Watch: Cafe Worker Helps Wheelchair-Bound Patron Get Home In Pouring Rain

Frankie, the bartender, went beyond his call of duty to help the customer reach home

A video is going viral on the internet of a bartender removing a patio umbrella to escort a patron on a wheel-chair home during torrential rain in Ireland. It shows the patron rolling down his wheel-chair on a wet road, as the young bartender holds the gigantic umbrella to shield both of them from the rain and wind. Sharing the video on Twitter, former professional American basketball player Rex Chapman asked his followers to be like Frankie, the barman, suggesting it does not do any harm to be a "Frankie" every once in a while. Dublin, Ireland:The bartender of The Pines Cafe Bar - Frankie - removed a patio umbrella to escort a patron home in the pouring rain.Be kind. Be a Frankie…pic.twitter.com/m4M56PFu97 Typical Irish. ☘️ Frankie is a kind soul. I know it is the wind hitting the umbrella making the bartender walking that crooked line but I would like to think it was because he was drinking too. I've been escorted out of many bars, but never as nicely as this. If you drink at the same pub every day for 55 years, you unlock the Diamond level of barfly status! That's how we roll in Ireland Rex!????☂️ This doesn't surprise me at all and brings a smile. I lived there for a few years; so many wonderful people. My husband (Irish) and my daughter are there right now. His 90 year old father passed away today…grateful they could travel and be with family. This is why I love the Irish/Scottish! He had proper home training! Something tells me Frankie didn't really care how far the old man lived, just as long as he got there dry as a bone and safe Well done, Frankie. Any locals, please give him my regards. — a humbled American This little man dancing with the big folks is the Twitter content I'm here for… pic.twitter.com/ikpuHdM8CC Frankie works at The Pines Cafe Bar in Dublin and went beyond his call of duty to help the customer reach home.
