ZitatVANCOUVER, WA - A Facebook post showing workers at a Vancouver coffee stand consoling and praying with a customer has gone viral on social media Tuesday.
Barbara Danner on Saturday morning said in the post she was at the drive-thru of the Dutch Bros. on 138th Avenue in Vancouver, Washington when she caught the emotional moment on camera.
Danner said the workers were praying with a woman who lost her husband the night before.
“When the DB guys & gals noticed she was falling apart, they stopped everything and prayed with her for several minutes, invited her to come back for prayer and support, as well as anything else that she might need," Danner said in the post.
The post, as of Tuesday, had been shared more than 55,000 times and received more than 6,300 comments, which included customers sharing their positive experiences with the coffee chain.
There is a photo of this event at the link. I am still having issues with my normal photo storage site so I cannot post it. Very touching.
For those who may not know, since Dutch Bros can be found mostly in the West, it is a competitor to much larger Starbucks. It's coffee is much better tasting and the company is well known for its adherence to Christian principles in both its business practices and in its corporate giving. To be honest I am not surprised that the employees at one of its locations did this given the corporation's ethos.

I live east of the Mississippi so I'm not familiar with Dutch Bros.
It is heartening to hear of companies who promote Christian values (vs. secular humanistic ones). It reminds me of Chick-Fil-A (which we don't have around here, either).
Looks like I should move . . .
