Bakery employees surprise woman after seeing her celebrate birthday alone
A woman’s special day took a turn for the better when she received a surprise celebration from some bakery staff in Kuala Lumpur (KL).
They hatched the plan minutes after noticing that she was celebrating her birthday alone.
On Wednesday (4 Dec), a bakery named Sundaydo shared an Instagram video of a middle-aged woman visiting the shop to buy a piece of cake.
Once staff realised it was her birthday, they offered her the cake for free. Although the aunty insisted on paying, the staff refused to accept her money.
