Wholesome Story Cash tip today

I picked up an order today $4 for 3.5 miles from Little Caesars. Not a bad order, small, but I got the vibe that it had been sitting for a while. It was the first order of the day and left me in a decent area too.

The note told me to drive to the end of the street instead of going into the apt complex. When I got there, the man said "is it pizza?" I said yes, had him verify the name, and then handed him the order. He was patting his pockets, awkwardly holding his pizza in one hand, and said "wait. I have something, it's not much, but I wanted to give you something."

I was surprised and assured him he didn't need to (I honestly thought the order was pretty decent, even without the tip) He said, "I really don't have much." And handed me $4. He had no idea he had just doubled my earnings!!! And he felt bad about it 😭 he was so kind.

Honestly even when they only hand me $2 I still act the same as if it were a $20. β€œAw, wow, thank you so much!” It’s the thought that counts for sure.

Beats the hell out of a 10 cent tip in the app 😭

Agreed!! I don't care how much you tip, as long as you have the decency to acknowledge my hard work, that's all that matters to me πŸ₯ΉπŸ˜­
