Tip of a lifetime: Delivery driver's act of kindness goes global
A viral video of his extra soda stop led to a GoFundMe that raised more than $75,000, donors said.
- In Boise, Idaho, Domino driver Dan Simpson went out of his way to purchase a two-liter of Diet Coke for customer Brian Wilson after the restaurant ran out, an act captured on a Ring camera that went viral.
- Wilson and his wife are visually impaired, making late-night grocery trips difficult; Simpson's decision to stop at a store made the gesture significantly more meaningful to the couple.
- A video of the delivery went viral in March, prompting Wilson to set up a GoFundMe campaign that has grown to upwards of $75,000 since it was started on March 28.
- Donors from Germany, New Zealand, and Belgium have contributed to the fund, and Simpson recalled colleagues saying "You're famous, dude," when he walked into the store.
- Planning to retire by the end of April, Simpson reflected that "people need to see some good in the world" and advised, "If you see people struggling, try to give them a hand.
