A video which shows a Subway worker, who was seen looking after a baby while on shift, has sparked a lot of online debates.
The video posted on TikTok shows the working dad with a baby strapped to his chest quickly went viral online and gained over 3 million views since it was posted.

The video is set to I’m A Survivor by Reba McIntyre, captioned “Single mom thingz.”
Although it might look like he’s the father of the baby, this man is believed to be simply an old colleague of the woman filming…
Reportedly, Leslie Munoz, the baby’s mother who once worked alongside the man at the Subway, asked him to hold her son while she ate.
Munoz said: “[The old co-worker] was so excited and strapped him on,”
She added: “He then proceed to make my sandwich, but as soon as a customer came in he was given back to me,”.
However, many TikTok users seems to get the wrong end of the stick with Munoz’s video, with many people asking her for the man’s GoFundMe, insisting “he deserves help.”
Some people commented giving their support and well wishes for the “hardworking father”… Here are some comments:
“If I saw this at a local Subway, I would not be bothered. Sometimes childcare falls through.”
“Can we normalize this,”
“There shouldn’t have to be a choice between taking care of the child and making money to care for the child.”
And as it turns out, Subway doesn’t offer paid maternity leave, therefore it’s definitely something that needs to be brought up. In particular, Munoz thinks it’s amazing that the “video was able to start so many conversations” about this issue.
