A Chick-Fil-A cashier holding onto forgotten change until he could return it to a customer weeks later is being praised for his kindness.

For almost a month Marcus Henderson carried an envelope to work each day containing the $3 forgotten by Danny Cadra at a drive-thru in Lubbock, Texas, Fox News reported.

Cadra is a regular customer and Henderson thought it would be better to hold onto the change until he returned rather than put it back into the cash registry, or pocket it.

"I was going to see him again eventually," Henderson said, according to KLBK, adding that the envelope became an essential part of his uniform.

"It was my name tag, my hat, my apron and I just put it in my back pocket, just in case today might be the day where I see him."

When Cadra did eventually return, he was taken aback by Henderson's thoughtfulness.

"It was like $3 and some change, and I never would have missed it," he said, per KLBK.

"What a breath of fresh air," Cadra added. "It meant that much to him, so it meant even that much more to me."

Henderson shrugged it off, saying that thinking of others was simply part of his job description, but Cadra had other thoughts.

"This the coolest thing," he said, according to Today. "Man, what a great American."

Random acts of kindness appear to be quite common at Chick-Fil-A locations, with customers and employees regularly scrambling to pay-it-forward.

Drive-thru customers are particularly generous, and have been known to foot the bill for the orders of those behind them in the line, according to the company's website.
