The story of a Chick-fil-A manager's act of kindness on Monday is going viral online.
According to a customer who posted the story to Facebook, a homeless man walked into a Tennessee Chick-fil-A and asked if they had any extra food. Instead of turning him away, the manager of the restaurant reportedly offered to pray with him and gave him a free meal. Customer Joey Mustain posted a photo of the two men on Facebook, with this account:
Mustain wrote:
All I could pick up on of the conversation was the manager saying that he'd love to give him a full, warm meal -- not just scraps or extras -- and the only thing he required was that the man let him pray with him. ... As busy as they were, the manager stopped then and there, laid his hand on the man, and proceeded to pray. I heard love in that prayer.
Tens of thousands of people are sharing the story online and praising it in comments on Facebook. The post has been shared nearly 100,000 times in the last 24 hours.
Mustain wrote:
The homeless man wasn't some untouchable stain on business. He was the reason that store opened its doors this morning (or any morning). ... In a time when companies are trying to win in the market by neutralizing any possibility of offense, CFA is thriving because they unwaveringly cling to their principles and purpose.

Chick Filet, YOU FREAKING ROCK..!!!!!!
GREAT STORY...!
Post of the day.
You can’t help but respect a company that puts its money where it counts, and cultivates this kind of attitude among its employees.
GOD BLESS - Amen
Good people still around. Thank God.
The boy and the starfish story.
“I can’t save them all, but I can save this one.”
Good.
“...and cultivates this kind of attitude among its employees.”
That’s the part that amazes me - I’ve read several stories like this. One I recall, during the meal the employee noticed he didn’t have a hat or gloves and it was cold out - so he gave the homeless guy his. I recall another where they gave one kid a job, then after awhile got him clothes and some interview skills for a better job.

Chick Fil A
WTG Chick-fil-A !!
Adam Smith is STILL unemployed.
I heard he and his family had to MOVE INTO AN R.V...!
Very rarely have I heard such a prompt and intense case of “Just Desserts”.
Chicken of Despair visiting him BIG TIME.
WOW.
He should apply to Chik Fil A for a job! They’d probably hire him.
One thing that always stood out to me about this company is that they have the nicest employees you’ll ever meet.
Beautiful and only would blow the homosexual and liberals heads off.
If Chick-Fil-A was run like a FDA controlled school cafeteria that manager would be fired.
I don’t know what is worse: him (I can’t even remember his crime) or the gloaters.
