CHESTERFIELD Co., Va. (WSET) - A 19-year-old Chick-fil-A worker said it has been quite the week after he was caught on camera racing toward a customer who forgot part of their order.
His hustle helped the video go viral.
"I knew I could probably catch [the customer], so I figured I might as well give it a shot," Jared Wilson said about his 1/10 mile run through the parking lot to WTVR.
He said a co-worker forgot to bag a chicken sandwich for the customer.
He said the customer was surprised to see him running the food to the car, but was glad he was able to catch them before they drove off.
Now his co-workers, family, and friends joke about Wilson's newfound fame.
"I can’t believe they caught me on camera,” he said after he saw the video for the first time.
To answer the question most frequently asked, he did say 'my pleasure' after his parking lot sprint.
