The Salesmen Weren't Going To Tip Him
He assumed it was going to be just like any other day. He was in the process of bringing a piping hot pizza to its destination, as he did on a regular basis.


James was certain nothing could shock him anymore, yet he had no inkling what he was about to experience.
He had a feeling he had stumbled upon the ideal spot when he noticed the dealership sign illuminated in neon. He had even arrived early, leaving him with some extra time to spare.
He had anticipated providing food to a lot of ravenous individuals, but it was shortly going to become a nightmare.
Unfriendly Faces
James entered the dealership and noticed the eager salespeople scattered around. The skies were dismal and the atmosphere was dreary; it seemed like customers were not eager to purchase a vehicle with the conditions outside.


The climate had a visible effect on the faculty's expressions. They did not appear content. He was hoping that getting a pizza would bring a smile to their faces, however he was unaware of the situation he had stumbled upon.
Walking Into Hell
James was expecting somebody to walk up to him and grab the pizzas, yet they acted like they didn't care; why hadn't anyone made their way to him?


He made up his mind to continue further into the dealership. He observed a desk that was likely the check-in spot, was this where he was intended to go?
He strolled up to the desk attendant and placed the pizza sack on the surface, yet he was going into an awful spot.
Sour Face
He gave the receptionist a warm grin and inquired, "Anyone feeling like they could use something to eat? The female clerk had a displeased expression. Had something gone wrong? Why was she not pleased?


Then the other salespeople began to congregate around James. He felt uneasy. But this was only the start.
Barely Paying
The receptionist inquired, 'Alright, who is going to take care of the bill?' How come they weren't aware?The personnel began removing their purses and combining their finances; that worked out better.


James was delighted temporarily, yet when the attendant presented to him the lumped together money, he was astounded.
No gratuity was provided, nevertheless, the situation was nowhere near finished.
Laughed Out Of The Room
The receptionist could tell he was not content and expressed, "At least we are offering your boss an opportunity. Everybody in the area burst out laughing as James gritted his teeth.


He had an alternate plan in the event that something like this occurred. They had gone too far, and now they would face the consequences.
He stuck his hand into his outer garment and removed an item that made the people who had been laughing suddenly implore him.
James Winter
James Winter spent his entire life in Washington State with his mum and dad. When he finished secondary school, he acted with integrity. He procured a simple job and began covering his living expenses as well as investing in his hobby.


His livelihood depended entirely on gratuities, but he had no other option. He had become a pizza delivery person regardless of the outcome.
Funding His Passion
After James paid his rent, there was only a small amount of money left that he could use to pursue his dream. He put aside a small amount of cash each week to fund something he truly desired - a college degree.


James desired to attend an art school. He was very gifted when it came to creating pictures and canvases, however his mom and dad couldn't supply him with the necessary funds to get an education.
Barely Scraping By
After toiling at the pizzeria for a number of months, James realized that he was barely making ends meet. It seemed like things were not going well due to inadequate gratuities and a decrease in customers.


James had a good outlook on life and persevered in his efforts to follow his dreams despite the need to put in long hours.
He was sure it was worth the effort, yet a single shipment would alter everything.
A Day Like Any Other
It had been a dreary week when the business eventually got a phone call. It was from a car seller that seemed eager from their request.


James was hopeful that this would be his opportunity to shine. He was tasked with making five large pizzas with all the extras.
It seemed that the gratuity would be quite large, particularly since the request was from a business. They usually gave an ample reward.
Fighting For It
James wasn't the only one who spotted it. There was another delivery driver hanging around who had heard the news. He was aware he would have to compete for it.


James and the other motorist were able to reach an agreement.
James agreed to accept this delivery, however, he had to hand the following assignment to his colleague. Unbeknownst to him, he shouldn't have accepted it in the first place.
Taking Delivery
The auto shop wasn't distant from the pizza joint, and they made the pizzas swiftly as there were not a great deal of other requests.


He was sure he was going to get paid. He rapidly snatched the steaming pizzas and stowed them in his carrying pouch.
All of a sudden, he was sitting on his bicycle and firing up the engine. He had no clue what he was getting himself into.
Doom And Gloom
James had been so accustomed to lingering that he hadn't considered the climate. The cause of nobody requesting pizza was the dismal atmosphere outside.


For the entirety of that week, a fierce tempest had unleashed its force in the atmosphere, but if he wanted to reach his destination, he would have to face the tricky roads and hazardous traffic.
Getting To The Dealership
The roads were completely changed by the rain and fog. His GPS indicated he was near the destination, yet he could not figure out where it was.


He at last noticed the illuminated car lot indicator and realized he had located the correct spot.
He had finished earlier than expected, and had plenty of time left on the clock. He had hoped to be rewarded for his hard work, however this was not to be.
Getting Off His Bike
James positioned his cycle near the entryway and removed his protective headgear. He desired his face to be as secure as the pizzas were - they were still warm and safe inside the shielded bag.


