A Bunnings worker has been praised after his wholesome interaction with an elderly customer went viral.
The employee, who at the time was on shift at Rothwell Bunnings in Queensland’s Moreton Bay Region, was applauded for his kind act as he helped a woman back to her car.
He was spotted slowly guiding an elderly woman across the road while having a “lovely conversation”.
The sweet moment was later shared to social media where it has since attracted a huge reaction.
“I wanted to share a photo that makes my heart sing,” the woman behind the post to Facebook wrote.
“A worker from Bunnings at Rothwell accompanying an older lady to her car. They were having a lovely conversation and he didn’t seem to mind that it took her a bit longer.”
She went on to praise the worker on his patience and kindness, and called for his employer to share their recognition of the young man.
“Well done to this young man for his kindness and compassion, he should be very proud of the person that he is.
“I would also like to say to Bunnings Warehouse Australia that this staff member’s a superstar and should be acknowledged because his humanity and kindness also reflects well on Bunnings.”
Dozens of people flocked to the comments to agree with the post, singing their praises for the young worker.
