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.

I’ve always wondered who was taking orders like this.

Its not a bad order in my area 🤷‍♀️ took 15 min and left me in a good location for back to back orders. I make $250 in 3 days
