Alek Krautmann is a considerate employee who always tries to encourage his coworkers. He has been working with the current staff for a few months, and he is getting to know them better with each passing day.

Recently, Alek performed yet another act of kindness for his hungry coworkers. He brought in bagels for everyone to share. Instead of only buying a few bagels that everyone had to share, Alek purchased enough for everyone to have their favorite bagel.

Before heading into work that day, Alek stopped by his local Panera Bread. He purchased two boxes full of fresh bagels.

Instead of buying a bunch of plain bagels, Alek decided to make the gesture a little more special. He got a perfect assortment of many different kinds of bagels.

There were sesame bagels, everything bagels, plain bagels, and more. This variety ensured that nobody would feel left out.

Alek's coworkers expected that day to unravel like any other. They were preparing their shop for the morning rush of customers when Alek arrived.

His coworkers were elated to see Alek's surprise. There were audible cheers and high-fives everywhere. Before Alek let his coworkers feast on the bagels, he wanted to take a photo of the generous gift.

He posted the picture to Twitter to share with his followers. In the caption, Alek explained that he had the bagel's sliced like bread. He said that this was a secret from St. Louis.

His coworkers were confused at the unusual slicing, but they quickly fell in love with the idea.

Within a few hours of posting, the hashtag 'bagelgate' was trending on Twitter.

This hilarious reference received a lot of attention online.

Most bagels have one horizontal slice through the middle. This creates two halves that are equal in size. Many people like to spread cream cheese or place vegetables on top of these two slices.

This slicing technique even allows people to use bagels in lieu of bread on sandwiches. Alek opted for a different method of slicing for these bagels.

They were sliced into multiple verticle sections like bread. This allowed his colleagues to have several slices of each bagel.

The video of Alek's kind gesture and unique slicing method has been featured in several news outlets and throughout all major social media platforms. Some people are embracing the slicing technique, and others despise it as much as pineapple on pizza. What are your thoughts?
