When the coronavirus outbreak prevented a California family from visiting Target and Starbucks together, Diego Gonzalez decided to bring his daughter's favorite stores to her instead.
On his days off from his job as a Kern County police officer, Diego Gonzalez built a Target cash register and a Starbucks stand for his daughter, Mila, who loves going into both stores.
"The end result really made us proud of what we did and seeing how happy she was playing with it made it all worth it," Gonzalez told Insider. "Especially now, when you can't go out to get distracted and everyone has to be indoors, making that easier on my daughter was worth it."
Gonzalez was also committed to making sure the details were perfect, from Mila's Target name tag and "employee of the month" plaque to a miniature coffee maker toy, fake mini cake pops, and real Starbucks aprons.
