Domino’s Driver Who Bought Soda Receives $134,000 for Retirement After Viral Video

A viral Ring video turned a small favor into six-figure help for a delivery driver’s retirement.

Overview

  • Dan Simpson, a 68-year-old Domino’s driver in Boise, bought a Diet Coke with his own money after the store ran out during a delivery captured on a Ring doorbell.
  • The TikTok clip drew nearly 3 million views, and the customer, Brian Wilson, launched a GoFundMe the next day.
  • Donations have surpassed $134,000, with more than 6,000 people contributing to support Simpson’s retirement.
  • Wilson and his wife, who are visually impaired, said the extra trip mattered because a quick store run is hard for them.
  • Simpson delivers pizzas at night to supplement his Idaho Department of Agriculture job and plans to retire on April 30, with organizers keeping the fundraiser open until then.
