Often times, individuals are caught on film doing unsightly and inconsiderate things.
However, this time, a deliveryman's reaction to a kind gesture has made for a video being appreciated all over the globe.
In a video posted to Facebook on Monday that has since gone viral, an Amazon Prime delivery man is elated to see snacks left on the porch of one of his delivery destinations. The home belongs to Kathy Ouma of Middleton, Delaware.
The delivery man, now identified as Karim Earl Reed III, is heard on video saying “Oh, this is nice!" and "Ah, they got some goodies! Wow! Oh, this is sweet! Oh, wow, get out of here!"
He's also seen doing a little jig as he walks away.
A note accompanying the treats reads, “Please take some goodies to enjoy on your route. Thank you for making holiday shopping easy.”
In a Facebook post, Ouma shared that she likes to spread the holiday cheer by leaving snack baskets for delivery persons each year. The baskets so far have included Oreos, coca-cola soda, water and various other delights.
Since being posted, the heartwarming reaction has garnered 9 million views and over 7,000 shares on Facebook. Ouma expressed her jubilation by commenting, "THIS!❤️❤️ Made my day! I leave goodies out every year."
With the influx of online shopping and dwindling manners, individuals tend to treat those offering services with disdain and flippancy. It is great to see those who value workers in all industries.
Joy is really one of the gifts that keep on giving.
