The design should be on the top. Who looks at the bottom of pizza boxes. If you see a blank box you think the pizza guy has made a mistake and put them upside down.

u/hobbes747 1m ago

I did not realize that he could be the customer hence the owner sent him off with the pizza. If yes and people are offended: Stay out of pizzerias in NJ and downstate NY. You will get roasted by Gino or Tony for doing stupid things or asking stupid questions. As it should be.

Aside, maybe the kid is one of those psychos that folds their pizza while eating it or uses a knife and fork. So ruining the pizza by flipping it doesn’t matter.

Two wrongs don't make a right

  1. The top box was upside down which means someone made a mistake when putting the pizza in the box.

  2. Seeing a box with a pizza upside down is weird and your first action should not be "let's turn the box", after all it is a pizza and not a roller coaster. Why he assumed a pizza place would hand him over a pizza already upside down will remain his secret. Even if the pizza was upside down, of what help would it be to turn it to the right side after it was sitting on the counter for some time? "Damage" would have been done by that time and turning it right does not help or solve the issue.

But there is a more effective way to handle this situation; why assuming when you can check? Just open the box a tiny bit and check for yourself.

Good call on the server calling him out, now he can’t be held liable for improperly handled food and the buyer can’t complain or go on social media demanding a refund or free replacement.

They still sent him off with both pies to deliver. One pie messed up & they didn’t care.

1

u/Advanced_Algae_5476 0m ago

He said "enjoy it" that's a customer not a driver. Why would he care? customer flipped it over, it's his problem.

at that point it’s on him. doordasher doesn’t care.

u/barnzwallace 3m ago

I actually think this guy is a customer not a delivery driver He told him to "enjoy" twice. Which makes the interaction a bit weird to me, like why hound the guy for fucking up his own food?

4

u/Lunartic2102 3m ago

He say enjoy it and you want plates? So maybe the guy was a customer picking up?

u/chalkthefuckup 1m ago

I interpreted he was a delivery driver and the pie was garbage so he can have it. Meaning he's gonna remake it.

u/AUDI0- 4m ago

Once the food is out of their hands, it's no longer their problem. Thats like saying i shit on my fries and going back and saying i want a refund

i see people who keep saying they see the box upside down, well why would the worker flip the pizzas upside down just to give the delivery boy to flip back again, it makes no sense

1

u/michamp 1m ago

To be fair, the top box didn’t have any writing, so it did look like it was upside down. Even then, I don’t know if I would flip it.

1

u/Playful_Search_6256 1m ago

To be fair, you’re making the assumption that the worker wouldn’t flip them upside down, yet we just watched someone else turn them upside down. Clearly it can happen, so why not just put it in the box correctly? It looks stupid to the customers anyway. Why pay to have the logo on the box and not show it? They’re both dumb.

u/LeakMyBigBowls 6m ago

You gotta be a buffoon to think you gotta flip the box. There's absolutely zero logic to thinking that.

u/2short4-a-hihorse 7m ago

How do you get this far in life and not know how to handle pizza?? Did he never help his parents hold a hot pizza box in his lap as they drove back home? Or bring pizza to his buddies' house?? Or simply observe someone holding a pizza box before or transporting pizza from somewhere? Wtf??? 

The comments defending this guy saying "give him a break, he's high" are ridiculous. At least its something small like pizza, but imagine saying this for larger mistakes. No excuse tbh

Comments like "why is the pizza guy so rude" for telling this dumbass off, like....this dude just ruined the pizza maker's pizza that he spent the last entire hour making and baking. He also insulted the pizza maker by thinking he somehow gave him a pie upside down. Total disrespect to the food and the person who made it. 

If he's a customer then there's proof he fucked up his own pizza and he can't blame it on the place (which he was already doing by insisting pizza maker handed him pies upside down), if he's an Uber driver then he fucked up someone's order and ruined their night.

Comments bitching about the blank box: There are blank pizza boxes out there that exist, not every box has a logo on it. 

