Man with Down syndrome seeks job, new restaurant hires him on the spot

[@rodrigodelagarza7138]

Respect to the owner. Sometimes people only need an opportunity

[@muffs55mercury61]

Absolutely. I've seen a few go from homeless or living in terrible areas to the top of their skills and a much higher standard of living. All they needed was an opportunity.

[@goldengod5915]

1:50 when he instantly smiled after saying that he felt welcomed, that brought tears to my eyes. Huge props to the owner for giving this guy a chance.

[@magnificentpotato4927]

Mine also 🥺

[@bryce3851]

Wish to work in that environment respectful environment

[@TravisBon615]

I’m commenting so you can come back and enjoy that moment again as I did

[@gulfflier4700]

This young man will be an asset! I love his attitude. Kudos to the owner for giving him an opportunity.

[@muffs55mercury61]

These people have the right to work and will almost always show up for work and on time. Some end up staying for 20-30 years or more. They just need the opportunity. He got his and his knack for cooking.

[@davidstufflebean3285]

Congrats Matt! Congrats to the owner he will never have a more loyal asset and employee in that kitchen.

[@alejandragrumbles8232]

Congratulations on his new job!!! I hope he has a wonderful time at the restaurant 🤞

[@carsilk2492]

I've been cooking for years, and while we're not always nice to everyone who just expects it, we're always nice to people who work hard and deserve it👌

[@echoecho1913]

The owner must really be an awesome man ! Congratulations Matthew ! If I lived in Hyde Park, I'd eat there every chance I could !

[@courtnocase]

[@bobhoe]

Just how it should be. I live in south Florida and Publix hires many disadvantaged people and I love it

[@bryce3851]

[@TheBeana666]

I’m happy this popped up on my recommended I’ve been down due to the death of a close loved one. Seeing stuff like this makes me so happy and gives me hope.

[@isaacs8528]

Kindness and acceptance is something the world needs alot more of

[@juliet7703]

Wish more bisnesses were like this one. Happy for Matt

[@tombosanko3085]

Congratulations Matthew. Way to go. Sounds like the owner got a great employee

[@janicepowell2188]

It's amazing that this restaurant hired this disabled man

[@shemiahwalker]

Congratulations 🎉

[@manuelper]

In general, and I don't know what it is, but folks with down are some of the hardest most loyal workers you can find. They may not always be the fastest but they have attention to detail and can soke up tasks like a sponge.

[@todydn]

Amazing stuff way to go matt and way to go store owner he said i love food boom your hired if only somepeople could be that nonjudgemental

[@klassicsubzero]

Wonderful story. What a sweet & hard working man. Good for him, hope he excels doing what he loves

[@gangstertwist8118]

So amazing, us parents who have children with special needs thank you all for giving our kids a chance 😍

[@wonderwoman6232]

He looks more like he has DS than sounds like it. He DOES manage it very well. So happy for him.

[@glowinthedarksoul]

Nice bro! Keep soaring homie!

[@angryBorderschick]

I wish I lived in Ohio, so I could go there and eat. I hope the restaurant does really well for what they did for this man. A positive job experience can impact a person for a very long time. Good luck to both!

[@vickinutter5733]

Wonderful 👍

[@AngelicNoose]

0:28, everyone can respect that.

[@truthhurts3524]

Matthew is a rockstar!

[@FadeToBlack1989]

Beautiful

[@mariatrining4083]

That’s amazing!

[@Dclxvi6x3]

If even he can get a job there is no excuse for all the bums that litter our streets 😤

[@We-will-defeat-them]

I’m happy he has a job but I think we should strive to help people rather than judging people when we don’t know their story.

[@toddkoedyker1447]

Great 👍

[@thebigboofer3826]

He seems like he doesn’t even let the disease get him at all. Bright and functional as anyone out there.

[@justinpullin98]

I AM A JUSTIN PULLIN WITH I AM A DESTINY HARMON

[@todydn]

[@zerotodona1495]

Good deal

[@DigitalZ420]

[@DRAKKENFIRE22]

This is a nice story, but it is one that I am getting tired of hearing; and it usually never ends well for the person with Down syndrome (DS). Sympathy hires is almost as bad as diversity hires; except sympathy hires have good intentions whereas diversity hires are really discrimination in the favor of “the marginalized”. There are things a person with DS can do, and some things they obviously can’t. If later they discover he can’t do the job efficiently or if they make him think he can assume more responsibility when they know he can’t, it is going to lead them to have to make some choices that may force them to fire him later, make him disgruntled, or risk losing money in some way. I am all for empowering people…not giving them false hope. “Empowering” involves a person you know can do the job well, and they just need some encouragement to excel. You’re actually sabotaging a person by telling them they can do something that is physically and/or mentally impossible due to a disability, and then just giving an apology when reality strikes the person. It’s a short term fix with long term negative consequences.

[@jackhaus5238]

I stopped going to Wendy's

[@ChrissGriffin2000]

I’m gonna pretend I have some down syndrome so I can get an easy job

[@kennethlang5480]
