With so many things going on with the world, there’s nothing like a good heartwarming story to restore our faith in humanity again. This Facebook user recently shared his true story of how he left his bank card at a KFC at the Jalan Dato’ Onn Jaafar branch in Ipoh.
Last week on 20th April, Ah Liang posted on his Facebook sharing his recent experience at a KFC during his stay in Ipoh, Perak. It was around 1:30am when he came across a KFC opposite of the hotel he was staying at. After noticing it was still open, he decided to walk in and order take out.
At first, it didn’t go as quite as he expected. “Staff told me they were closed but the sign says close at 2am. Aiyah. I protested a little and the manager said alright,” he said. His meal was then packed and ready to go but when he took out his card to pay, the manager insisted that it’s on the house.
Ah Liang said that it was, “Very kind of him and when I wanted to pay, he said no worries and wouldn’t take my card. Didn’t expect that at all, (I) was pleasantly surprised and left a ten ringgit tip in the box.” But something happened after he got back to his hotel room. As he was enjoying his meal, he received a phone call with a “03” number from Puchong but didn’t pick it up until his phone rang the second time and to his surprise, it was from his bank.
The bank informed Ah Liang that he apparently left his card at the KFC he ordered his meal from. The bank initially planned to cancel his card but the KFC manager who phoned the bank asked them not to as the owner might still need to use it since it was late at night.
Ah Liang then went back to the KFC immediately after the call to retrieve his bank card and found that the manager was still there waiting to hand it over to him. “How about that for service AND initiative, eh? Zakir, you are a star. Your thoughtfulness is much appreciated at a time when I’ve almost given up on the younger generation.”
The Facebook post has since been flooded with comments by netizens thanking Ah Liang for sharing the heartwarming story and praising Zakir (as referred by Ah Liang) for his kindness. May the KFC manager’s good deeds be rewarded some day.
