Idiot trolls' cruel prank on hardworking dad backfires sparking massive $750K fundraiser

Hundreds of thousands of dollars have poured in to support a hardworking Michigan dad who was stocking shelves at a grocery store when the father of four turned the tables on Instagram trolls attempting a cruel prank. It all started in August when the Red Baron pizza worker named A man named Walt Zared was packing a freezer. The pranksters approached him and asked for the time, before pretending to skim money off the dad by playing a fake transaction sound, according to a clip of the interaction that has since gone viral in recent weeks. Hey excuse me, you know what time it is boss? 11.35. Dude, thank you, bro. I just took $10 out of it. No messages right now, okay? Zared initially remained calm, but grew increasingly frustrated as the pranksters continued provoking him, leading the fed-up dad to teach the trolls a lesson. Thank you for the $20, man. I appreciate it. I don't have time for this crap in my life. My life is hard enough as it is. Okay, I don't need this crap. I got kids at home that went to bed without me right now, and I was supposed to be at home an hour ago, and I'm still out here working, and I gotta get up at 5 in the morning and do 10 more stores. The video sparked widespread backlash against the pranksters, whose Instagram account, Three of a Kind, was later deleted. After footage of Zared's confrontation with the trolls went viral, a fundraiser was launched by a Good Samaritan stranger, who says he started the campaign because he was concerned the dad could face consequences at work over an incident he did not create. On November 5th, Zared announced the decision to pause the viral fundraising campaign, which raised nearly $785,000. I've decided to pause donations to my fundraiser today, Thursday, November 5th, marking one week of your incredible generosity and support for my family and I," he wrote. I still cannot believe how much you have all rallied behind us and I can never thank you enough. I've been able to spend lots of extra time at home with my family this week." Red Baron's parent company, Minnesota-based Schwanz, confirmed to the Post that Zared remains a valued member of their team.
