Fast Food Manager Piles Up Tons Of Food For An Unusual Reason

Managing a chaotic fast food joint requires a plenty of focus. So when Ahmed Elmadhoun, the manager of Frenchy's Chicken in Houston, Texas, was approached by a customer during a busy moment, he could've easily sent someone else to tackle the concern. Nevertheless, he welcomed the interaction and ended up making a decision that left other diners turning their heads in amazement.

Ahmed Elmadhoun

As the manager of a popular fast food joint specializing in Louisiana Creole food and fried chicken, Ahmed Elmadhoun always needed to be on his A game. And that's doubly the case on Wednesdays when the Houston restaurant runs an affordable special. But one Wednesday in 2018 blew the rest out of the water.

Naturally, Ahmed always tried to ensure everything ran smoothly on the day of the special to avoid customer confrontations, but sometimes curve balls were thrown his way. In February of 2018, Ahmed encountered a particularly unusual situation.

Mother and Child

A woman with a young child entered the chicken joint. Normally nothing would've stood out about the duo — parents and children came in all the time to eat. This mother, however, asked to speak to the owner privately.

A Private Conversation

Though busy, Ahmed agreed to step away from the rush and speak with the woman. He wondered if she'd had a bad dining experience or wanted to offer suggestions to improve the place. Instead, she told him a tragic story.
