Life-Changing Gift From Kind Customer Moves Starbucks Barista to Tears

---

Small acts of kindness can make a big difference. And sometimes, we get to see the positive effect on the life of those receiving the good deed. One TikTok user experienced this first hand when they brightened the outlook of a Starbucks barista named Manny—all in a matter of minutes.
A TikTok user named Perri pulls up to a Starbucks drive-thru with her friend. After listening to the employee’s story of how he's hoping to buy a car, the two girls tell Manny that they “might see [him] around.” Then, the video cuts to them pulling out of the drive-thru and heading to the store to put together a special surprise for Manny.

While there, the women purchase roses and a small wooden box. But it isn’t until they return to their car that Perri reveals that they’re going to surprise Manny with $1,000 to purchase a car of his own. She sneakily tucks the money into the decorated wooden box along with a tiny toy car before heading back through the Starbucks drive-thru to give the barista his gift.

“We were really inspired by your story…We wanted to get you a little something,” Perri tells Manny before handing him the bouquet of flowers they bought.

“Thank you so much. I’ve never gotten flowers before.” Manny says with a touched smile on his face. And his surprise only gets bigger as they hand him the rest of his gift. He eagerly opens the box with the tiny toy car, and the small smile on his face instantly turns to tears of gratitude when he realizes that there’s also $1,000 hidden inside.

   In addition to the $1,000 gift, the generous women also started a campaign to help Manny raise the rest of the money he needs to buy a car.
