real impact on others. One child’s interaction with a friendly cashier is a perfect example of this. A young boy went up to Travis Sattler, an employee at Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers in Katy, Texas, towards the end of his shift.
The child seemed nervous and was worried he did not have enough money to pay for a mini cup of mint Oreo custard he had ordered. He anxiously handed over a few crumpled bills and change but he came up short. That was when Travis pulled out his own wallet, took out his credit card, and paid for the boy’s dessert himself.
He told the kid to keep his money and that it was on him, which made the surprised child smile and light up with gratitude. Travis went about his work and didn’t really think twice about his random act of kindness. A short time later the boy gave Travis a note as he left the restaurant with his mother.
It read “Thank you for being so nice and paying for my concrete. We need more people like you!” Accompanying the note was a $100 bill which Travis plans to save towards nursing school. In keeping with the generous and giving spirit of this whole event, the management at Freddy’s even matched the tip!
It is truly refreshing and nice to see how one random act of kindness can turn into an unforgettable experience for everyone involved. The boy’s note is right, we do need more people like Travis Sattler.
