Internet Revolts Against Local Car Dealership that Harassed Pizza Delivery Guy Over Tip

F&R Auto Sales in Westport, Mass. was flooded with negative reviews after a video showed workers berating the man over a $7 tip.

A local car dealership incurred the ire of the Internet after a video showed workers berating a pizza delivery driver over a $7 tip.

Workers at F&R Auto Sales can be seen in a video hassling the Pizza Palace driver after he dropped off their food order—only to drive back a second time when they called back and demanded he return with their change. The driver said he was told he could keep the change to begin with, but the workers disagreed in a decidedly unpleasant way.

Update: Fundraiser Nets $20K for Scorned Pizza Delivery Guy “It just doesn’t make sense why you’d hand me a bill that you were just gonna have me drive back here to give you back anyway,” said the driver, adding the whole situation was a “waste.”

"Tech guy did it on his own" seems to be their story. I think this is the most believable element of the dealership's side of the story (it doesn't really matter who posted the video, except in the "yes, we're evil, but we're not complete idiots" sort of way). The "tech guy" is the guy who yells at the end of the video, "we have you on video and audio." So, it seems reasonable to assume that he really likes his hi-tech surveillance system and wants to show it off.

We just got a very similar system at work a few months ago. It's an impressive setup for such a low cost (five wireless color cameras with audio, mounting hardware, and the necessary software for just over $300), and I wouldn't know how to upload video from it to the internet either.

I really love this story as a vindication of Adam Smith. The free market will take care of these jerks quite well: No need for gubmint intervention.

More than once I had to dig out exact change...

I think it's more fun to just pull out your wad of bills and cavalierly round up to the next dollar. Your enjoyment may be spoiled in situations where the customer is too math challenged to understand what you did.

I am so proud. In national surveys Massachusetts has always ranked below New York and New Jersey in competition for the rudest state. This will put us back in the game.

I have never tipped a pizza delivery man less than a deuce, and my orders are almost always small. I think I have had pizza delivered about four times in my 64+ years. I would hate to work with a bunch of jerks like them.

"All the time, there's always a problem, always an issue," cashier Lianette Hernandez told Boston.com. "We've been going back and forth with them for a long time."

Looks to me like these sleazeball used cars dealers have been getting their fun harassing the pizza drivers for a while

They will have plenty of time to do so because nobody will buys cars there. If they screw over a Pizza guy, what do they do to customers?

The Delivery man clearly explains why he assumed the $7.00 was a tip.

Why give him $50.00 in small bills that included a $5.00 when they are expecting $7.00 back.

It is obvious they were jerking him around.

You nailed it... I see girl wearing some goofwad hat like that and I instinctively know that she has a rotten soul, a mental defect, and a venereal disease.

if you think the first tape would vindicate them, why would you fire them?

Lucy might just come back and torch the place

Unless management tried to bury this or defame the driver, and they dealt with the jerk employees when they learned about what happened, then I don’t see what else they could do.

You can’t deal with something like this before it happens.
