A TikTok video elicited sympathy from the internet when viewers learned that a septuagenarian who earned minimum wage working for the same company for 42 years was rewarded with just a BBQ and a certificate.

The clip featuring John Bartlett's final day on the job, filmed and shared by co-worker Soniah, a.k.a TikToker @m3nta11y1ll1, went viral and inspired a fund to give the retiree the send-off he deserved.
