Proud DQ Story; Act of Kindness is Super Sweet!

This story takes place in Hopkins, MN at the local Dairy Queen. It's starts with the manager of the DQ, as a regular customer with limited sight dropped a $20 bill on the floor. DQ Manager Joey Pursak noticed the fallen bill and saw another customer pick it up.

He figured she was going to return it – but she put it in her purse. Prusak confronted the woman about it, and when she denied it, he said he wouldn’t serve her. Then the young man took $20 out of his own pocket and gave it to the regular customer and said "you dropped this". Pursak told a local news crew that he did it because he thought it was the right thing to do.

And he did not expect this story to become an social media sensation, but another customer saw the entire situation, e mailed the DQ manager and then someone posted it on Reddit and then YAHOO picked it up and here we are!

Pursak said his boss gave him a note of thanks and said that he was the kind of man he was proud to know!

This is a great example of today's youth making a difference and not doing it for the recognition, but doing it because it's the right thing to do!

Update 8/20/13, 9:45 AM , apparently this story has taken off. According to the Huffington Post;

Now, people are calling the store, thanking Prusak and even offering him jobs. Customer traffic at the Hopkins Dairy Queen has doubled, and many people are leaving large tips – money that Prusak says he will donate to charity.

Prusak said he even got a call Thursday from billionaire Warren Buffett, whose company owns Dairy Queen. "He called and thanked me for being a role model for all the other employees and people in general," Prusak said.

Prusak has worked at the Hopkins Dairy Queen since he was 14. He's trying to save money to go to school for business management and has managed the store since the spring.
