It was a fine day in Melbourne, Australia when a fast food delivery man held a four year old boy hostage over a row about a pizza. The driver seized a womans four year old nephew when she refused to pay for the Pizza because it was over an hour late!
As soon as the lady told the pizza delivery man that he was not going to get any money for the pizza he grabbed her nephew through the front gate and would not let go of him. Local authorities were called on the scene when the delivery man would not give up possession of the child.
The company responsible for delivering the Pizza who are strangely a part time Pizza place claim that the delivery man still has his job. "There was no way one of our employees was intending to harm the child" said a representative from the takeaway restaurant. The whole event actually turned into a ‘Mexican Stand Off’ type of event as both parties were trying to negotiate with each other. This goes to show that people can get extremely passionate about Pizza! In this current economic climate there is mass confusion and even some businesses will hold people ransom to make sure they get their money! It does seem to make some sort of sense as latest figures show that online food ordering has decreased by a massive 14.5% over the last year which is a massive deficit.
A similar event happened to me not long ago when I refused to pay for a pizza that was delivered about 45 minutes too late. The delivery man was apologetic which is something but he said I still had to pay for the food which I thought was just ridiculous! I got away with only paying him the petrol money for delivering it my house but that was all, there was no Mexican stand off!
Held at gun point - Over Pizza!
