Now for your daily dose of feels.
Sam, a Starbucks barista with autism in Toronto, went viral after the dance moves that help keep him focused throughout his shift were caught on camera.
Ellen DeGeneres invited both him and Chris, the Starbucks manager who hired him, onto her daytime talk show to meet them and give them some special gifts. She got some help from the Toronto Raptors' Kyle Lowry, DeMar DeRozan, and general manager Masai Ujiri.
Sam didn't walk away empty-handed either - he's going on a trip to Japan.
