Default Car dealership feels the wrath of the internets after messing with pizza delivery man

Pretty funny story circulating the web. A car dealership in Massachusetts ordered $42 of pizza, gave the delivery driver $50 (2 twenties and 2 fives) and then proceeded to call the manager and complain after the driver left and didn't leave change. The driver returned and was basically treated like garbage by the employees.

It seems obvious that the dealership employees were intentionally messing with the guy from the start- why give an extra $5 bill if it wasn't meant as tip?

Anyway, some genius at the dealership thought it would be a bright idea to put the security footage of the incident up on youtube. Ooops... Thousands of awful Google and Yelp reviews have been written on the dealership since.

Give your pizza boy a big hug and tip tonight!

Google F&R Auto Sales and read the Google reviews, some of them are priceless.

I'm amazed that Anonymous hasn't released a video declaring unrelenting war against them.

Stupidity like this kills businesses.

I'd be firing my entire staff over this.

Some of the reviews are just classic

Quote:
I went in to F&R auto to get a new car in preparation for a cross-country trip with the family. I distinctly remember ordering the Antarctic Blue Super Sports Wagon. When I arrived to pick up my new ride, however, the sports wagon wasn't even there. The shady salesman tried to sell me on the Metallic Pea Queen Family Truckster, but I wasn't having it. I demanded that they bring my old car back, but to my surprise, I found out that it had already been crushed to a useless pile of metal.

Unfortunately, I had no choice but to take the Queen Family Truckster. Now my wife hates me, she'll probably end up cheating on me. My son doesn't think I have any balls because I didn't stand up to the salesman. My daughter will most likely need therapy after being seen rising in this car.

In short, going to this dealership will ruin your life. If you still want the respect of your family, go somewhere else, anywhere else.

Now don't get me wrong, I bought a 1985 Delorean from F and R auto and it worked great. The mechanic told me there was a small problem with the flux capacitor but a little elbow grease quickly solved that issue. After my first trip hitting 89 mph I ended up exactly where I wanted. The mayor of the town, upon seeing that my car was from F&R auto, told me he used to delivered pizza there when he was younger but unfortunatly, the place had to be shut down in 2015 for, and I quote "massive ######baggery".

Now I still have 13 days left on my 30 days garantee but I know for sure that place is gonna close down. So avoid that place guys and stay away from my mother!

5 Star review on Yelp

Can't speak highly enough of these fine, fine people. The only way I can get an erection nowadays is if someone berates me over something tedious and inconsequential. These guys deliver 110% every single time.

So, whenever I become aware of the need to patronize my wife in the bedroom, I just make a quick pitstop at the ol' F & R on the way home from work. No pills, no porn, all natural. This place has literally saved my marriage.

Someone should pull a Walt and throw a pizza on the roof of their office that looks like a house.

Would be curious to know which one of the employees uploaded the video and what planet they were living on where they thought that their behaviour was justified.

Absolutely love it when stuff like this blows up in their face.

Someone hijacked their Yelp listing with some interesting pictures.

I delivered pizza for 3 years during university and I came across these types of people a handful of times. The amount of backlash these losers are getting make me very happy.

If you look at the reviews before the incident and on other rating sites it sounds like these people are actually pretty criminal. Lots of people wrote reviews about them taping the exhaust system and promising work on cars just to make sales.

It also sounds like they're being investigated for Fraud.

This incident might be a blessing in disguise as it makes people aware that they are scumbags.

Some people are just looking for a punch in the nose. Glad the internet landed on the first jab.
