Marie, Ont., initially appeared to be a prank – but the story took a heartwarming turn thanks to the owner and an anonymous good Samaritan. On Thursday, the restaurant prepared a substantial order – including 10 Double Stackburgers, 5 Stackburgers, 5 cheeseburgers, 5 chicken sandwiches, 5 poutines, 5 to 10 orders of fries and 20 milkshakes – for a 1:30 p.m. pickup. When no one arrived, staff tried calling the provided number, only to find it out of service. Stackburger - $439.20 Order A large $439.20 takeout order prepared at Stackburger in Sault Ste.

'Going forward, we will have to make changes for large call-in orders.' The restaurant, which regularly handles big takeout orders, had never encountered such an issue in its 10 years of operation. Despite the disappointment, owner Kevin Syrette ensured the food didn't go to waste. The burger joint donated the entire $439.20 order to Pauline's Place, a local shelter for women, youth and families experiencing homelessness.

Hours after sharing the incident online, an unexpected visitor arrived at the restaurant. According to Syrette, a person who had seen the social media post asked about the unclaimed order's total. 'My cashier was like, 'No, no, it's okay,'' the owner recounted. But the individual insisted, paying the full $439.20 while requesting anonymity.

'We feel this act of kindness speaks volumes to our community.' Truly a story of community support The incident highlighted both the challenges small businesses face and the generosity of the community. While the original caller – who identified themselves as 'Chris' – never returned, the anonymous payment and donation to Pauline's Place turned a frustrating situation into a positive outcome for the Steel City. 'With the help of our Stackburger family, we were able to turn a negative experience into a positive,' the restaurant said.
