A man in Michigan was having an especially hard day. As a late night store delivery worker for Red Baron pizza , “Walt Z” was working long, exhausting hours, stocking pizza in the frozen food aisle. Yet this didn’t stop him from greeting a customer with kindness when asked the time. Things quickly took a turn from there.

In a clip making the rounds, we see him as he’s approached by a guy asking a question. When he pulls out his phone, the man “pretends” to steal ten dollars by using Apple Pay. Turns out the whole exchange had been a poorly thought-out “prank” from someone trying to get online clicks, and is filming/streaming the exchange live.

The worker was simply at his wit’s end. He essentially—and quite understandably—gets emotional and angry, as he pleads his case to the man filming. “Are you recording me right now,” he asks, while walking toward the front of the store. The streamer doesn’t let up, even when the employee seems visibly devastated. The streamer maintains that it’s “just a joke”.

But it wasn’t a joke to this........
