“Throwing money on the ground for gas station worker,” reads the caption posted along with the video. The clip opens to show the station worker filling up the tank of a car. Once she finishes, she closes the fuel tank cover and goes towards the front of the car to collect the payment. However, instead of handing her the notes, the person inside the car throws it on the ground and drives off. The woman is then seen picking up the notes from the ground. And the heartbreaking part comes after this as she ends up crying after picking the money.
