The Post Went Viral
But how did the rest of the world hear about the story? It had everything to do with a photo taken by another diner. When Daniel Maloney published a post, it went viral. At the time, he and his mother had been eating at the Arby’s. They saw the staff give Mr. Doug a coupon worth $200, not long before the older man received the lifetime supply of free lunches.

“We really enjoy you here, and we always want you to come back,” the staff told Mr. Doug, according to the post made by Daniel. That was not the only thing he said in his post. “There are so many good people in the world,” he said on Facebook. He added, “These employees selflessly put in their own money, so an elderly man could come in and enjoy dinner on what he never knew could be his last.”
