An as-of-now anonymous restaurant worker at an East Cobb restaurant is being praised for helping an elderly customer cross the parking lot, over the curb, and into the restaurant.

According to WSB-TV, the act of kindness occurred on Tuesday outside Johnny’s New York Style Pizza. The employee noticed the man struggling to reach the curb, ran outside, and held the man’s hand as they both walked into the restaurant. A woman waiting in her car saw the scene play out and photographed the good deed with her cell phone.
