The internet can be a really mean place! Netizens are no less than Satan when it comes to trolling but they also turn out to be the angels when they come across a heartwarming story.
A Twitter user, Billy shared a post on the microblogging site which has received a massive response. His dad recently opened an eatery called Billy’s Donuts, in Texas. He shared some pictures of his dad’s store which had a beautiful interior with variety of donuts.
The cute little eatery looked all decked up to begin but the only thing missing was – customers!
The pictures had no customers in sight with only Billy’s dad standing behind the counter with a disappointed face. Sharing the photographs, he wrote, “My dad is sad cause no one is coming to his new donut shop.”

People were touched by his post and decided to do their bit for him.
They began sharing the post on Twitter which in no time reached over 250k retweets. YouTube star Casey Neistat also came across the post and promoted Billy’s Donuts through his own Twitter account.

His dad’s donut store saw many visitors the very next day itself. He again shared a picture of him with his dad and this time, there were no sad faces but only smiles!
