    Text - AbeLouDog 1.2k points 21 hours ago When I delivered pizza back in the day, a woman would pay for the pizza at the door with all change, and on more than one occasion she would pay in almost all pennies. The problem was that she always shorted the drivers by several dollars while doing this. Eventually, we had to tell her that we would not deliver pizza to her anymore, because we don't have time to count out over a thousand pennies to make sure she paid the full amount.

    Text - pinkcamo37 1.8k points 1 day ago I worked in a pizza place that did not deliver, but we had a black list. The one that stands out the most in my head was the tax place across the street. They wanted a large order every time, as the whole family, kids included, lived in the office. (A co worker took a salad we forgot to give over there. He found beds on the floor, and kids playing X-Box, like it was their own home.) The owner would write us a check, which would bounce every time. We stoppe

    Text - kifferella 5.1k points 19 hours ago They would call and upon delivery inspect the pizza to come up with some spurious reason to demand it be free or discounted. Finally the boss was done. "Lady, it is clear you don't like our pizza. So we won't be making them for you anymore." - this after I pissed her off royally by, when she opened the box and hollered, "This is unacceptable!" I said, "I'm so sorry you're dissatisfied!" snatched up the pizza and bolted without negotiating anything. She

    Text - Dupragon 6.3k points 23 hours ago We had one little old lady call and order a thin crust small pizza with double cheese. She lived around the corner and every week she would call and complain because the cheese would move a little bit. Our policy for complaints is usually a full refund or your next order free. This happened four times. The reason we cut her off was because when I delivered to her she got the pizza, looked at it, and said "Look! The cheese is off! Damn you guys tell your m

    Text - ABagOfFritos 855 points 22 hours ago I remember one where they just answered the door naked every time. Multiple complaints and warnings, but they did again until receiving their delivery ban. As far as I understand it, multiple restaurants had this problem with the same person.

    Text - THE_IRISHMAN_35 282 points 17 hours ago I worked at a pizza joint when i was in my 20s. We had one customer who called and asked for a cheese and onion pizza. But he wanted the onion minced up and under the cheese. I told him we don't normally do that but i will put it on the order and see if the line will do it. It gets delivered to the guy and about an hour later he calls back furious that we put onions on his pizza because his wife is deathly allergic to onions and in no way would he e

    Text - HeinzNacho 1.8k points 20 hours ago Previous answer - There was an older man who suffered from dementia that would order four fountain drinks and nothing else from my shop, then would tip about $300 every time. After hearing about it a couple times, I told my manager, and we all agreed to get in contact with his family, let them know we wouldn't take orders from him, and that they'd have to take some measures to keep him from doing the same with other establishments. God only knows how mu

    Text - Shirleythepirate 226 points 20 hours ago We had a few "No Deliveries" when I worked at a pizza place as a driver. First one I was a part of was a girl called back because she claimed the pizza we delivered had a hair it it. We apologized, remade and I delivered the order. I give them the pizza and out of curiosity ask to see the one with hair in it. There are only two pieces left of an xl and one long black hair placed under them. I say placed because at the time only three people were wo
