Homeless man enters Burger King and asks worker What can I get for $0,50? – Story Of The Day!

Acts of kindness rarely announce themselves. Most of the time, they unfold quietly, witnessed by only a few people, and then disappear into the background noise of everyday life. But every so often, a small, ordinary moment breaks through the cynicism and reminds people what decency looks like when no one is asking for applause.

This is one of those moments.

On an unremarkable day in May, Matthew Resendez was working a routine shift at a local Burger King. The restaurant sat in an area where homelessness was a familiar reality, and employees were used to seeing people come in not to order meals, but to warm up, ask for water, or quietly stand near the counter before leaving again. Nothing about the shift suggested it would be memorable.

Then a man walked in holding a handful of coins.

He didn’t look angry or demanding. He didn’t cause a scene. He simply approached the counter and gently asked a question that stopped Matthew cold.

“What can I get for fifty cents?”
