Content Creator Inspires w/ Simple Act of Kindness at Fast-Food Chain
A content creator earns praise online after sharing her thoughtful practice of cleaning up after meals at a popular fast-food chain.
Recently, Thea Ilao, a Facebook user, shared about their small act of cleaning up their table after eating. The post immediately spread like wildfire on social media and garnered various reactions from the online community.
After watching a fireworks display at the plaza, she and her family headed to a packed Jollibee branch for dinner. The restaurant was so full that even the party area was opened to accommodate diners.
While eating, they noticed another family who also decided to tidy up their table before leaving. Thea shared that she has always made it a habit to clean and organize their table after eating at fast-food restaurants.
Ilao hopes her children will grow up practicing the same courtesy. While some might argue that cleaning up isn’t the customers’ responsibility, she believes that small gestures like this can make a big difference for the hardworking staff.
Thea recalled how one of the crew members smiled when he saw that the plates were neatly stacked and the table already cleaned. It made his job a little easier, and it was clear the simple act was appreciated.
The content creator hopes that more people adopt this habit. It’s a small effort for diners but has a meaningful impact on the people who serve them.

Here is the full post:
“After manood ng fireworks display sa plaza, diretso kain sa Jollibee. Jam-packed ang jobee, kaya binuksan na nila pati ung party area. May isang grupo ng pamilya din na nakasabay kami pagkain.
Nakakatuwa na nung halos magkasabay na kami paalis, parehas kami nag-iimis ng pinagkainan.
It’s been my practice na linisin at ayusin ang pinagkainan namin sa mga fast-food na kinakainan namin. Gusto ko din matuto mga anak ko na maging gawain din nila yun paglaki.
Yes, hindi na daw trabaho ng customers yun, pero ung mga simpleng act na tulad neto, ang laking bagay na para sa mga nagtatrabaho dun.
Kita ko yung ngiti ni Kuyang personnel ng jobee nung makita nya na kukunin na lang nya yung mga patas ng mga plato. Pati table malinis na din.
Sana lahat maging practice din ang ganito.
This small act of kindness will go a long way. It has a ripple effect too. In one way or another, when you make someone’s load lighter, your life will feel less heavier too.”
