Kindness costs nothing but means everything.
An unwell man from Australia was hungry and decided to order food from a restaurant. He wrote an apology note for ordering it shortly before the eatery closes. He asked the staff to cancel the order if it was going to be a hassle for them.

While placing the order from Fettuccine Carbonara, he wrote, "I'm sorry I'm ordering so late I'm very sick right now I just woke up. I understand if you cancel [because] you're trying to close the store xx."
The restaurant staff decided to send him a note and added free garlic bread to his order.
The note read, "Thank you for the kind note, don't stress about ordering late, we don't mind. Here's free garlic bread to help you feel a bit better. It's kind messages like yours that really make my/our day better. Thank you."
The man was touched by the staff's heartwarming gesture and wrote a five-star review on Google. He said, "They gave me garlic bread on the house when I was feeling sick and wrote me a cute lil note in the delivery box and personally I would like to give each and every employee a little forehead kiss. Also, it seems like they broil the cheese on top of the carbonara and it makes it all crispy on top and personally I think I might cry it was so good, thank you kings."
The worker then took to Reddit to share how they felt after reading the review. "A couple days ago someone ordered 14 mins before closing time and wrote a note to us. I wrote one back and gave them a free garlic bread and a couple hours ago while working, I found out they left a review about it. Was pretty happy for the rest of the shift," they wrote.

The post has gone viral on social media, with netizens saying it was "wholesome".
One user said, "You¡¯re a blessing, thank you for spreading good in this world!" Another wrote, "Awwww. The customer wants to give them forehead kisses. So wholesome."
A third user said, "Just a note for others, if an employee bends the rules for you (such as giving a free order of garlic bread) don't mention it in the good review. It can get them in trouble." To this, the worker replied, "Yeah, kinda nervous for when the boss finds out, atm only 3 of us know. He does give out free stuff every now and then and this ended up in his shop getting a 5 star review sooo hopefully all should be well."
