JASON'S STORY
CARL'S JR EMPLOYEE MAKES
It was a work day just like any other for Michael Finney.
He arrived in the morning to start his shift at Carl’s Jr. just opposite YouTube headquarters. There were fries to prepare, drink machines to check. But shortly after lunch, the world got darker.
Michael was actually taking a bathroom break when shots rang out. Ironically, it was an area that was sound proof. When he came back out, chaos reigned as customers and employees swarmed around a diminutive figure. He saw a woman who had stumbled into the restaurant from the nearby YouTube campus. She had a gunshot wound to her calf.
Michael didn't panic. He ran back into his office and grabbed a bungee cord he had on his desk. It was about a foot long. He then returned to help the woman who had been caught in the gunfire at the tech company campus. He wrapped it around the woman's leg. He basically made a tourniquet.
He's very humble about what he did stating that he just wanted to do the right thing, help and represent the store the best way possible. He's hoping to work his way up to management. Eventually, he says he'd like to go to college, possibly for automotive repair.
Sometimes heroes don't have to wear capes, right?
