This Chick-fil-A worker is so enthusiastic that people go ‘just to see him,’ NC video shows

A worker at a North Carolina Chick-fil-A is getting national attention after a video of him was shared on social media.

The video, posted on Facebook by Toya Liles on Dec. 16, shows the worker taking an order in the restaurant’s drive-thru and talking to the people inside the car.

It’s gotten attention because of his friendliness and positive attitude.

“Luv this young man he like this ALL the time,” Liles wrote on Facebook. “A1 services all day everyday.”

The employee, 20-year-old Jeremiah Murrill, works at the Chick-fil-A on Oleander Drive in Wilmington, according to WWAY.

“How else may I serve you?” Murrill repeats in the video as he takes the order.

“Amazing ordering everyone,” he says in the video after taking the order.

The customer then hands him a credit card to pay for the food.

“You’re one step away from an awesome lunch meal,” he says.

Before the car drives away, Murrill gives each person inside a fist bump.

The video has been viewed more than 290,000 times on Facebook and had more than 1,000 comments as of Monday afternoon.

“I love him,” one person wrote. “I go just to see him.”

“We adore him,” another wrote. “He instantly puts us in a good mood.”

Murrill told WWAY that the customers in the car asked if they could record him but he had no idea the video would get as much attention as it has.

“Your actions, your behavior, or the way you interact with people matters,” Murrill said, according to WWAY. “It can transform a day.”

Murrill said in a statement through Chick-fil-A and published by FOX News that he is humbled by the attention the video has received.

“I just want to help people in any way I can, so seeing someone’s day transformed by a little kindness is amazing,” he said in the statement. “I love that Chick-fil-A affords me the opportunity to make a positive impact on peoples’ lives.”

Liles told FOX News that the “world needs more people” like him.

“His positive attitude and his exhilarating spirit can brighten anyone’s day,” Liles said.
