an Arizona Arby's fast food restaurant
0:33
one old Veteran's life is about to
0:36
change forever it starts from an
0:38
innocent stop for sandwiches to spending
0:41
every single day like clockwork visiting
0:43
the branch for food and the staff are
0:46
beginning to notice the old man sitting
0:48
on almost the same table every time the
0:51
restaurant's manager Christina Gammage
0:53
was the first to notice Mr Doug as they
0:56
would like to call him always visits the
0:58
branch and they were starting to get
1:00
fond of the old man the whole staff had
1:02
questions and they wanted to know why Mr
1:05
Doug had chosen to eat alone
1:07
where was his family does he have a home
1:10
what exactly was going on over the
1:13
course of days that turn into weeks of
1:14
going to the restaurant and ordering the
1:16
same food they managed to find out that
1:18
he was indeed alone
1:20
ever since Mr Doug had set foot inside
1:22
the restaurant he has always ordered the
1:25
same set of food that the staff would
1:27
just go on and prepare the same thing
1:29
for him every time his order a roast
1:32
beef slider with Swiss cheese and a
1:34
Coca-Cola with no ice and if you tried
1:37
to offer him anything else he would
1:39
politely decline
1:40
Christina was beginning to get a little
1:42
bothered by the fact that Mr Doug was
1:44
alone and always orders the same thing
1:46
without any hesitation
1:48
one day when her curiosity got the best
1:51
of her she asked him hey Mr Doug
1:53
Christina said all while serving his
1:56
lunch
1:57
we just want to know what keeps you
1:59
coming back to this Arby's location she
2:01
expected him to not answer her question
2:04
and it took her by surprise when she saw
2:06
him smile fondly at her even with a
2:09
smile on his face his voice had a hint
2:11
of a little weariness this is the only
2:13
place I can get a sandwich that doesn't
2:15
hurt my stomach Christina immediately
2:18
felt her heart drop Christian and did
2:20
not know what to think of the whole
2:22
situation
2:23
they'd first thought that Mr Doug just
2:25
couldn't be bothered to cook that's why
2:26
he chooses to eat out
2:28
but little did she know that he was
2:30
constantly eating at the restaurant
2:31
because his usual order was the only
2:33
thing he could stomach
2:35
the whole of the restaurant staff
2:37
already treated Doug as if he was part
2:39
of their work family
2:40
and it wasn't before long that the staff
2:42
knew of his predicament ever since they
2:45
had learned of Doug's condition they
2:47
made sure that they serve him with the
2:48
perfect amount Ethel Fishman also a
2:51
regular at the restaurant has been
2:53
acquainted with Doug and the rest of the
2:55
staff working ships at the establishment
2:58
she has seen her fair share of good
3:00
customer service being done at the
3:01
restaurant but she wasn't prepared for
3:03
what she was about to witness next she
3:06
accidentally saw a waiter slipping
3:07
something into Doug's order and her
3:09
knee-jerk reaction was to catch it on
3:11
video
3:12
when it was time to give Doug his order
3:14
the waiter was obviously quite nervous
3:17
but then proceeded to put his order down
3:19
he smiled at Doug and waited for him to
3:22
check the contents and make sure that
3:24
everything was inside he noticed a red
3:26
card when he pulled it out he was
3:28
surprised he first thought it was a
3:30
prank and looked to the waiter for the
3:32
punch line but he realized that the
3:34
waiter two was serious thank you I never
3:38
know if I'll be here the next day but
3:40
thank you so much for this said Doug the
3:43
red card had been a gift card that was
3:45
worth two hundred dollars Christina
3:47
later on explained that it was a gift
3:50
from all of the staff
3:52
they have put together money in order to
3:54
give to Doug as they knew that he was
3:56
only living off on his pension and did
3:58
not have spare money for anything else
4:00
the surprise basically became the Talk
4:03
of the Town and it wasn't before long
4:05
that the Arby's upper management had
4:07
heard about what the staff did
4:09
they immediately contacted Christina and
4:12
scheduled a conference with her to
4:13
discuss about what they did
4:15
Christina thought she was going to get
4:17
in trouble
4:18
when Christina was asked why they did
4:20
what they did she answered without
4:22
hesitation we try to go above and beyond
4:25
for him because he needs the extra love
4:27
her perspective was true Doug didn't
4:30
have anyone else he could depend on no
4:33
other family to take care of him
