The Pizza delivery guy

[Miss Chicken]

The following video has gone viral.

Jarrid Tansey delivered pizzas to to a used car dealership. The total price for the pizzas was just under $43. Tansey was handed two twenties and two fives and thereby assumes that the additional $5 and the change from the other $5 note was a tip and left the dealership.

The staff of the dealership phoned the Pizza Palace complaining that they didn't get their change and the manager got Tansey to drive all the way back and give them back $7 and some coins. the manager of the dealership put a video of the exchange up on YouTube (it has since been made private).

What do people here think of the behaviour of the salespeople and the reaction of the delivery man?

Do these people live on Mars?

At first I assumed it was a local story you had posted, and I'm not sure how gratuity is handled down there. But it's Massachusetts. Tipping the deliver guy is SOP.

It's custom to tip 15-20% of the bill. And oh my God. $7 is just about 17%. How utterly wretched of him to assume.

I would never buy a car from that dealership. If they treat the pizza delivery guy that badly, just think how much worse they treat their own customers!

 

[Miss Chicken]

I think the salespeople deliberately set him up so they could embarrass him by putting the video online. It certainly has backfired on them as public sympathy is on the delivery guy's side.

The guy works full time delivering pizza and also has another 20 hour a week job.

A former waitress started a GoFundMe campaign to 'help the guy get his tip'. She started it off aiming to raise $3000 for him but now more than $30000 has been raised. Most people are donating in increments of $7.

The woman in green has been fired for swearing. I think the manager should be fired as well. He encouraged the situation and most likely put the video online or agreed to it being put online.

What a bunch of assholes.

I wish I could watch TV at work like the bald guys does.

Morons. So they gave him no tip at all, and gave him the seven bucks just to fuck with him. On the rare occasions when I get delivery, I tip by at least 25%. That's a worse gig than newspaper delivery.

One of the commenters posted the telephone number of the place and called to ask if they deliver.

The GoFundMe campaign is a great idea. That's the sort of thing that makes me love humanity, despite the existence of congenital idiots like the ones in the video.

 

[RJDiogenes]

Aw, too bad. They shut down donations (at the guy's request). He got almost $32,000, though.

I looked at the finance manager's (Michael Ramos) Facebook page. He is the black guy who threatens to phone boss in an effort to get to get Tansey fired, Ramos's page is filled with Christian memes but he seems like a very poor example of a Christian to me. He, and his friends, are trying to blame Tansey and some of his friends have commented that it is disgusting the money has been raised for Tansey. They has also been accusations that TAnsey was responsible for filming the incident and putting the video on YouTube despite there being no possible way for Tansey to have done this.

And then to show Ramos up even more his step-daughter posted that he was a deadbeat father who owed thousands in child support for her little sister. Ramos reply to that was anything but Christian (he has since deleted that conversation from his Facebook page)

Very first thing i thought of. Looks like a small POS dealership anyway.

A quick look on google shows the place F&R Auto Sales. Gets a one star. Not shocking at all based on that video.

I can't stand customers who decide they want to have someone fired. Every one has bad days. Intentionally trying to get them fired just makes you an arse. Put a complaint in. If it's a regular problem, they'll lose their job. If it isn't, they don't deserve to. Either way, you're not the centre of the world and you'll survive the bad experience.

It's also rather useless in my experience. I work customer service, have for 12 years. Not once has a customer complaint actually resulted in any sort of disciplinary action. Working in a call centre the usual response is to put the phone down and walk away. There isn't even a single comment made. Why? Because I give good service and one customer saying otherwise doesn't change that.

I'm glad people got behind the driver. He didn't deserve to get shafted tip wise, he didn't deserve to have people trying to take his job and he certainly didn't deserve them putting this on the net to make him look like a fool.

The salespeople were utter assholes and the dealership should be blacklisted by the pizza shop.

When they handed him the original money he had even confirmed with them before leaving that the extra $5 was a tip, otherwise why would they give it to him?!

Seriously, they're all huge cunts (apologize for the word use, but in this extreme circumstance I think the word applies.) The name and location of the dealership has gone viral so hopefully the place will loose business.

For me? Whenever I order a pizza I always give a $5 tip.

 

[Alidar Jarok]

Yeah, that extra five is clearly a tip. It's reasonable to think the tip is seven under the circumstances, but the worst case is to think it's just the five and he owed two. It makes no sense to give an extra five dollar bill there otherwise. So yeah, they're clearly assholes.

I hope the dealership goes bust and they're all unemployed by the end of the month.

I am happy that the delivery guy was provided for by the community. It seems the car dealership was hoping to create a 'viral video', and for once being terrible people backfired on them.

 

[Taylirious]

Being mean about it usually does backfire. If they were going for a "viral video" they should have tipped him with a nice car. That would have been fun, good for the guy and positive for the business.

That would have been a good idea, but it seems like they were horrible people, so they probably would have never thought about that.

I would of kept the donations going.... How much does it cost to go to a good college/university in the US like Harvard or Yale? I'm glad the delivery guy kept his cool by not cussing at those jerks.
