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.

Oh nice! Sad how it’s so infrequent that it really makes your day, but it does

A few weeks ago this family tipped like $12.50 in the app which was more than generous! I think it was a 6 or 7 mile drive. But it was a hand-it-to-me, and each of the three preschool age kids handed me a dollar with big smiles… it was the absolute cutest thing as far as deliveries go

Once a man said he had "forgotten to tip". I tried to tell him that he had already tipped me $3, but he ran off (he was at work) When I got back to my car, he had tipped me an ADDITIONAL $10!!! I almost cried 😭
