I love short track racing (Taylor's Version)
This is incredible. John Flatley, manager of the La Plata Maryland Chick-fil-A restaurant drove FOUR hours (each way) to a customer's house on Thanksgiving to return a wallet that a customer accidentally left at the store.

Hi. My name is Autumn. I visited the La Plata location on Thursday, November 20. After driving for about 7 hours on my way to visit family, my children and I stopped with 4 hours still left on our drive. While there, my 3 year old son became very cranky, so I decided it was time to pack up and leave. I was very distracted and tired. When I left the restraunt, I left my diaper bag containing my wallet hanging on the back of my chair. I did not notice until Wednesday evening, Thanksgiving Eve. When I called the restraunt and asked if anyone had handed in my wallet, the manager asked for my address so he could bring it to me. I explained that I was four hours north, so if he could just Fed Ex it to me I would be VERY grateful. He said he was going to leave to Fed Ex it right away, so that I would recieve it ASAP. I was beyong relieved!!! The next morning, Thanksgiving Day, there was a knock at my sister-in-law's door. Because we were not expecting anyone, she made a "who could that be?" face at me. I exclaimed, "Maybe Fed Ex is running on Thanksgiving." When I opened the door, to my utter SHOCK, it was Mr. Flatly, operator of the store in La Plata, MD. I stood there dumb founded, knowing that he had to have left at 6:00 that morning just to make it to my sister-in-law's house, 4 hours north of his store, only to turn right around and drive 4 hours south again. I was so dumbfounded that I did not know what to say or do in that moment. I had no cash, but
I wish I would have at least been able to give him some money for gas and tolls, though I don't believe he would have accepted. This was the best Thanksgiving Day I have ever had, based on his kindness. When I told my 80 year old grandmother-in-law, she cried at his kindness. I called everyone I know and said my faith in humanity has been restored. To know this man spent 8 hours on the road on Thanksgiving, paying for his own gas and tolls, because he didn't want me to be inconvienced leaves me speechless. I am now Chick-fil-a's number one fan and customer!! I cannot express how this man went not only above and beyond his role as manager, but as a kindhearted human being. Like I've stated, my faith in humanity has been restored. I will be doing my best to pay this kind act forward...
