A group of employees at a local A&W gifted their "work mom" their wages so she could spend more time off with her newborn baby.
MILL BAY, B.C. — If you ask Lisa Armstrong about the best thing about her job, she’ll answer without hesitation.
“The guests and the staff are like family,” Lisa says, while taking orders at the local A&W restaurant.
It’s a fast-food family that includes teenage co-workers who are quick to consider Lisa “like a mom.”
“She’s always trying to brighten our day and make us laugh,” Shayla Symes says.
“And she’s one of the most caring people,” Noah Poehkle adds. “A very selfless person.”
So you can imagine how they all felt when Lisa announced their family was expanding and she was pregnant.
“It was very exciting,” Jillyse Fisher smiles.
