Our Kidde Hero of the Week story shines the spotlight on a random act of kindness and paying it forward!
Kix saw this story on GMA and wanted to share it with you!
Claire Hudson was waiting tables on a double shift at a local burger joint in Spring Hill, Tennessee called Mac’s Grub Shak. To her surprise, one of the couples she waited on left her a 36 dollar tip on a bill that wasn’t even 30! In addition to the tip, the couple left a note that read: “Today is my brother's b-day. He would have been 36 today. Every year I go eat his favorite meal (hot dogs) and tip the waitress his age. Happy B-day Wes."
The couple left before she could thank them. Claire said that she was in tears after the kind and thoughtful gesture and is now inspired to do the same thing herself in honor of her friend that passed away.
The restaurant owner and Claire are now trying to track down the generous couple… they’d like to know what Wes liked on his hot dogs so that they can name one after him on the menu!

Kix's Response:
Man, just do relish and mustard and onions, the regular stuff – I get the feeling for some reason that Wes was just a regular guy – and maybe put them on the side because I bet Wes would want you doing it your way. The Wes – I love this.
