According to a user on Facebook who witnessed the scene, the store owner packed up chicken wings, sausage rolls, a whole pizza and a 2-liter bottle of soda for the teenager and his hungry brother.
An owner of a 7-Eleven in Toledo, Ohio responded to a teenager shoplifting from his store with kindness — and now the act is going viral.
As Singh's employee called 911 and had a dispatcher on the phone, the boy told Singh why he was stealing."He said, 'I'm stealing for myself. I'm hungry, and I'm doing it for my younger brother,'" Singh told ABC 13."I said, 'Well that's not food. You're stealing gum and candies. That's just something for munching,'" Singh, who has owned the store for five years, told CNN."I said, 'If you're hungry, ask me.
To Singh, the small amount of charity made no difference in the long run."We make a lot of food, we sell a lot of food," he explained to ABC 13. While thousands online are praising Singh for his act of kindness, his wife of 30 years isn't surprised.
