Restaurant Owner Discovers Cleaner Secretly Collects Leftovers From Tables And Follows Her After Work to Find out Why She Needs It

Restaurant owner George Carson was taken aback when he discovered that one of his cleaners, Consuelo Ruiz, was sneaking leftovers from customers’ plates. George owned The Kettle of Fish, a prestigious New York restaurant that had been in his family for generations. While his manager, Colt Farlow, was in charge of day-to-day operations, George frequently dropped in unannounced to keep an eye on things. One late night, George noticed Consuelo discreetly scraping leftover food from plates into a bag under her apron. Instead of confronting her, he decided to follow her and understand her actions.

As Consuelo left the restaurant, George trailed her through the city’s quieter streets until she entered an old, condemned factory building. Curious, he peered inside and found her distributing the food to four young children. George was shocked to see that Consuelo was bringing these scraps home to feed her family. Deeply disturbed, he slipped away, determined to address the situation without causing her embarrassment.

The next day, George summoned Farlow to his office. With a mix of controlled anger and disappointment, George confronted his manager about Consuelo’s situation and the fact that Farlow had allowed her to live off scraps. He revealed that he knew Farlow had been skimming from her wages, leaving her with barely enough to survive. Farlow stammered, attempting to deflect blame, but George was resolute. He dismissed Farlow on the spot, outraged by his exploitation of someone so vulnerable.

When George called Consuelo into his office, she feared the worst. But instead of reprimanding her, George offered compassion and understanding. He assured her that not only would she receive a full, fair wage, but she and her children would also have a safe place to live. George explained that his grandfather, too, had been an immigrant who arrived with little more than hope and hard work. Thanks to the kindness shown to him, he had built a legacy, and George wanted to pay that generosity forward.

With tears in her eyes, Consuelo expressed her gratitude, deeply moved by George’s empathy and support. George told her, “One day, maybe you or your children will help someone else. That’s the true American Dream.”

Woman tries to take her seat on a plane – but she refuses, and what happens next has the internet is divided

Flying is not a pleasant experience for everyone. Some people make sure that before they set off on their trip, they take measures to ensure their comfort. But not everyone is mindful of the same thing.

This woman knew what she required when traveling and did exactly that. However, there were others who did not see it that way…

A woman found herself in a very uncomfortable position both literally and figuratively. She was torn between prioritizing her own comfort over societal expectations. She was faced with a decision; she could either be generous or stand up for her personal space.

She was headed across the country to spend Christmas with her family. She knew when she flew, she needed to be comfortable. Considering her size, she always books an extra seat on a flight. She makes sure to pay extra to ensure her comfort.

Everything went smoothly during the check-in, and she flew by through security and boarding. It was only when she was sitting in her seat that the unpleasant experience began. A woman with her 18-month-old child was sitting next to her. She saw that there was one seat empty and promptly requested that the woman squeeze herself onto one seat so that her toddler could occupy the other one. But seeing as the original occupant had paid for both seats, she refused.

The interaction was gaining attention, and a flight attendant noticed and came by to see what was going on. When the situation was explained to the flight attendant, she asked the woman on whether she could make room for the child, but she politely declined and asserted one again that she had paid in full for both seats.

The flight attendant thankfully understood and instructed the mother to hold her child in her lap as most children that age usually do. But, throughout the journey, the mother made sure to make the woman uncomfortable with dirty looks and passive-aggressive remarks.

Later, the woman wondered whether she had been unfair in this interaction and should have relented and given up her extra seat. She took to Reddit to ask the community on whether she had been wrong.

One person, who was a mother herself and had been in a similar situation wrote, “I’ve taken 9-hour flights with an infant in my arms and shorter flights with a toddler in my lap, who was capable of sitting in his own seat and very much did not want me to hold him. Did it suck? Yes. But it was my problem alone, and as long as my child was under 24 months and I didn’t have to pay for his seat, I chose to hold him. I swear, not all of us parents are this entitled!” 

Another person added, “She’s wrong for not buying a seat for her son and assuming someone else would give up a seat they paid for. Odds are she was hoping there’d be extra seats on the flight so she didn’t have to pay and used the lap thing as a loophole.” 

“I’d go so far as making a complaint to the airline about their employee supporting another passenger harassing you,” another outraged Redditor wrote.  

Another annoyed user said, “You should always do what you can to be as healthy as you can, but being fat isn’t a character flaw or a moral failing. We all have our own challenges in life, and you deserve not to be ashamed of your body and yourself, even if you aren’t currently meeting your goals. If the mom wants an extra seat for her kids, she should have purchased one. She’s not entitled to a seat you purchased, and you don’t need to feel bad for her bad behavior.” 

While, some people could also perhaps see the mother’s side in wanting to have a comfortable flight as well. However, had that been important for her, she would have made sure to prioritize getting a seat for her child.
