Every time I see this it really makes me catch my breath. It's just so so touching.
It is kind and awesome because how many people can you say, will go out of their way to do that for someone? The person here, his job description does not involve feeding people, but he goes out of his way to do it. Kindness is something everyone should practice, but unfortunately not enough people do. So it's NICE to see stories like this.
