Grocery Store Employee Shames Troll After Cruel Prank
Supporters donated nearly $300,000 to a Michigan grocery worker after the prank video went viral, with more than 7,800 contributions, organizers said.
- A GoFundMe campaign has raised more than $330,000 for Walt Z, a Michigan Red Baron employee harassed by an Instagram prankster while stocking frozen pizzas at a grocery store.
- During the incident, the prankster played a fake Apple Pay sound to simulate stealing $10, provoking Walt, who explained he was an hour past his shift and struggling to support four children.
- On Tuesday, Luke Oakenshield launched the fundraiser, writing that it aims to "stand up for a working person who is busting their butt and should not have to fear losing stability because someone wanted content and clicks."
- CJ Schwan's, Red Baron's parent company, confirmed ongoing support for the employee, while organizers noted Thursday that GoFundMe is transferring all funds to him as the family requests privacy.
- Conservative commentator Benny Johnson amplified the story online, helping supporters rally behind the worker and overwhelmingly reject the prankster's behavior as the fundraiser gained momentum.
