Fast Food Woman Fired, Excused For Giving Free Doghnut

Xinhua:

A woman, fired by Tim Hortons, Canada, for giving away a free bite-sized doughnut worth 16 cents to an agitated toddler, was excused by the company, according to media reports Friday.

Nicole Lilliman, 27, a single mom, worked in an outlet of the Tim Hortons coffee chain in London, Ontario.

She was captured by video cameras that she handed out a Timbit to a child for free.

‘It was just out of my heart, she was pointing and going ‘ah, ah…’ I should have gone to my purse and got the change, but it was busy,’ said Lilliman.

Tim Hortons, a Canadian icon with stores on virtually every high street across the country, said on Thursday that the firing was a mistake.
