Wilson\u2019s door-step camera caught the moment Simpson handed over the order and explained what he\u2019d done.<\/p>\n
The grateful customer told the driver he hadn\u2019t needed to go to that trouble, and asked whether there was a way to add to his tip, saying he deserved more than he\u2019d already been given.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, you don\u2019t need to. It\u2019s a good tip,\u201d Simpson said in a video of the doorbell footage and posted to TikTok.<\/p>\n
Wilson decided to post the door camera footage to social media, which has now been liked more than 600,000 times.<\/p>\n
When the video started to do well, Wilson launched a GoFundMe page for Simpson called Tip for Dan the Pizza Man\u2019s Retirement.<\/p>\n
The campaign has so far raised US$112,146 ($195,862).<\/p>\n
\u201cLast night, something simple turned into something really special, and we can\u2019t stop thinking about it,\u201d Wilson wrote on the GoFundMe page.<\/p>\n
He wrote he was \u201cblown away\u201d when Simpson arrived at his door with the Diet Coke, despite it being a busy night of deliveries.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the surface, it probably looked like such a small gesture,\u201d Wilson told the Idaho Statesman.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut to us, it felt like so much more than that. That kind of thoughtfulness and personal care just feels so rare these days.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was one of those moments that instantly remind you there are still genuinely good people out there who go above and beyond simply because they care.\u201d<\/p>\n
Simpson said he thought nothing of the interaction and returned to work the next day. When he walked in the store he found out the news.<\/p>\n
\u201cMan, you\u2019re famous, dude,\u201d said a younger colleague, the Idaho Statesman reported.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wilson\u2019s door-step camera caught the moment Simpson handed over the order and explained what he\u2019d done.
