A random act of kindness was caught on camera at the McDonald's in Chicago's Union Station last week.

Destiny Carreno posted a picture of a McDonald's employee cutting a man's food and helping him eat on her Facebook page on Sept. 16.

Carreno said she was waiting in line to order when a man in a wheelchair approached the counter ahead of her.

"The man politely tried to ask the cashier something, and it took him a few tries before either of us could understand he was saying, "help me, please,'" she wrote in the Facebook post.

Carreno said it took a few tries, but the cashier, Kenny, finally realized that the man needed help cutting and eating his meal.

She said she was shocked when the cashier closed down his register and disappeared to wash his hands and put on gloves. She watched as the employee came out of the kitchen sat down and began helping the man eat.

"This employee, who put everything on hold for this man, went above and beyond his responsibilities to help this handicapped customer out," she wrote. "That was the kindest and most humble thing I had ever seen."
