A Minnesota Dairy Queen has been swarmed with dozens of phone calls, hundreds of comments and an influx of business after a story about their 19-year-old manager’s courageous defense of a blind man went viral on Reddit.
Joey Prusak, who has been working at the popular fast-food restaurant for nearly five years, told TheBlaze Wednesday he was “shocked” and “sickened” by what he saw happen to a blind man at the hands of an elderly lady. Prusak said that last Tuesday, one of his frequent guests, a man who is blind, walked into the local Dairy Queen. When the blind man took out his wallet to pay, a $20 bill slipped out of his pocket. An elderly woman behind the blind man then quickly snatched the bill off the floor and put it into her purse.

Joey is a Saint and Al Franken’s girlfriend is $20 richer.<<
LOL
good on him... now if only the manager would have reimbursed him the $20, DQ will get a lot more than $20 in business from word of mouth alone
If I was there as a customer I would have raised holy hell — “LADY — THAT GUY JUST DROPPED THAT BILL! DID YOU REALLY JUST PUT IT IN YOUR PURSE!!!”
Had events continued with her denial, etc. I would have ordered and then added $20 to my payment with a quiet smile a nod.
I would not want to “undo” his clearly classy and generous (and, frankly, brilliant) offering but $20 is not much to me, but it is several hours work for him.
I ain’t bragging — I am just noting what I would do and I am sure most (I will say all) FReepers would do the same.
People like that make me sick
I dropped $200 in the mall once, and a guy and girl behind me told me I dropped it, and when I looked back a woman had picked it up and was just standing there on the phone- she didn’t call me or tell me, she just picked it up and was going to keep it, until the couple told me I dropped it and pointed to her.
I felt like calling her a f-ing b*tch but refrained
Terrific story. I hope his boss included a $ 20 with the very nice note he sent Joey. Thanks for posting the piece.
Nah, the bonus points are Joey’s and Joey’s alone.
If the failed President Obama had a son, he wouldn’t be ANYTHING like Joey.
That good kid has been there 5 years and he's only 19. I imagine the job offers are rolling in.
Very heart warming story... now let’s go find that crook and redo the Slim Pickens-old woman Blazing saddles scene on her.
yup...
100%
Ping.
Outstanding...Thanks for posting.
