Westport Car Dealership Messes With Pizza Delivery Guy

For those of you reading my blog and don't have any clue on this trending news story please click this link, read the article and watch the short clip. 

Who doesn't tip their pizza deliver man? If you are one of those, shame on you. We live in a world where nothing is free not even the delivery of your pizza. Money is what makes the world go, and even categorizes us according to our wealth. 
Jarrid Tansey is more than just a delivery driver in my eyes. After being humiliated and harassed in an office full of arrogance he stands up for himself in a very professional manner while getting the point he needed across, not to mention drawing national news in a positive manner all on his side. 
It was hard to find a news post that didn't say the same thing (conveying the story and sharing the video) but i did find this

just a few paragraphs down that Palace Pizza called Jarrid's boss and shared with him their thoughts. (Which of course was a bunch of) But Jarrid's boss stood by his side saying that past encounters with them have been the same. I thought this was awesome that his boss stood by his side, did not apologize and said that he won't be working with them again. In my eyes this happens only in rare occasions because the customer always comes first (Even I have learned this while working in sales positions)

The Link above not only humbled him but also humbled me. This article shows his true side and what a honest/nice person that he is. Amanda Rogers created a GoFund me account in Jarrids name for those that would like to give him the tip he should have got from the dealer ship. Here is the link if you would like to donate to his fund. But please read the link above to see how he has responded to this donation.

Wow are you not in awwwww…..
         The article he states in different words that he works two jobs and sticks to his routine. This helps him stay grounded and to not loose focus. With all the news and press on this story he has tried to stay humble and not let this change his life or him.

Lastly he states, "I just want to say I hold no grudges and I project no negativity towards anybody including F & R. I believe in karma. I just want to stay humble through all this because that's how a human should act day to day. I'm glad that - a lot of times bad news travels fast. In this case it seems like good news is traveling faster than the bad news." –Jarrid Tansey

If this does not show you what kind of person he really is then you have a problem because most people would bash the company that offended them and try to take them down with as much force as possible. This has given me a new outlook on how to handle situations and how to look at the positive outcomes even if others are hurting me. I have been in situations where I have not wanted to tip my waiter/server. Cab driver, or someone that has done a service for me that I felt didn’t meet my expectations. But who am I to say that my expectation is better than theirs. Jarrid said that karma would get them for what they had done to him. Do you believe this? I sure do, they have something in store for them to teach them a valuable lesson.

I just have to remember that feeling I get when I received a tip from a client for a job well done or an extra thank you. It means the world to me. This story is still going through the press and it will be interesting to watch and see the final end result and if it becomes more popular than it already is.


Be sure to check out the >>Go Fund link<< and donate even a dollar, lets be part of an awesome cause that could have easily been solved with the 7 dollar tip that he deserved.
