A friend of mine used to do pizza delivery, and a notable local politician was one of his regular customers. Said customer had a pretty specific and odd preference for how he likes pizza, the key aspect of which is enough barbecue sauce for the pizza to practically be a pool of it. He would, when placing the order, emphasise that he wanted A LOT of extra barbecue sauce, absolutely swimming in it.
Of course, depending on who took or made the order at the time, this sometimes got interpreted as just being hyperbolic and a more subdued amount of extra sauce was used, but the customer never called back demanding a new pizza or shouting at them that it wasn’t enough. In such cases when receiving the pizza, he’d just say:
Customer: “It’s not as much as I like, but I know it’s a strange order, so not everyone’s going to get it just the way I like it.”
And he would be suitably appreciative if it was right.
Back in the 60’s a PI friend was doing a divorce job and needed to document the lady being there. So he borrowed a pizza car and jacket and bought a pizza to deliver at suspects house. The guy denied ordering his favorite (my friend was thorough) had name and phone. Finally the lady came around the corner to see what was going on. Remember the Minox? It was under the box and got a good one of them together. He paid for pizza to get rid of us, so we went back to restaurant and bought another. No tip then either.

That delivery truck looks like a big-eyed space creature from a “Nancy” or a “Calvin & Hobbes” strip.

It may be a good idea for her to give him a tip by letting him know that it could take quite a while before she’s done.

Lot of pizza joints pay delivery people next to nothing, and they are using their own vehicles.If you think it’s so easy, pick up your own.
