GoFundMe Started For Domino's Delivery Driver Who Didn’t Get Tipped

A GoFundMe page has been set up after a video of a Domino's delivery driver went viral, in which he vents his frustration at not being given a tip:

The fundraising page has been set up under the name of Malik Ambersley, who claims to be the guy in the clip. He has set a goal of $200 (£140).

Malik explained: "This money will be used for car maintenance for work and paying the money forward to others who need it as well... I'm not selfish, thank you for all your support and to delivery service and any first responders."

In the clip, which surfaced on TikTok, the driver was frustrated after receiving no tip for a delivery, despite standing out in the rain for 'five minutes'.

A voice can be heard in the footage telling the driver: "Bro, just calm down. You've gotta take more deliveries."

The driver then shouts back: "I don't want to work here anymore. Five minutes out there in the rain and no tip?"

He then lashes out angrily at the stack of empty boxes beside him, with several toppling to the floor.

The video, which is captioned 'This is why you should tip your drivers', has been viewed 1.6 million times and has almost 200,000 likes.

There are also more than 17,000 comments, with many saying they totally understood the man's pain. One user wrote: "If you can't tip then don't order out. Literally in a pandemic lmao."

Another person agreed, writing: "To the people who are complaining about leaving a tip... you simply shouldn't eat out or maybe go pick it up yourself. Drivers rely on tips!!"

But not everyone took the same stance, with others arguing that takeaways were 'already expensive' as it is, or that employers should be the ones to ensure workers are paid enough.

One person said: "Honestly tho tipping is a broken system no one should rely on tips, companies start paying ur workers brah."

Another added: "Corporations use the tipping system to underpay their workers. Do away with tipping and pay people enough to live."

Replying to one TikToker, the user who shared the video explained how even a token amount of cash would have helped - or simply the acknowledgement of his hard work.

He commented: "Yes it can if she would've given me a dollar or even apologised for the rain that I'm soaked in I woulda been fine."
