Customer claims worker burnt pizza on purpose after not tipping

Burnt pizza

A customer was shocked after they claimed a pizza store purposefully burnt their order after they chose not to leave a tip. 

In a popular sub Reddit called r/End Tipping, a user took to the platform to share a recent experience they’d had when ordering takeout. 

He explained that the store has been making customers sign their receipts on the tipping line. When the customers arrive at the pizza restaurant, they then choose their slices and the worker will go ahead and put them in the oven.

However, the Redditor noticed something peculiar, stating that “At checkout he prints the CC receipt and hands it to me to sign (very odd), I did and crossed out the tip line and wrote the total.”

After the pizza worker noticed that they hadn’t tipped, “he let the slices burn so badly he couldn’t even give them to us,” and to make things worse, he “[h]ad to start another set and burned those too but not so bad that we could refuse them.”

People weigh in on burnt pizza order

After the post went live on the platform, people couldn’t wait to weigh on the tipping situation. 

“It’s probably good you didn’t tip them considering the person was clearly bad at his job,” one wrote berating the pizza worker. 

“I would call the credit card company and do a charge back. As well as leave some poor reviews. F**k them,” another wrote. 

One, however, thought that the man should have been more forceful with the pizza worker, writing: 

“Put on your big boy pants and tell them to make it again. Also the fact that he f**ked it up so bad he couldn’t give it to op the first time tells me it was probably a mistake anyway, maybe he’s newish.”

Another tipping fiasco went viral when a customer was shamed for not tipping despite picking up their own order.
