Tipped Too Much
So today I took a really funny order. At first I thought it was a prank order. The delivery remarks said: “I want my pizza BONELESS!” When I get to the door, a good-humored-looking 15-year-old answers and I say, “Sorry all of our pizzas have bones, it turns out that the Better Ingredients were people all along.” He laughs, I read him his order and his total ($26.30) and he hands me the money.
I hand him the pizza and ask if he needs any change and he flippantly waves and says, “No it’s a tip, keep it.” When I’m walking away, I realize the kid gave me 60 freaking dollars. Since the kid’s parents are home and I don’t want him to get in trouble, I turn around and knock again. This time an older guy (the dad) answers. “Hey, normally I would never turn down a tip but he gave me at least twice what the pizza cost.”
Holding up the three $20s, I told him I couldn’t in good conscience take a 120% tip without questioning if it was an accident. He took back one of the $20s and was basically in awe that I was so honest. He asked my name, shook my hand, and gave me an extra $5, making the final tip $19 plus a customer for life.
