A California Chick-fil-A employee is going viral after he intervened and saved a man's life when he was experiencing a cardiac arrest.

The Chick-fil-A Eastlake Terraces' Facebook page recounted the harrowing incident in a post and praised team leader Tauya Nenguke for his quick thinking. According to the post, Tauya was working at the drive-thru when he noticed something "suspicious" in the parking lot outside the restaurant. He ran to find out what was happening and saw a man on the ground. He began giving his chest compressions as he instructed others to call 911. Paramedics arrived and the man ultimately lived.

"The EMT stated that if it wasn’t for his quick action, this young man might not have survived," the post read.

The post went on to say that the incident was "confirmation of [Tauya's] calling to become a RN" and when speaking to KGTV about the incident, he told them he felt like he was supposed to be there to help.

"I knew that was the place where God placed me at that time," he told them. "This was honestly a really big calling to be in health care because it was like instinct took over."

If that story alone wasn't enough to bring you to tears, this may be the only time in recorded history when reading the internet comments is actually a good thing. The comments on the Facebook post are filled with customers praising Tauya and sharing their own positive experiences with him.

"What an AWESOME young man! Always shows STAR Customer Service Skills, Super Friendly and kind manners. Thank you! You are an ANGEL," one person wrote.

"This guy is great! He always provides excellent customer service when I go there! Way to go!" another wrote.

Similarly, another Chick-fil-A employee, Hunter Harris, went viral after he saved a customer from choking...and it was apparently his second time doing so. All in a day's work for Chick-fil-A employees apparently!
