This is Lori from the McDonald’s in Wills Point, Texas. I pulled into the drive-thru because the parking lot was full and asked if I could buy a couple of gift cards.
Lori greeted me through the speaker, cheerful as ever:
“Welcome to McDonald’s! May I take your order?”
I said, “Yes, sorry — can I buy gift cards here?”
She replied, “Of course! Would you like five, ten, or twenty-five dollars?”
I said, “I’ll take one for twenty-five and one for ten, please.”
Then Lori said, “Alright, one twenty-five and one ten… would you like a song with that?”
I laughed, thinking she was joking. “A song? Really?”
“Yes!” she said. “Would you like one?”
I told her, “Yes! I’d love a song!”
She gasped and laughed. “Really?! Nobody ever says yes! Oh no, the pressure’s on! What do I sing?”
A moment later, she broke into Justin Bieber’s ‘Baby, Baby’ right there through the drive-thru speaker. I couldn’t stop smiling.
This young woman absolutely made my day — so kind, so funny, and completely genuine. Lori, you turned a simple errand into a moment of pure joy. The world needs more people like you. ❤️
