What this Boom-A-Rang Diner Employee Told a Mother She Needed to do with Her Crying Child is Shocking.
Amanda
Rousey had had a horrible day, and things were going to get worse
before they got better. She was driving with her young daughter and
decided to visit one of the Boom-A-Rang Diners in Muskogee, OK. She
decided to go to the drive thru. As she was placing her order,
however, her young daughter began to cry. As she waited at the
window, the crying became worse and worse. So, she decided to get
out and hold her child to calm her down. A line of cars was beginning
to form behind her.
Upon seeing Amanda out of her car with her crying child and the line of cars behind her, Teler Akers, a Boom-A-Rang Diner waitress, decided to take care of the situation. She took Amanda's order from the window and, instead, walked it out to her car. When Teler saw the stress and worry in Amanda's face at the line of cars that were waiting, she said, “Don't you worry about them.” Teler then placed Amanda's order in the passenger seat of Amanda's car while Amanda put her daughter back into her carseat. That's when Teler shocked Amanda. Before she had a chance to pay, Teler told her, “You just go.” Seeing the overwhelmed look on Amanda's face at this generosity and kindness, Teler smiled warmly and said, “Don't you worry.” Overwhelmed at Teler's kindness, Amanda put this post on Facebook:

The
first thing Teler will tell you is, “I'm a Christian, and that's
where it comes from.” Teler moved to Muskogee “from a hard
background.” But, when her life had gotten out of control, she
decided to make a change. Since then, she has turned her life
around. She has been working for the Boom-A-Rang Diners for a little
over a year. On her own in Muskogee, she says, “My work-family is
my family.” We are sure glad to have her as part of the
Boom-A-Rang Family. “I got what I have from people helping me,”
she says, “and so, I try to pay it forward.” As to paying for a
customer's food, she says, “I've done it before. You can see it in
somebody's eyes, and you know. In that moment, a few dollars were a
big deal to her, but nothing to me, so why not help?”

Amanda's
post led to her and Teler becoming Facebook friends. And, Teler
later told her, “You were just as much a blessing to me as I was to
you.” So often acts of kindness go without recognition, but in the
sincerest way Amanda reached out to show her gratitude. We have
great admiration and appreciation for these two ladies and are truly
inspired by them.
