A heart-warming video of a fast food worker helping a disabled customer enjoy a meal has been shared by millions of people.
Ridge Quarles, an employee at Qdoba Mexican restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky, was secretly filmed by another customer hand-feeding the woman because she was unable to do it herself.
It was captured on camera by Dr David Jones and quickly went viral after being shared on social media.
Mr Quarles, who has since left the restaurant since the video was filmed several weeks ago, told Wave 3 radio station the woman was a regular customer.
She would get dropped off at the restaurant by a special bus that helps adults with disabilities, but would have to wait until someone noticed her to help her inside.
The workers did not know her name but quickly learned her order – a taco salad with hot sauce and cheese for lunch or a burrito with hot sauce and cheese for dinner.
Mr Quarles said: “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, you know.
“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?’”
Mr Quarles said he did not stop to think about it, put on some gloves and helped the woman eat the burrito.
He told Wave 3: “She needs help and if I wasn’t going to do it, no one was."
Mr Quarles later wrote on Facebook: “Today I had the honour to accept public acknowledgement for helping someone else in need.
“I’m very glad to have had the opportunity to impact lives around me. Go out and help someone today and pay it forward. Happy day everyone!”
