"who don't" is fine here. The fact that "everyone" is singular doesn't change the author's intent to refer to a group of people ("who don't [thank]").
Just FYI. Although you would be correct in your advice to use "who doesn't", which is also correct, and tend not to anger the most retentive of rectums. So for you kids still in school, use "everyone who doesn't" - less trouble and 'splaining to do. But in the real world of literature, "everyone who doesn't" and "everyone who don't" are both valid usage of the English language. (Even though they do convey a slightly different 'feel')
