The actions of an El Pollo Loco worker recently caught the attention of both social media and UFC CEO Dana White, earning praise and a generous reward for his integrity.
In a trend where wealthy individuals offer large sums of money to fast food employees to quit their jobs mid-shift, ‘Razzaqlocks’ visited an El Pollo Loco and offered $100,000 to a drive-thru attendant.
Despite the significant financial incentive, the worker declined, citing concern for his co-workers and not wanting to leave them in a difficult position for the remainder of the day.
El Pollo Loco’s official Instagram account commended the employee, highlighting him as an exemplary representation of the company’s values. Dana White also lauded the worker’s integrity, reposting the video on his Instagram story and dubbing him the “employee of the decade.” Impressed by the display of character, White personally visited the location featured in the video and rewarded the worker with $15,000 from his own pocket.
While some social media users questioned the worker’s decision to refuse the $100,000 offer, others recognized the importance of maintaining moral integrity over financial gain. Despite any criticism, the unnamed individual ultimately walked away with a substantial reward for his principled actions.
The El Pollo Loco worker’s story serves as a reminder of the value of integrity and the recognition that good deeds do not go unnoticed. In a world where material wealth often takes precedence, his actions stand as a testament to the enduring importance of staying true to one’s principles.
