Dana White Steps Up For Fast Food Worker Who Wouldn't Quit His Job For $100K

Uncle Dana White has done it again. 

The Chairman of the Board at the UFC, or whatever they call him these days, stepped up for an El Pollo Loco worker who refused to quit his job on the spot when Instagram influencer "Prop God" offered the worker $100k to walk out. 

In a video posted over the weekend, Prop God, a sports gambling influencer, pulls up to the drive-thru window at the El Pollo Loco and whips out a stack of money and tells the worker it's his, if he quits. 

It's quite the proposition, but the worker refuses to bite. 

"I'm good," the worker tells Prop God, who pushes back and offers the money again. 

"There's only three people here today, otherwise…" the worker sheepishly replies. "I don't want to leave them suffering."

Prop God keeps pushing. What if he quits and gives the workers a couple of grand on the way out the door. 

"I'd still feel bad," the worker adds. 

The video gets posted to Instagram, Dana White catches wind of this worker's loyalty towards his coworkers and decides to do what Uncle Dana has been known to do.

"That kids got integrity. He’s a good human. He cared that his co workers would have suffered. I’m giving him 15k for being a BAD ASS SOLID HUMAN. Good things happen to GOOD people," Dana wrote on Instagram. 

On Tuesday, Dana, who also made headlines over the weekend for posting a video of a FedEx delivery driver who was ultimately fired for launching boxes into a truck, made good on his promise. The employee received two stacks of bills and El Pollo Loco couldn't have been prouder. 

"Our team members are second to none! We couldn't be prouder!" the Loco social media team replied.

Was this some sort of social media setup as a way to promote El Pollo Loco? 

I hate to be jaded. Deep down, I want to believe that this worker turned down $100k to keep slinging tacos and working hard for somewhere around $20 an hour or whatever Loco is paying its workers. 

It's just hard to not be a little bit skeptical. 

Based on a $20/hour wage, it would've taken this guy 5,000 to earn $100k. 

That's not the most difficult math in the world, but I think you need to see it with your own eyes to appreciate turning down $100k. There's a good chance this guy isn't putting in 40-hour weeks slinging tacos, which makes this even more impressive. We could be talking 3-3 ½ years of salary that he said no to. 

I want to believe in my heart that this wasn't some sort of plant. 

Dana, promise me I'm not being fooled. Please! 

Would you quit your fast food job if a guy stuck $100k in your face?
