Restaurant Employee Goes Above and Beyond for a Disabled Customer

Simple acts of kindness that don't get made into selfies are the kind I like to hear about, and this is one of them.

Qdoba Mexican Grill in Louisville, Kentucky, a lady in a wheel chair (we won't use her name for privacy's sake), is one of the regular customers there.  A bus drops her off outside, and she usually has to wait for someone to help her inside. Over the last five years Qdoba employee Ridge Quarles had gotten to know her pretty well.

Ridge told WAVE 3 News, “She didn’t get to get out of her house very often, but whenever she did, she always told me, ‘Ridge, this is my most favorite place to eat.'”

A few weeks ago the lady stopped in again, she ordered the usual.  Ridge told the reporter, “I had helped her through [the] line and sat her out in the lobby, got her a drink, got her utensils and napkin and kind of started to walk off and I was like ‘Is there anything else I can help you with?’ and she turned around and she was like, ‘Sir, if you don’t mind could you help me eat?'”

And so Ridge put on some gloves and helped her eat. Yes he actually fed her!

Little did he know, another customer Dr David Jones taped this amazing act of kindness and sent it out to some of his friends to let them know there are still good people in the world.  Well those friends spread the word and now everybody knows the name of one of those good people Ridge Quarles.
