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?
