pizza

Tipping can be one of the most stressful parts of participating in the hospitality industry. Etiquette, amount and the quality of the service can all play a role, and some may resort to unconventional methods in order to give (and receive) tips.

One example of this was recently captured on film, in footage posted by ringdoorbell.compilation. It shows the moment when a Pizza Hut delivery driver arrives at a customer's home. According to the caption, there is a sign on the door asking him to take a slice, as they have no money for the tip. After reading the note and exclaiming "are you kidding me?", the driver sadly takes his offered slice.

Commenters debated at length over whether the gesture was justified, or the customers should have left cash. While some maintained that no-one should order food without being able to pay for the service, others were adamant that it was not their responsibility to top up other peoples' wages. Judging by the reaction of the driver, he wished that more people belonged in the first camp. Doesn't he already get free pizza anyway?

We all know that fast food restaurants use their fair share of less than appetizing methods to bring us the cheap cuisine we know and love. It's not really a shock to find out that the making of a $5 pizza is not that aesthetically pleasing, but one thing we do expect is that a chain will use its own products.

Little Caesars has been no stranger to social media related controversy lately, after an employee revealed how their pizza sauce gets made. However, another viral video has counteracted this by suggesting that they don't make their own pizza at all. In a TikTok shared by @snowmanprotector, the sign of a Kmart Little Caesars is shown before panning to what appears to be a staff member standing beside a pile of DiGiorno's boxes. Many were taken aback at the blatant ripoff happening right in front of paying customers, but some current and former employees hit back, insisting that the food was made from scratch. Others were more confused that a pizza chain also seemed to sell popcorn. Either way, one thing's for sure: this time, it is delivery.
