McDonald's employees praised for reopening restaurant for little girls after father’s DUI arrest - Fox News

Two Florida McDonald’s staffers are being applauded for going above and beyond to temporarily care for two young girls, ages 4 and 8, after their father was arrested for DUI charges in the parking lot of the fast-food chain.

Police officers in Sarasota responded to a call Monday after midnight and found a man asleep behind the wheel of his car, KGNC reports. In the backseat were his two young daughters, who reported being hungry and in need of the bathroom.

Though the fast-food restaurant had already closed for the evening, authorities approached the establishment, and informed the two lone staffers present of the situation, as per the police department's Facebook page.

"The two employees stopped what they were doing, started up all the machines and gave the two young girls anything they wanted to eat, allowed them to use the restroom and stuffed their Happy Meals with toys. Additionally, the employees would not allow Officers to foot the bill," reps for the department wrote online, in a post that has since been liked over 1,700 times on Facebook.

"To the two McDonald's employees, who went above and beyond, you are two of the many reasons it's an honor to continue to serve and protect such an incredible city," the emotional post concluded.

Moving forward, the girls were released to other family members, while their father now faces charges related to the DUI and child neglect, as per the police.