4:35
the upper management that Arby's told
4:37
Christina they weren't just going to
4:39
stop there the staff at the restaurant
4:41
and even Arby's owners were deeply moved
4:44
by the fact that he had been through a
4:46
lot and was doing his best to survive
4:48
despite the difficulties
4:50
they were also extremely grateful for
4:52
his service during the war and they
4:54
could not wait to tell him the big news
4:55
it was Christina and Travis that told
4:58
Doug about the news they explained to
5:00
him that he need not worry about money
5:02
for his lunch anymore as this was going
5:05
to be covered for the rest of his days
5:06
and at the money he puts into his
5:08
lunches would go to something more
5:10
important he was shocked Pristina said
5:13
he was absolutely speechless dub will
5:16
not only receive free food for the rest
5:18
of his life but he also is given so much
5:20
more than just good customer service
5:22
everyone working at the restaurant had
5:25
already been breathed his order is
5:27
always served freshly made and is done
5:29
by the time he even sits down at his
5:31
usual table when his gift card runs out
5:34
of balance the restaurant gives him his
5:36
sandwiches on the house even when he's
5:38
not there to personally collect the
5:40
order and eat it a local eye care
5:42
professional also heard about the rumors
5:44
regarding what's happened at Arby's he
5:47
had to come to see it for himself and
5:49
confirm it with his own eye
5:50
upon seeing the old veteran he was quite
5:53
delighted you know what they say to see
5:55
is to believe upon hearing that Mr Doug
5:58
needed a little help with his aging
6:00
Vision the optometrist decided to come
6:02
by the restaurant to give Mr Doug a full
6:05
checkup without any fees at all
6:07
this made the old man overjoyed and he
6:10
was extremely grateful who wouldn't be
6:12
happy with a free full checkup the Eye
6:15
Care Professionals saw that his
6:16
prescription glasses needed a little bit
6:18
of an upgrade he then decided to offer
6:21
Mr Doug a free pair of glasses more
6:24
businesses then decided to step up and
6:26
help Mr Doug and it made Christina
6:28
extremely delighted
6:30
they believe that it's only right to
6:32
help the veterans especially when they
6:33
sacrificed a lot to fight for the
6:35
country
6:36
it made the dog genuinely happy
6:39
Arby's owners were just glad to extend
6:41
their assistance after all it was a risk
6:44
that they were happy to take in order to
6:46
keep the old man happy
6:47
they might be losing a little bit of
6:49
money for giving out all these free
6:51
meals to Doug but seeing his reaction
6:53
every time the food was handed out to
6:55
him it was more than priceless Daniel
6:58
shared what he heard at the fast food
7:00
chain we really enjoy your presence here
7:02
and we always want you to come back to
7:05
Arby's Daniel relayed what RB's staff
7:07
was saying when they broke the news to
7:09
Mr Doug
7:10
Daniel also wrote on Facebook about his
7:12
thoughts on Arby's staff there are many
7:15
good people in the world these employees
7:17
put their own money so an old veteran
7:19
can come and enjoy on the diner after
7:22
Daniel shared the video and photos on
7:24
Facebook there were a lot of people who
7:26
strongly thought that the story was
7:28
heartwarming and worth commemorating
7:31
everyone shared the video reaching more
7:33
people to witness the wonderful moment
7:36
Arby's is known for supporting veterans
7:38
and even continuously offers them free
7:40
roast beef sandwiches to America's
7:42
Heroes on Veterans days they were
7:45
already helping veterans even before Mr
7:46
Doug so there really was no need to make
7:49
it known really
7:51
this country is blessed to have such
7:53
dedicated people willing to help and
7:54
serve our country and for our freedom
7:57
feeding them on Veterans Day is just a
7:59
small price that we are willing to make
8:01
according to Jeff Davis United States
8:04
beef chief executive officer
8:06
Mr dub might struggle with health issues
8:08
and has no family left but he's got
8:11
Arby's showing him the massive respect
8:13
and kindness he needs family doesn't
8:15
necessarily have to be by Blood but by
8:18
heart Arby already sees the old veteran
8:21
as a family member the old veteran had
8:23
been forgotten since risking his life
8:25
for America and the world's freedom and
8:27
peace back in the 1940s
8:30
but the Arizona RB staff is done what
8:32
the government should have done and that
8:34
was to respect him and treat him with
8:36
compassion
