A 92-year-old man went to his local Bank of America one day to make a withdrawal, but was kicked out because of his ID.
The man was quite upset about what happened and for this reason bank managers called the police to make the man leave the bank and not return.
When the policeman arrived, his gesture was not exactly what the bank’s employees expected.
It seems that the policeman chose to manage the situation differently, and his decision and the way he acted made a lot of people appreciate him.
Officer Robert Josett has been told he has to go to the bank because there is a 92-year-old man who is causing a scandal inside the bank.
It seems that the ID had expired and the bank’s employees said that they could not identify him to authorize the withdrawal.
The man did not understand this and why the employee refused to help him in this situation and simply told him to leave the bank. For this reason the man was upset.
Officer Josett got to the bank pretty quickly, and after hearing exactly what was happening he decided to do something a bit unconventional.
The officer decided to help the elderly man rather than simply kick him out of the bank.
Officer Josett offered to take the man to the DMV to get a new ID and then return to the bank to make the withdrawal he needed.
This is exactly what happened, as promised. Afterward, the Montebello Police Department posted a photo of Josett and the elderly man on Facebook, capturing the attention of thousands.
From here, a lot of comments appeared on Facebook that appreciated the officer’s gesture towards an old man who needed help.
People congratulated him and were amazed by his gesture because nowadays not many people stop to help others when they have problems, but simply people prefer to ignore the problems of others because they are too commanded to help.
There should be more and more people who choose to make a nice gesture for those around them and choose to help when they can, especially when they see an elderly person who needs help because the older ones do not know exactly what they need to do, especially since technology has advanced so much that it is difficult for them to understand exactly what they need to do.
Social media is full of negative news, so positive and emotional news are welcome and makes us hope that there are still good people willing to help.
We all have parents or grandparents in our lives who are elderly and may no longer have the patience to solve problems.
For example, an expired ID can be a headache for young people, but especially for the elderly.
Some people don’t even know exactly what the procedure is and what exactly they need to do to get a new ID as soon as possible, especially if they are in the situation of this man who needed money as soon as possible and could not access it.
We must learn to be more patient and be nice to those around us because we can always find ourselves in a situation where we need these two attributes from others.
