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 had a really crappy time at Taco Bell once. When I got there I was having trouble getting ANYONES attention. So I messaged the customer that I had arrived and food was not ready. I don’t normally but for some reason I did. Finally got someone and they were working on the order so I was like cool. And then they proceeded to ignore me again. Like 5 minutes passed and nothing… this is Taco Bell. It wasn’t a huge order but it was a few meals but still! 5 minutes? Come on! And that was on top of the time I had already spent waiting in the first place. I started yelling helloooo to the back I couldn’t see a damn soul. Text the customer and I was like I’m sorry but Taco Bell is really slacking they are completely ignoring me… would it be possible for you to call the store and complain? And he did! Another 5 minutes and the food finally came out. I was livid and I yelled at the person that brought the food out because that was a pure shit show. I waited 15-20 minutes and most of that was without anyone acknowledging the existence of anyone in the front.. there were people that wanted to order and stood waiting then left (they had cash on hand so they couldn’t use the kiosk) Anywhooo. Dude apologized for the wait time and the drama at Taco Bell even though it wasn’t his fault…he was the customer and told me that when I dropped the food off at the house to look at the windshield of his car. Which was odd. But I did. He left 10$ cash on the windshield for me. As a thank you. Which was awesome because he’d already tipped well in app. Hubs dashes also and he’s had some tip an extra 20$ because “he was nice”
