A hard-working, fed-up employee of Red Baron, a frozen pizza manufacturer, has become a viral star and received a sort of unofficial hazard pay bonus in the form of nearly $500,000 in donations for standing up to an influencer. The Red Baron employee, identified by The Detroit News as Walt Z., a Michigan man, was stocking Red Baron pizzas inside a grocery store when a camera-wielding influencer approached him and asked him for the time.

This is a joke.” “No, it’s not a joke to me, OK?” he responded, his voice rising. “I don’t have time for this crap in my life! My life is hard enough as it is, OK? I don’t need this crap!” [snip] The influencer started apologizing, but the employee remained unconvinced. “No, you’re not [sorry],” he said. “You got a smug look on your face. You’re probably making money off this. I can’t even pay my goddamn mortgage, and I got four kids at home, OK? So not funny.” The altercation ended with the influencer leaving and then evidently posting his camera footage of the incident to social media.
