Car Salesman Refrains from Tipping Delivery Guy Upon Hearing Just Two Words

An Ordinary Day He thought it was just another day. Delivering hot pizza was his daily routine. While James was convinced that nothing would surprise him anymore, he was about to find out otherwise. He knew he'd found what he was looking for as soon as he spotted the neon dealership sign. The delivery was even early, so there was plenty of time to spare. A living hell was about to set in for him when he was expected to feed hungry people. Unfriendly Pexels As James walked into the dealership, a hungry salesperson stood outside. It seemed most people avoided shopping for a car because of the gloomy and cloudy weather. It was also evident in faculty members' faces that they were affected by the weather. Neither of them seemed happy. While he expected pizza to cheer them up, he wasn't prepared for what he encountered. Walked Straight Into Hell Pexels Although James expected someone to approach him to take the pizzas, no one approached him; why? Taking a closer look around the dealership, he decided to continue walking. The reception desk looked familiar - surely it was where he needed to be? He realized he was walking into hell as he placed the pizza bag on the counter at the reception. Bitter People & Sour Face Pexels The receptionist looked sour as he smiled at her. "Who's hungry?" he asked. There was a mistake, wasn't there? She seemed unhappy, but why? Once James was finished, the rest of the salespeople gathered around him. He felt uncomfortable, to put it mildly. It was just the beginning of things, however. No Tip Pexels It was unclear who was paying, so the receptionist asked, "Who's paying?". There was a pooling of money when people pulled out their wallets. The receptionist presented James with the pooled money after a brief moment of relief. Even though there was no tip, the situation was far from over. Laughing To His Face Pexels When the receptionist saw James' less-than-happy expression, she said, "I'm glad we helped your boss. Get out now." James clenched his fists and the entire room laughed. His experience with such situations was not new. Now it would be their turn to pay for pushing him too far. Suddenly, their laughter turned to begging when he pulled something from his jacket pocket. James And His Parents Pexels The Winter family lived in Washington State throughout James' life. He has only done what he thought was fair since he graduated from high school. His passion was funded by a modest job in addition to paying rent. It was only through tips that he could make a living. It was inevitable that he would become a pizza delivery driver. How To Afford His Passion Pexels It was hard for James to fund his passion after paying rent. For the sake of an education, he saved money every week. He managed to make enough money to pay for his tuition and living expenses. He was determined to make it a success. He worked hard and never gave up. A college degree in art was of interest to James. Drawing and painting were his passions, but his parents couldn't afford to pay for his education. Scraping By Cents Pexels After a few months working at the pizzeria, James was struggling to make ends meet. There was a lack of business and undertipping made the situation look bleak. Despite sacrificing hard work to fund his passion, James maintained a positive attitude. In the end, he was certain that one delivery would change everything. He was determined to make it work and never gave up. But fate had other plans. Normal Day Pexels A call finally came after a slow week for the business. They sounded hungry from their order. For James, the opportunity seemed ideal. In this order, five large deluxe pizzas were ordered. It sounded like there would be a large tip considering the order was from a company. It was normal for them to tip generously. Fighting For Work Canva The observation was not only made by James, but also by others. Other delivery drivers waited around when they heard about it. The fight was one he knew he would have to win. Between James and the other driver, a compromise was reached. James would take the first delivery, and his colleague would take the second. In spite of this, he did not realize he shouldn't have taken it. Making The Delivery Canva It was not busy at the pizzeria, so the pizzas were cooked quickly. The car dealership was not far away either. There appeared to be no doubt about the payout. It didn't take long for the delivery bag to be filled with hot pizzas. It didn't take him long to get his bike running. It was impossible for him to know what he was getting into. Gloomy And Doomed Canva James had overlooked the weather due to his habit of waiting around. There was no pizza ordered outside due to the gloomy weather. The week had been filled with fierce storms, but he had to battle slippery roads and dangerous traffic to get to work. He was determined to make it to work no matter what. He was determined to make it there on time. He was determined to get his pizzas delivered. Where Is The Dealership Canva It was almost impossible to recognize the roads due to the rain and mist. In spite of the fact that his GPS indicated he was close, where was the place? He realized he had come to the right place when he saw the neon dealership sign. The delivery had already been made early, so there was no need to rush. Despite his expectations, he never got the big payout he hoped for. Getting To The Door Canva In front of the door, James parked his bike and took off his helmet. A protective bag kept the pizzas hot