While he was in the Drive Thru, Maria Mendoza saw the cheerful graduated high school making hamburgers with a smile. She took a video from the teenager to not only share his joy, but also his work ethics with Tiktok. Her first video emphasized Mykale, who sacrificed a night that was dedicated to his own personal performance to help his colleagues.
The Caption of Mendoza was simple: “This young man deserves a fair.”
Baker said he wasn’t starting to work because he wanted to earn money. Without wages he joined the Hamburgerlijn to serve his team.
