Making a living through food delivery can be challenging, with many agents relying on tips to make ends meet. Recently, YouTuber Steven Schapiro created a heartwarming video in which he surprised food delivery agents with hefty tips of $500 (approximately Rs 41,000).
In the video, Steven placed an order from DoorDash, the largest food delivery app in the USA. Instead of letting the driver come to his house, he met them outside the restaurant where they picked up his order. Steven surprised the delivery agents with a generous tip upon receiving his food.
Throughout the video, Steven made excuses for ordering through the app instead of going directly to the restaurant. He mentioned reasons like being unable to meet the restaurant staff and having social anxiety. While many delivery agents accepted the large tip with gratitude, some were initially hesitant and overwhelmed.

One touching moment occurred when a retired nurse, who was working as a DoorDash agent, initially refused to accept the tip, stating that it was too much. However, Steven insisted, and she eventually accepted. The video also highlighted individuals in need of financial assistance, including an elderly man who used his DoorDash earnings to support a local baseball team.
Since its posting on March 24, 2024, the video has garnered over two lakh views. Viewers praised Steven for his kindness and generosity, with many commending him for making a positive impact through his YouTube videos. The video not only brought joy to those who received the tips but also raised awareness about the struggles faced by many Americans in recent years.
