Mr. Whittaker rewarded the food court employees with a total of $110,000.
It is well said that kindness and humanity are still present in a few people. To prove this right, a writer and speaker offered a huge sum of money to three of the workers at the Atlanta airport in the United States.
A video has gone viral on Instagram showing the writer, Carlos Whittaker, video chatting with three of the workers, one at a time, telling them he’s going to give them $4,000, or about 3.3 lakhs each. But later they were surprised to get $35,000 each. The workers, named Phyllis, Brandon and Josh, were helped with the money Whittaker received from online donations from Instagram users.
The video was posted to Instagram by Mr Whittaker himself on October 8. “When I left the airport we had raised enough to give each of them $4,000. I informed them that it is not $35,000 each. Insta Familia. You changed three lives,” he wrote while sharing the post .
