Canada: Man walks in blizzard to find restaurant shut, netizens call him 'loyal customer'

When it comes to food, people often have favourites among restaurant options and they either chose dine-in or online ordering when they crave the food of their choice. However, travelling all lengths, a man in Toronto who wanted to eat food from a local restaurant went to the eatery in person on the day when the province was hit with a blizzard, that too on foot. However, the man was heartbroken when he saw that the eatery was shut owing to weather conditions. The video of the disappointed customer has now gone viral on social media. 

The video of the customer has been shared by Nicey’s Eatery on Instagram. In the CCTV footage shared by the Canadian restaurant, the man walked to the restaurant through heavy snow. As he noticed the restaurant is closed, he raised his hands to his head and fell to his knees. He got up from the snow, however, the disheartened expression was evident on his face. He started walking back while moving his hand in frustration and almost lost his balance amid the heavy snow. After witnessing the video, the restaurant offered a free meal to their ‘loyal customer’ and added that they were “terribly sorry the restaurant was closed.” Watch the video here:
