A boy who was left to have fun his birthday alone after his friends didn’t show as much as his party had his day turned around when he was gifted a surprise by a Domino’s worker.
The Queensland teenager’s mum needed to call Domino’s in Coolum, on the Sunshine Coast, last week to cancel the big order she had earlier placed to cater to party attendees.
In response to a post to the Domino’s Australia Facebook page, her son’s “peers hadn’t turned as much as his birthday celebration”, so she needed to vary the order to only one pizza.
After sharing the crushing story with the Domino’s worker that took her call, the shop’s shift supervisor, Miles, decided he would attempt to cheer the young boy up.
He swiftly started working putting together a makeshift cake, and created a “custom chocolate dessert pizza topped with churros and brownies.”
Before the order was collected, Miles posed along with his creation and a “Comfortable B’Day” message written in chocolate on the back of a pizza box for a photograph.
He was subsequently praised by a whole lot after his kind act was shared to Facebook on Tuesday.
“Well done, Miles. You sound like an excellent human,” one comment read.
“Good job Miles, I hope that cheered up the boy, heartbreaking when people don’t turn up for the party,” another person wrote.
“That is my biggest fear as a parent. So pleased there was some what of a very good ending to this,” one other said.
Greater than 1,800 people reacted to a comment asking Domino’s to assist facilitate the throwing of one other party for the little boy because “no kid (or their parents) should ever feel that sort of heartbreak”.
Others campaigned for Miles to be recognised by the shop and given a pay rise.
“Miles you absolute legend! Give this kid a raise. What looks as if a small thing is definitely such a large act of kindness,” one comment read.
Domino’s expressed its gratitude to Miles for his try to cheer the boy up.
“Thanks Miles for going the additional ‘mile’ to assist turn this customer’s day around,” the post read.
