Laying in bed, suddenly something is touching your feet, you look under your sheets
"Hi, I'm John Quinones"

[Randomblindgirl]

Cashier: *being rude*
Couple making eye contact: you take the man, I'll handle the lady

[AnimeXIIIII]

That first couple that helps the man out is an absolute power couple. Notice how she's helping him out while the man lets the worker know that her attitude is out of line.

Both are performing an important job here, I absolutely love it.

The second gal with the grandfather who cannot read is probably the sweetest woman on Earth. She was even nice to the cashier and trying to just explain to her how this kind of thing happens.

[NMcKay]

“There’s also honey, that sounds really good.” “I love toasted marshmallow”
MY HEART

[laurenbruges]

As soon as someone says ‘oh no I forgot my reading glasses’, you best damn read out the flavours to the customer.

[LupiFem]

"Your manager will know about this."
That is a Karen move I can get behind.

[denkikaminari]

That male actor absolutely NAILED his role. His, “It’s so embarrassing, ” and, “I should’ve learned to read a long time ago” hit different.
His body language. The way he tries to look away in embarrassment as they talk gave me tears.

[gabbymarie]

The actor who is acting like he can’t read is so convincing 🥺😭

[emiyuu]

This first girl totally destroyed her: "Your manager will know about that."
It's a gold.

[soccernoodlex]

First couples synergy is off the charts. Girl steps up to help and boy addresses the problem. No hesitation on either side. Absolutely love it

[kosmickobb]

The way that first couple looked at each other and didn't even have to talk it out. They were on the same page and immediately took action! Wow!

[couchpotato]

Second girl who read out the menu so patiently and kept her calm with the I stan

[jiong]

Saw a $20.00 bill on the floor at Walmart one day, passed on by because I didn't want John Quinones popping up asking why I picked it up.

This one really hit close to home for me. My Dad had an accident as a young child that left him with a TBI, which led to him not being able to read. He was a damn hard worker though! He learned hands on what to do at the many different jobs he had, and he took things so seriously on getting the job done right. When he left a job at a casino where he replaced lightbulbs, the casino had to hire a couple more people to do the same job that my Dad did all on his own. He sure taught me how to be a hard worker, and that you can be a hard worker no matter your circumstances! When he worked a janitorial job, he taught a new hire how to do things right, no taking shortcuts. Later on that new hire told my Mom and I that he was so glad that my Dad trained him and that he trained him well.

The way the last lady really put things into perspective really makes me want to help those unfortunate enough to not have the opportunity for an education, whether they are good or bad people. We have to think outside the box.

[SuperZebraDash]

The man acting makes me wanna cry every time she insults him, he’s so good at acting. He just seems so excited about that milkshake

[kassandracamille]

love how the first couple looks at each other and without saying a word goes to help the man

[BlackRSEproductions]

Sometimes when I’m down, I come to this show just to remember there are good people in the world that do have empathy. So many people are out for themselves these days and it helps to remember there’s good out there ❤

[stanollie]

The second girl is absolutely wonderful... "they also have honey... that sounds REALLY good!.." She is amazing <3
