Officer Tony Carlson was about to get back into his car when he noticed a homeless man, named Phil, struggling with his razor outside a gas station.
After Carlson fixed the man’s razor, he realized that without a mirror Phil was having a hard time shaving. Phil informed the officer that McDonald’s had told him if he showed up with a clean shave he’d have a job.
“He seemed excited about [the job] … if he’s wanting to help himself, I need to help him out the best I can,” Carlson said in a video posted to the Police Department’s Facebook page.
A homeless man in Florida who was trying to get a job has been hired by McDonald’s thanks to the help of a local police officer.
Officer Carlson of the Tallahassee Police Department went viral earlier this week after he was spotted outside a gas station helping Phil shave.
After asking the officer for assistance because he was having trouble with the razor, Phil mentioned he had the opportunity to get a job at McDonald’s if he showed up the next day with a clean shave.
