Employee helps young man tie a tie before job interview. (Photo: Facebook screenshot) 
 
 A random act of kindness may help one young man get a job. 
 
 A shopper named Audrey snapped a photo of the worker and customer at the Triangle Town Center store in Raleigh, N.C. 
 
 The boy, there ahead of a job interview, stopped by to pick up a clip-on tie. What could have been a hiccup in his day turned into a warm moment now seen by thousands of people. 
 
 The store only sells regular ties, so the employee stopped what he was doing and gave him a quick lesson. Audrey then saw them practice handshakes and interview questions before the teen went on his way. Some might call it Southern manners. Others would say it's just plain humanity. 
 
 "As the kid exited the store, a bunch of supportive Target team members cheered him on!" she wrote on the Facebook page. 
 
 The photo, as of this writing, has more than 40,000 likes and almost 3,000 shares. 
 
 "I was in Target while the employees were helping this young man," another shopper, Burnita Matthews, commented on the photo. "This picture cannot convey the warmth and kindness in their voices as they worked with him." 
 
 Other Facebook users are praising the teen and wishing him well. 
 
 "A teenager who shows up for a job interview in a suit and tie??? He deserves whatever job he is applying for!" wrote Rhawnie Mejia. 
 
 Target responded saying they're happy to read about the experience and will pass along the appreciation to the Raleigh store.

 A picture of a nervous teenage boy, getting ready for a job interview at Chick-fil-A, went to Target to look for a clip-on tie. 
 
 But what he got was a whole lot more. 
 
 Audrey D. Mark was just shopping at the Target at Triangle Town Center when she snapped a photo of a Target employee helping the young man tie a tie. 
 
 "I thought, well, that is strange, so I took a picture," she said. 
 
 Audrey shared the photo with Target on its Facebook page on Feb. 4. 
 
 “A kid came in looking for a clip-on tie for a job interview this afternoon. The store only had regular ties, so this awesome Target team member took the time to help the nervous teen put on his new tie,” Mark wrote. 
 
 Burnita Matthews, a witness and Target shopper, said, "It just really touched my heart. You hear so many bad things now, you don't hear about people helping people." 
 
 Matthews said she could see the employees on their knees helping the young man, and she thought, "What is going on?" She heard the employees encouraging him and saying, "You can do this, you can get this job." 
 
 The employee even helped the kid tuck in his shirt properly and then showed him how to give a proper handshake. Mark said the employee even help the teen out with a couple of practice interview questions. 
 
 Target manager R.J. Jasso said, "It's part of our job. At Target, we want to make sure we engage every guest." 
 
 Mark said the Target employees were enthusiastic about the young man's chances. 
 
 "As the kid went to leave, and he looked great, all the other team members started screaming, 'Bye! Good luck! You're going to do great!" said Mark. 
 
 
 
 Chick-fil-A said the teen was part of an open-interview process to help "keep the 'pipeline of talent' full and ready." 
 
 "A number of applicants attended this particular session, so the restaurant team is still evaluating the candidates and will be holding a second round of interviews in the next week, or so," said Mark Baldwin, a spokesman for Chick-fil-A. "I do want to emphasize that the interview process is often a very deliberative one and can span weeks. No decisions have been made on this particular candidate." 
 
 Meanwhile, the photo, which had more than 45,000 “Likes” as of Friday morning, has been shared by thousands. 
 
 “THIS is true customer service - Right on the mark, Target!!” Audrey wrote. 
 
 Target even replied to Audrey's post, thanking her for sharing the story and said they would share her appreciation to the Raleigh store.

– How often do shopping expeditions in mega-stores lead to heart-warming moments that go viral on Facebook? It happened the other day when a teenage boy went to a Target in Raleigh, NC, ABC 11 reports. The boy wanted a clip-on tie for a job interview, but an employee said they didn't have any. So she got a co-worker, Dennis Roberts, who tied a store tie around his own neck, then fitted it for the boy. But that wasn't all: Roberts also prepped the boy for his interview at Chick-fil-A. "We said, 'Make sure you look him in the eye,'" says Roberts. "I'm saying make sure you give him a firm handshake, and [the other worker] showed him. He tucked his shirt in." The boy politely absorbed it all. That's when a shopper, Audrey Mark, snapped a photo that she posted on Facebook on Wednesday, WNCN reports. That post has more than 50,000 likes and 4,000 shares as of this writing. "It was a very quiet simple moment, but it was very profound, honestly kindness—from strangers—in a Super Target," says Mark. "He leaves and all these Target employees are screaming 'Bye! Good luck! Tell us how it went.'" Mark and a Target employee both say they cried over the encounter. The Target team even checked with Chick-Fil-A's manager, who couldn't identify the boy but said he would let them know about the hiring by the end of the week. "Some might call it Southern manners," says USA Today. "Others would say it's just plain humanity."
