$30,000 raised for pizza delivery man berated by customers over tip
A fundraising campaign has pulled in more than $30,000 for a Massachusetts pizza delivery man after video showing him being treated shabbily by staff at a car lot went viral online.
When Jarrid Tansey delivered pizza to F and R Auto Sales, a used car dealership in Westport, Mass., staff there handed him two $20 bills and two $5 bills on a $42 tab. After he left, the customers called Tansey’s employer, Pizza Palace, and demanded that he return with the extra cash they had given him.
Surveillance video footage shows Tansey returning to the car dealership and giving back the money. But he asks why they would hand him the extra $5 bill if they didn’t want to provide a tip. Tansey says he even clarified the tip amount before leaving.
“It just doesn’t make sense why you would hand me a bill if you’re just going to have me drive back here to give it back anyway,” Tansey can be heard saying to an unidentified man sitting at a desk.
The man responds by saying that he gave Tansey everything the group had pooled together in “order to get the correct change.”
“So, you gave me a five dollar bill that (I) would have to turn back?” Tansey asks.
The verbal pile-on then begins, with other workers berating and threatening Tansey.
“The manager apologized once for you, do you want him to apologize again for you?” the man at the desk says, before threatening to shame Tansey by releasing the security footage of the conversation.
As Tansey leaves the room, a female staff member can be heard saying, “Out the door before I put my foot in your ***.”
According to news reports, the video of the incident was originally posted on YouTube and was later made private – but not before the internet caught on.
In the wake of the video’s release, the dealership has reportedly been flooded with negative comments on online business reviews, including on Yelp.
A copy of the original video posted on the GoFundMe page had more than 600,000 views on YouTube by Sunday evening.
“I believe Jarrid should be rewarded for dealing with such crappy people,” the GoFundMe webpage read. “Even if it is $1, it will make up (maybe a little) for him having to deal with idiots like this.”
After racking up more than $30,000, the online campaign was closed for donations, reportedly at the request of Tansey himself.
In a statement, F and R Auto Sales issued a public apology to Tansey “for the actions that led to this situation, this embarrassing video gone viral on the internet.”
The statement also said that the dealership owner was not present during the incident, and that the female worker who insulted Tansey has been fired.
“The other gentleman that was belittling the man in the video was not an employee of F and R Auto Sales and had no permission or authorization to release any security footage,” the statement read.
