Target Teen Gone Viral Gets Huge Surprise From Chick-fil-A

The quiet 15-year-old in the black suit was looking for a clip-on tie for his first job interview, but Target only sells regular ties. That’s when Dennis Roberts, Cyndi Moore and Cathy Scott came to his rescue.

“When Dennis was tying the tie, we took the time, ‘Look presentable, tie your shoe laces, tuck your shirt in,’ we were giving him pointers,” Cyndi explained of their interaction. “He was just soaking everything in, taking it all in."

This is more than just good customer service. Yasir Moore learned how to shake hands and look his interviewer in the eye.

**And now, after two interviews with the Chick-fil-A restaurant at a mall near his home, ABC News knew something that Moore didn’t. He was going to get that first job.

“I think we are ready to offer you a job at the mall,” Chick-fil-A’s manager, David Langston, told a surprised Moore in the food court.

Out came the cameras and a few special guests from the Target store who were hiding, patiently waiting for him to get the good news.**

Something that liberals do not understand about conservatives...

Conservatives do not want to hold blacks down. We do not take joy in seeing people poor and hopeless. We rejoice in the honest, hard working success of everyone, regardless of color.

I wish this young man all the success in the world. Hopefully this first job will lead to a good productive life for him in the future and due rewards for all his efforts.

Kudos and blessing to the wonderful folks at Target who took the time out to help him.

It is good that his mother was also gracious and appreciative. Good luck to both of them.

The part I think is sad about this story, is that we had classes on this in High School, how to dress, talk, walk, smell, etc. Now days that would be bullying, but when I went to my first interview I got the job.

Of course Jessie will find it racist. The young may will be (gasp) working, rather than accepting the wonderful gifts due him of welfare, 0bamacare, and 0bamaphone.
