A heartwarming video of a McDonald’s employee has taken the internet by storm. Richard Walker, a cheerful employee at the McDonald’s branch on London’s Liverpool Street, has captured the hearts of customers with his musical talents. While waiting for customers’ orders to be cooked, Richard serenades them with his incredible singing.
In a TikTok video that has amassed over 631,000 views, Richard can be seen picking up a microphone and delivering a soulful rendition of Montell Jordan’s “This is How We Do It.” As his fellow employees work diligently on fulfilling orders, Richard’s melodic voice fills the restaurant, instantly brightening everyone’s day.
Richard has aptly nicknamed himself the “Liverpool Street McD’s pro noise maker” or the McMC. He has a modest following of less than 1500 on his TikTok account, @ukrichardwalker, and has only shared two videos. However, he has already become a viral sensation due to his infectious positivity and exceptional performances.
Word of Richard’s performances has spread rapidly, with people expressing their excitement to visit Liverpool Street in the hopes of experiencing his musical talents firsthand. One viewer commented, “I know what I’ll be doing at lunchtime next week! I expect some singing.” Another person exclaimed, “I need to go to this McDonald’s!”
Richard’s second video showcases a packed McDonald’s in the evening, where he again shares his gift with the customers waiting patiently for their meals. Singing along to Bruno Mars’ “Just The Way You Are,” Richard not only entertains but also encourages the customers to join in on the fun.
With over 500 messages flooding his TikTok account, Richard has received an outpouring of support and admiration for bringing joy to McDonald’s customers and staff. One commenter expressed their desire for Richard to remain in his current role, saying, “The only reason I don’t want this guy to get promoted to regional is so that he can stay in Maccy D’s bringing joy to the customers and staff.”
Richard’s magnetic personality and incredible musical talent have transformed the McDonald’s experience for those fortunate enough to witness it. His performances continue to spread smiles and uplift spirits, making him a local hero at Liverpool Street.
