This 89-year-old pizza delivery driver received a $12,000 tip from 'regulars' on his route

The tables quickly turned for an 89-year-old pizza delivery driver who received a surprise delivery of his own from"regulars" on his route -- a $12,000 tip.

Derlin Newey was in disbelief Tuesday morning when the Valdez family knocked on the door of his Utah home. CNN affiliate KSL TV was there to witness the moment. "How do I ever say thank you? I don't know what to say," said Newey as he held back tears of joy. Newey delivers pizzas for Papa John's about 30 hours a week. He told KSL that he started the job after realizing he couldn't live solely on social security.

I liked this story better when it was called the Hunger Games

I think that this isn't a good news 🙄 Capitalism: The modern slavery.

the red spy chief Trump. I don’t know how many high-tech grade FA_18A electronic warfare data link Kitty Hawk grade steam turbines and Ford grade nuclear reactor military secrets have been sent to China.

The American Amen has played for 5,000 years, but the Chinese Trump is clearly the Chinese spokesperson for the Chinese Communist Party in the United States. Li Kenong, the red spy leader of the Chinese Communist Party. Infiltrate the enemy's interior. Amen teaches you to check

CORONA!!!!!

an 89 year old pizza driver is upsetting.

...and they recorded it..

Actually this is horrifying

What’s the response from the IRS? 🤔

Fake news.

👀 Really !? They Still Hiring That same route

Any report on this? Do any of your “opinion” writers want to pick this up? Anything? No? Ok.

Warm story. I hope he isn't bothered by the government to pay the tax. And, why don't seniors get free utility services? One day, we will all be there...

Great but why does an 89-year old have to deliver pizzas?

How tragic that he has to work at that age

The US of A is already a dystopia I see.

Not good. Poverty rearing its ugly head.

You mean it's a 'gift' cause 'tips' are taxed.... taxation is theft. 🤷‍♀️

Good story and may God bless you and your family for even recognizing him because at that age nobody shouldn’t still be working

America, Land of The Poor

I find awful that a man cannot get a decent pension till the end of his life and be obliged to carry pizzas to supplement it ! What a country!

This isn't heartwarming, this is horrific. 89 and forced to still work!? Kinda makes this country look like a shithole country.

Ripped off a Fox story

Capitalism is a dystopian nightmare where an 89-year-old man has to work a highschool kid's job in order to survive while corporations brag about someone other than them taking pity on him & 'giving' him money, which I'm guessing he'll spend on medication or food...

Bless these contributors to the 'pizza guy' (wish they were wearing masks). It's sad that Mr. Newey's Social Security couldn't meet his needs, sadder still that realDonaldTrump wants to make sure there's no Social Security/Medicare via FICA's disappearance.

There are casualties and injured people among the civilian population of Artsakh due to the Azerbaijani shelling. Two people were killed, one woman, one child, and two were wounded. Schools were also shelled, including in Stepanakert.

Why would a pizza delivery man have a route?

I just turned 83 and can't find the energy to give a shit about hungry people. God bless him he's a better man than I.

💕💕

A civilian was killed in Artsakh due to Azerbaijan's aggressive actions. Azerbaijan's crimes against humanity must be condemned by the international community StopAzeriAggression NKPeace KarabakhNow

He must’ve really mad some bad life choices. Why does everyone assume it’s society’s fault or responsibility?

This is the future of future generations. Good luck with the increase in debts(schools, mortgages, rent,etc).

Help this guy. People who are 89 years old shouldn’t have to work in order to support themselves. Glad people stepped up to help him.

No job security, no pensions, no health care. However, got guns, drugs and hip hop. 1

ajcalvin1 Ah, the feel-good news stories of late stage capitalism.

Heartwarming!

a rotten country. 89 years ols pizza guy.

Beautiful

Remember austerous leader

89-year-old pizza delivery boy

God bless capitalism.

that shit is your problem, the old man needs alms, what a shitty country.

This is an atrocious story, your country is sick.

There’s still hope in this world..

America, a country so great an 89 year old man has to deliver pizzas to survive.

That's... that's not a fucking good thing, that an 89 year old man, someone who's directly vulnerable to the pandemic, has to not only work, but also rely on the kindness of strangers tipping him to survive. This isn't the heartwarming piece you think it is CNN.

I’m not crying you are

😭😭😭

89 and still forced to work minimum wage. That is so sad. America is a grim place.

ParineetiChopra 😭

Love it. THIS is what life is about.

30 mph or less

👍👍

Someone needs to match that donation to at least $25,000 for this good man. 🌟

What a gracious act of generosity !

- Me: 'can you show me in a single post everything that is good and bad in the US?' - Twitther: 'See this CNN story'

That's awesome

not a feel-good story, our government is fucking broken.

This is not a good news story.

Isn't the story here that someone probably had to deliver pizza to make a living at 89 ? Don't you see that something is wrong ?

Amazing ! God bless you dude !!

Nice story. PapaJohns needs to match the $12k contribution.

When an 89 year old has to work to survive, is when you know the world is coming to a proper end...

I’m not crying you’re crying 😭

The US is a one big yikes.

Mitch! Today we have 207,555 DEATHS still 1K/D. You DECIDED to keep an INCOMPETENT PERSON in the WHITE HOUSE! His FAILURE to manage the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT’S RESPONSE to the Pandemic has resulted in 30 Million unemployed/no healthcare + RECORD: Bankruptcies Foreclosures Evictions