He made his way to the entrance and almost lost his footing on the slippery road surface but eventually managed to stay upright.
He got himself ready for a generous reward, but he should have anticipated the least favorable outcome.
Hungry Salesmen
James made his way into the dealership and noticed the eager salespeople milling about. The sky was heavy and dismal; it seemed few people were willing to purchase a vehicle with the air so dreary.


The teachers' moods mirrored the atmosphere outside. They were certainly not pleased.
He hoped a pizza would bring a smile to their faces, but he had no idea what he had gotten himself into.
Walking Into A Trap
James anticipated that someone would advance toward him and take the pizzas, however they appeared to be uninvolved; why wasn't anyone heading toward him?


He chose to go further into the dealership. He noticed a welcome desk - that must be the spot to go, accurate?
He arrived at the receptionist's area and dropped the pizza bag on the counter, but it felt like he was entering Hades.
Making A Mistake
He glanced at the front desk worker with a grin and asked, "Who wants something to eat? The female attendant at the desk had a disgruntled expression. Was something wrong? Why wasn't she pleased?


The other salespeople began to congregate near James. He experienced a slight feeling of unease. Nevertheless, matters were only just beginning.
Who's Gonna Pay
All right, who's going to cover the cost?" The receptionist questioned. How did they not know? The personnel began taking out their billfolds and gathering their funds together; that was a plus.


James felt a sense of relief, but when the desk attendant gave him the joint money, he was astounded. No gratuity was given, yet matters had not concluded.
Laughing Stock
The receptionist could tell he was not pleased and said, “At least we're still giving your boss some business. Now go.” James was beginning to become furious, but the conversation was not over.


The receptionist said something that made everyone in the room guffaw, and James balled up his hands.
He was sure that people who deserved it would get what was coming to them.
A Backup Plan
He had a strategy for times like this. They had gone too far and now they would be held accountable. He shoved his arm into his coat pocket and held on to something strongly. He thought about whether he ought to utilize it.


But the suppressed giggles were enough to make him feel they had it coming. Their amusement wouldn't last for long.
Pulling Out A Piece Of Paper
He struggled to hold back his tears as he presented a sheet of paper to the secretary. He wished to let her perceive precisely how she experienced. It was a daring move, but he wished to have faith that they would comprehend.


He forcefully placed the document onto the desk and instructed the secretary to inspect it. She looked at the paper with an unwelcoming glare before beginning to peruse its contents.
Horror
The receptionist's unfriendly attitude changed as soon as she began to look at what was written on the paper.


She had a startled expression on her countenance, and everybody else in the car lot was worried. James was not going to give in after what they had done.
He gazed at her, expecting to learn what she and everyone else in the group had to express.
Something To Say
The female glanced at James and uttered with a trembling voice, “My apologies, alright. I had no clue.” James was pleased that she had comprehended her blunder, yet what about the other people?


The receptionist returned the document and instructed the others not to giggle at him. She always supported him since he shared confidential details with her.
Hearing The Ruckus
A loud disturbance could be heard, and out of the back office stepped a person of significance. It was evident that he was the one in control of the dealership. He observed James and expressed, "Oh, it appears they purchased the pizza. I had intended to take care of the cost, so I will repay all of you.


He approached James and presented him with something unexpected, a bundle of money. The man then gave him a sly look before taking a part of pizza.
Thinking Of The Paper
James was astonished. His bold move not only made it apparent what his role was, but the head of the company unexpectedly arrived to give him the recognition he earned.


He remounted his bicycle and contemplated the sheet of paper he had stowed away in his coat.
He pedaled to the pizza place and was praised for his accomplishment. His superior mentioned that the secretary telephoned and said he had done an outstanding job.
Taking It Out
James gave himself a smile then plopped down to take a well-earned pause. Whilst sitting at the table, he made up his mind to draw the sheet of paper out and spread it on the table.


An image had been affixed of a female who seemed recognizable. Beside it was the medicine he would have to obtain from the pharmacist on his return journey.
He realized he would have to foot the bill himself as he was aware the lady was not affluent.
Getting The Medication
Once James' work was done, he went to the drugstore and grabbed the drugs he required.


He retrieved the generous payment he had earned from the store and was able to cover the cost - which was not always the case.
He had the drug called "Doxorubicin" and it could make one woman joyful.
Getting Home
James came back home right when supper was about to begin. He handed his father a piece of the rent money he got as a gratuity and trekked to the kitchen where his mom was cooking the meal.


He embraced her and said the scarf looked great on her. She responded with a sad, yet happy smile. Then, he revealed something from behind his back.
His Mother
Her face beamed with joy when she saw the medicine, and she questioned in amazement, “How were you able to pay for this?” She had tears in her eyes. James simply answered, "Mom, it is not about the money for me. I just want you to get healthy again.


Tears ran down his face as his mom embraced him and expressed her gratefulness. James earnestly desired that the medication would be beneficial. He was always ready to assist her when she required it.
