Walter Carr from the suburbs of Birmingham, Alabama did not want to be late for his first day at work after his car broke down the previous evening.
So he walked for miles to reach his destination on time and left everyone from the police, customer and fellow workers impressed.
On his long route when he was almost at his destination near Pelham, a police officer found him walking and enquired what was he up to. Knowing his story, the cop was so fascinated by the young man’s grit, that he took him for an early breakfast and then dropping him at the client’s home where he was supposed to work.
This deserves 1000 retweets! Read this amazing story about Walter, a new bellhop in Birmingham.
