This Story of a 19-Year-Old Dairy Queen Employee Standing Up For a Blind Man
The Blaze ^ | 0918/13 | Oliver Darcy

Posted on 09/18/2013 4:25:39 PM PDT by Doogle

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.

And someone who would trade her soul for $20.

I guarantee that the “older lady” who snatched the $20 bill was one of Holder’s people, based on her reaction when confronted.

It doesn’t say anything about certain characteristics of the crooked woman. However, my sharply trained mind detects characteristics like an unreasonable sense of entitlement, an arrogant attitude, and blaming her wrongdoing on honest people.
Conclusion = one of holder’s people.

...$20 is not much to me, but it is several hours work for him.

This is a Dairy Queen in Minnesota, not some sweatshop in China. And he's a manager. I'm thinking 1.5-2 hours, tops.

I wonder if the elderly woman mistakenly thought that she had somehow dropped the money.

Then once the employee pointed out that the blind man had dropped it, she should have checked her wallet, seen that she had $20 more than she should have had, apologized, and returned the money to the gentleman.

Point well made. But chances are good many of us make 3-4 times what he does. I wouldn’t turn down someone who ran up to me and shoved a $20 into my hand, but I also don’t see $20 as much.

It can mean a lot for people around the median income...

Yep, given her complete denial, aggressive attitude, and cussing out the manager, I would also bet she's a bona fide member of the entitlement class.

Thanks Doogle.

I want to know, but I'm not going to look.

Wow!

Simple story.

Shows what’s wrong with America.
And shows what’s RIGHT with America!!

My hat’s off to this fine young gentleman, and to Dairy Queen as well.

Hopefully, he doesn’t get canned for it...

Joey did the right thing. Unfortunately what he did is now the exception in the Twin Cities area.

What this woman did is what now passed as “Minnesota Nice”, especially amongst the far left that view themselves as enlightened. This kind of behavior I have witnessed firsthand having lived there for ten years. Minnesota is the first place I have ever heard anyone say to me “Don’t you know who I am”, both times after vehicular assaults. And I thougth New Jersey was bad.

I think we know who this old bat voted for...I hope they find out who she is, and that she is publicly shamed and humiliated.
