Monday was his last day on the job as lobby manager at the restaurant. McDonald’s surprised him with gifts, cake, cookies, and a party.
“Everybody could learn from Daniel,” said David Glynn, the restaurant’s General Manager. “Being a team player and smiling. It doesn’t matter what is going on in the world. Daniel brings that to us in the restaurant.”