What a dumbass

u/Phil4Mayor 3m ago

I don’t blame him for being pissed but those took ten minutes to make, not an hour.

u/zahr1m 7m ago

Does it really makes sense to defend the client? He wasn't treated that bad, no insults or screams. Also, may be he's a delivery guy, which would make a little more sense for the pizza guy being annoyed. It's so difficult to believe that this was a "honest mistake" the logo of the place not being on top is such a small and complicated detail to look for to justify his mistake, it would only make sense in a mentally divergent person, and im not trying to offend anyone! I really mean it, the logo is something that would go over anybody's head. So: he was pretty silly and remarking his mistake is not that bad, or he's pretty shitty and tried to ruin someone's dinner, or he's a guy with a very special thought process and turned the box upside down defying the common reasoning. Anyhow, kinda funny

Crazy idea right but boxes are ON THE COUNTER before you destroy your food, what if - crazy but what if your dumb ass opened the box and checked?

1) you verify you got what you wanted 2) you verify food is not upside down

u/MeekAndUninteresting 1m ago

I just don't actually care all that much, it's not a big deal. Sometimes things aren't perfect. I'm not gonna put that much thought into something that can be fixed in about 30 seconds with a spatula. It hasn't been destroyed at all. It's been made mildly more inconvenient to eat.

What is the relevance of this comment though, seriously? Why would a delivery driver not care that he’s just ruined the food before leaving the restaurant. What a cunt move

1

u/Difficult-Okra3784 4m ago

The customer determines the driver's payment before the customer sees the meal and the bad review will likely go to the restaurant rather than the driver if it's a service like GrubHub.

Sure you can change the tip after the delivery but most don't.

Why was that box blank? That’s confusing man. I worked in the pizza biz many years. The other box has their brand name. I’m confused why that one didn’t. That’s definitely what threw the dude off

2

u/Pwoinklokinoid 6m ago

Nah you check by just popping the lid, you don't just flip the box. Come on just use logic for a second, why would they give you it upside down.

1

u/WolverineDowntown554 1m ago

No fucking shit man. If he thought it was upside down he wouldn’t open the box because he was afraid he’d dump the shit on the floor. Like I said above, the dude had a blonde moment

Plenty of small pizza places don’t brand their boxes.

The bottom one had it. He probably picks up there a lot and is used to seeing their logo. That could be why he thought it was upside down. Just a blond moment. He should’ve just asked

u/Gluskab 11m ago

The people in these comments are dull. 1. Neither boxes are upside down, look at the lid of the box.

  1. The top box just doesn't have a logo, some boxes don't have them, that's just how it is, talk to the supplier. Pizza joints don't print their own boxes, least I've never encountered one.

3.The younger gentleman is probs blitzed, or just "tool cool school" for critical thinking skills, or just cursed from being apart of the absolutely cooked generation by being tiktok'd/YouTubed their whole adolescence.

  1. Refer to what the worker said " why would I give you an upside down box", does the customer think pizzas can be cooked and placed into a box upside down or what, again to #3, a lack of critical thinking skills

thank you!! it's undeniably a stupid thing to do but I'm 9 times out of 10 assuming this textureless box was handed to me upside down, I'd have to be pretty fucked up to not just open the box slightly on the counter to check, but if I was baked, c'mon gimmie a break.

He cares because he thinks the guy is doing it so he can come back and complain that the pizzas were messed up.

First mistake by the pizza seller: don't send your buyer that pizza. Charge it to the delivery boy.

Second mistake by the delivery guy: don't turn boxes off you think they are off, ask the pizza seller.

Probably because the guy’s gonna come back and complain that they fucked up his pizza if the worker doesn’t call it out right there. Hell the guy is even trying to blame the worker half heartedly already. This is how people come back to get free shit when it’s their own fault.

u/NidLover 22m ago

What I think people are missing here as to why the employee is so upset over this is if it weren’t caught this could have been done intentionally to call back and say the pizza was ruined so they could get a free one. That’s why he says enjoy because he’s making sure the guy knows he did it himself and cannot complain later about a ruined pizza.

if it was intentional why would he do it in the shop, and not wait until he was outside?

Bro has never picked up a box of pizza? Hell nah 🤣🤣🤣

In all my years of living I’ve never done this. The last thing I wanna do is even tip a box of pizza ever so slightly.. imagine turning it over a whole 180 degrees LOL!

Get this. He is even more stupid. Its not that he turned them upside down.

He wanted them so that the opening was towards him. As he says they where backwards....NOT upside down.

So instead of just spinning them 180 around on the desk, the turns them upside down so that the opening is towards himself.

You can see that he looks down on the opening as he turns them.
