68-Year-Old Domino’s Driver Goes Viral For Buying Customer A Diet Coke—And Ends Up Raising $50,000 Ahead Of His Retirement

A simple act of kindness has turned into a life-changing moment for a veteran delivery driver after he went above and beyond for a customer, sparking a wave of generosity online.

Dan Simpson, 68, of Boise, has captured hearts across the internet after it emerged that he personally stopped at a store to buy a customer a Diet Coke when his local Domino's had run out.

The gesture, which might seem small to some, quickly went viral after the grateful customers shared their story on a GoFundMe page.

“[Dan] had stopped at the store himself to pick up Diet Coke for us. On a busy Friday night. During deliveries. Completely out of his own time and effort,” they wrote.

The post revealed even more about Simpson’s story, making the moment all the more touching.

The 68-year-old has been working at Domino’s as a second job for 14 years and is just weeks away from retirement, making his selfless act resonate even deeper with those who heard about it.

What happened next stunned even the customers who launched the fundraiser.

Donations began pouring in from across the country, quickly climbing past $50,000 as strangers rallied to thank Simpson for his kindness and dedication.

Online, many praised the driver for embodying old school work ethic and generosity, with commenters calling him “a true gentleman” and “the kind of person who restores your faith in humanity.”

For Simpson, what started as a routine delivery turned into an unforgettable send-off, proving that even the smallest gestures can have a massive impact.
