A viral video of a Burger King employee expressing appreciation for a modest gift bag he got from colleagues on his 27th work anniversary sparked an outpouring of generosity online, with more than $345,000 in donations—and counting.

Kevin Ford, who spent nearly three decades working as a cook at the Burger King restaurant at Las Vegas McCarren International Airport, was given a goodie bag with a movie ticket, some candy, a coffee cup, a lanyard, and two pens to mark his work anniversary.
