The Story Of How a Pizza Delivery Boy Got a $1,268 Tip

Pizza happens to be the best invention of mankind since Fire was discovered. There appear to be thousands of (if not millions) of pizzerias located all across the globe. You now have the luxury of ordering pizza online from the comfort of your home. It is an undeniable part of the Food & Beverage industry.


Hence, it is not surprising when students of a prestigious university decided to surprise a pizza delivery boy. This sheer act of humanity left many including the delivery guy speechless. In fact, after a brief ceremony where the tip worth $1,268 was given to the delivery guy, James Gilpin, stated in an interview, “I was just in awe and really couldn't say much.”

James Gilpin went on to deliver the pizzas just like any other day not expecting such turn of events. When asked what he was going to do with the money, he said that he was planning to get his car fixed and buy extravagant gifts for his two kids for Christmas. A student at the university named Jim Lo shared, “We can do little things together which can add up to a big thing that will encourage other people to do something similar.”

When James arrived on the campus, he was directly taken to the stage and it is at this point that he admits he knew something was up. The speaker then proceeded to announce how he was being given a $1,268 tip along with gift cards and various notes written by the students of that university. Gilpin admitted towards the end that the notes written by various students brought tears to his eyes and will stick with him for a lifetime. This gesture by the students and administrative staff at the university was noted by many local newspapers and it gained the spotlight in various national tabloids as well.

This is the magic of the cheesy pie, it brings everyone together. If reading this story has brought on a craving for pizza, you can order pizza online, through The Golden Crust.
