One Wednesday afternoon, I was driving west on I-40 when my blood sugar dropped very low and became dangerous. Luckily, there was a Burger King coming up at the next exit.
When I was ordering, I told the person on the speaker that I was diabetic and needed food fast. Low blood sugar makes it hard to think or act clearly.
When I got to the first window to pay, I was surprised to see a Burger King worker named Tina Hardy running toward my car.
She squeezed between the front of my car and the building just to bring me a small cup of ice cream. Tina later said her husband was diabetic too, so she knew I needed help.
After I paid, I went to Tina’s window and she gave me my food. She told me to park across the driveway so she could watch me until I felt better.
After I ate, I waited for a quiet moment and then went back to Tina’s window. I took a picture and told her boss what she had done for me.
If you think Tina Hardy did something special, please share this story. I hope Tina gets the thanks she truly deserves from the public and from Burger King’s managers.