and safe inside while his face was exposed. Before regaining his balance, he nearly slipped on the wet pavement as he walked towards the door. Even though he was expecting a big tip, he should have expected the worst. Hungry And Rude Canva James found hungry salespeople waiting for him upon entering the dealership. Most people didn't seem interested in buying cars as the day turned gloomy and dark. Faculty members' faces also reflected the weather. There was nothing happy about them. The young man hoped a pizza would cheer them up, but he had no idea what he had walked into. It Was A Trap Canva A member of the group should have approached him and taken the pizzas, but none of them showed any interest; what was going on? As a result, he decided to go deeper into the dealership. There must be a reception desk somewhere, he thought to himself. As he approached the receptionist, he placed the pizza bag on the counter. Mistakes Were Made Canva A sour look appeared on the receptionist's face as he asked, "Who's hungry?". Is it possible that a mistake has occurred? Did she have a reason for being unhappy? There was a gathering of other salespeople around James. A mild way of putting it would be to say that it made him uncomfortable. Things had just begun. Who's Paying? Canva The receptionist asked, "Okay, who's paying?". Is there a reason they didn't know? As soon as that happened, the staff began pulling out their wallets and pooling their money. Upon receiving the money, James was relieved for a moment, but he couldn't believe what he had just heard. Despite the lack of a tip, there was still much to be done. He Was Made A Laughing Stock Canva "Well, I'm glad we're giving your boss business," said the receptionist. James felt anger rising inside him, but the receptionist would not let him off the hook. James clenched his fists in laughter as he heard the receptionist's comment. It was only fair that he dealt with them the way he did. Another Plan Canva Whenever he found himself in a situation like this, he had a backup plan. Now they would pay for pushing him too far. In his jacket's pocket, he gripped his hand tightly. He contemplated whether or not to use it. Hearing the choked laughter, he still felt that they deserved it. They would soon stop laughing. The Piece Of Paper Canva When he pulled out the paper, he fought back tears as he showed it to the receptionist. It was important to him that he communicated his feelings clearly to her. Although he was confident that they would understand, he knew it was a risk. He slammed the paper on the counter and told the receptionist to look at it. As she read the note, she took a deep breath. Terror Struck Canva As soon as the receptionist read the note, she immediately changed her cold demeanor. There was a look of horror on her face, and the rest of the dealership seemed equally concerned. They had caused James irreparable damage, and he would not be swayed. Watching her stare at him as the rest of the company talked, he waited for her to talk. Hear Me Out Canva Her voice was shaken as she apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't know." He was glad she had realized her error, but how about the other staffers? As soon as the receptionist gave him the paper back, she told everyone not to laugh. He appeared to have her on his side as soon as he shared some inside information with her. Audible Chaos Canva The commotion was overheard by a figure of importance in the back office. It was obvious that he was in charge of the dealership. After seeing James with the pizza order, the man said that he would reimburse everyone for the cost. James was surprised when he was handed a roll of dollar bills by the man. The man grabbed a slice of pizza after winking at him. Pondering Over The Paper Canva James couldn't believe what he saw. Due to his risky play, they not only understood his position; the boss also gave him the tip he deserved. As he hopped back on his bike, he remembered the piece of paper in his jacket pocket. His efforts were congratulated by the pizzeria's owner. According to reports, the receptionist called his boss to thank him for his hard work and thank him for all his efforts. From His Pocket Canva As James took a well-earned rest, he smiled. On the table, he unfolded a piece of paper during his meal. On the attached photo, there is a familiar-looking woman. It was right next to a prescription he would have to pick up at the pharmacy on the way home. He would have to pay for it himself since the woman did not have the money. Filling The Perscription Canva Upon finishing his shift, James went to the chemist to get what he needed. With the large tip he received at the dealership, he was able to pay for everything. The medication called "Doxorubicin" he received would enable him to help the woman in the photograph. He was determined to make sure the woman received the help she needed. Going Home Canva James found dinner ready when he arrived home. His father received a portion of the tip for rent while his mother was cooking dinner. He complimented her scarf and embraced her. She smiled back with a bittersweet look in her eyes. He pulled out the medication from behind his back at that moment. Sweet Mom Canva A glance at the medication brought tears to her eyes. “How did you manage to afford this? James simply replied, "I want you to get better, Mom, it’s not about money.". She embraced him again, tears streaming from her eyes. James was only concerned about the medication working. She could always count on him for help whenever she needed it.
