Itโ€™s true! In fact, he just helped a homeless man seeking sanctuary in the bar.

To Tucker, itโ€™s just a part of the job.

Tucker begins to explain:

โ€œFriday, a gentleman walked in the bar and was asking for money.โ€

Apparently, a lady at the bar proceeded to give him $2. He immediately turned to Tucker with a question:

โ€œWhat can I buy to eat for $2?โ€

Tucker obviously knew that $2 wouldnโ€™t get you much at the bar, but he didnโ€™t care.

โ€œWhat do you want? A cheeseburger with fries? Or onion rings?โ€

The man jumped at the opportunity for some hot onion rings. Tucker let him know that heโ€™s good to go!

โ€œDone deal!โ€

Tucker then left to fill the order, returning with some water.

โ€œHe got his food, and he was just grinning from ear to ear.โ€

No matter where heโ€™s at or what heโ€™s doing, Tuckerโ€™s spreading joy.

He truly cares about people.

Tucker believes that the man was dehydrated. The refreshments seemed to spark new life into the new customer.

โ€œHe thanked me probably 15 times. He was so hungry and so nice.โ€

We need some more love in the world!

Tuckerโ€™s kindness has clearly touched countless hearts!

A bargoer by the name of Dawn Wilt saw the whole thing. He took the time to give Tucker Beck a heartwarming shoutout on Facebook!

In the days since the encounter, Tuckerโ€™s been looking for his new customer and friend, but to no avail.

โ€œWeโ€™ve looked for him. I havenโ€™t found him. I was gonna maybe see if thereโ€™s a way we could help him maybe more on a long-term, permanent basis.โ€

Theyโ€™d like to help him find a shelter or a comfortable place to stay.
