A woman who visited a gas station to get some lighter fluid, noticed the clerk and said to him that she would bring some food for him before his shift was over. Of course, sometimes people say things and never actually follow through, that's just part of life. 

But imagine the surprise and shock that this clerk experienced when he sees the lady come back with a homecooked meal. He was manning the store alone and therefore could not leave his post, and that kind of dedication deserves a kind deed.

It is so easy for us to just live on autopilot mode, forgetting that just doing something for someone else, like a mere smile, can make such a huge impact in both your lives. So to see what this woman did, and more than that to see the reaction from the clerk, was inspiring. 

The woman went back to check in on the clerk, who was so humbled by her gesture. He shared that he had been working for 16 hours that day and couldn't leave to go get food. Check out the video below, courtesy of TikTok.
