Seems like a necessity...I feel so bad for him. Someone should look into his financial situation and help him.

I find it bittersweet. Nobody that old should be working that job unless in the rare event he's doing it for the hell of it cause he doesn't like being at home watching tv.

Even then it's just an unnecessarily dangerous job for someone that age, and especially in a fucking pandemic

He'd probably make more money being a greeter at Walmart.

If only there was some kind of universal basic solution that could help give people money for necessities so that they dont have to be working on their deathbed in a pandemic.

tips are for keeps. papa johns does take the delivery fee from the driver.
unless the customer pays with a card then there's a chance papa john has his hand on his tip money.

If he's healthy then he can drive...I know people in their 90s who drive perfectly fine.
