Tables Turn At McDonald’s Drive-Thru When A Cashier Comes To The Rescue For A Police Officer In Trouble

They say that life is not certain, that no one knows when our time will come. Death does not differentiate between the rich and the poor, the good or the bad. There is danger lurking around the corner that comes unexpectedly at us. We can never say that we are safe all the time. Even at a place like McDonald’s, something happened that could have easily taken a person’s life had it not been for this cashier. It threatened the life of someone who is not an ordinary person but actually a police officer…

Regular Day

It was like any other day working at McDonald’s for this cashier. Nothing was different, in fact, it was quite uneventful that day at work. “That’s $15.35 in total, please,” Pedro Viloria announced from his mic. Then the sound of the cars honking would continue. People who came to order were usually very impatient, but he was not offended or annoyed because this is normally how hungry people behave.

Uncertain Future

Since Viloria was still young, he was not sure which career path to take. At that point, he was still trying to decide what he wanted for his future. His mom had to take care of him and his four siblings. She was working 60 hours a week, handling two jobs just to make sure her kids had food to eat. She was also keeping aside some money for their college tuition which made Pedro feel a little guilty…

News For Mom

Pedro was not a slacker, he was actually scoring good grades in school. But he was still not qualified to receive a full scholarship for a good college. He knew that if he had the tuition money, he would have had no problem to get enrolled in a proper college. He knew he could do this if it weren’t for their problem with money. So when he graduated, he had a surprising news for his mom.

A Difficult Choice

Since she wanted nothing but the best for her kids, Viloria’s mother did not stop and continued to work and sweat for the sake of her family. She was definitely one that deserved a break from all the stress and work. He then made an announcement while having their meal, “I’m getting a job.” She then had a conversation with Viloria before she left for work. Then the hard part comes…

No Work

Since Viloria was fresh out of school, he did not have any work experience. He had never held a job before although this was not actually his choice. His mother did not want him to have a job. So far, he was only allowed to work for the neighbors, mow their lawn or paint their fences. Her only expectation was for him to finish school so that he could “build a decent life for himself.”

Not As Easy

His mother loved them so much and only wished for her kids to receive a proper education. She was working hard and barely had time for herself. Pedro could not shake the feeling of guilt since his mother was doing all she could just for his well-being. He could not let her provide for the family and also pay for all of his tuition. But getting a decent job was not an easy task.
