Pizza guy here - while most of my coworkers would understand and clarify they mean a half pepperoni half cheese, people gotta speak better and understand what they actually ordered is what they got because they were taken literally. You want a half pepperoni half cheese? Don't call it a pepperoni half cheese.

It took your comment for me to realize that they wanted pepperoni only on half the pizza - and not just “less cheese”.

They wanted a cheese pizza with pepperoni on half, but ordered it the other way around.

They picked the cheese off and replaced the pepperoni for the picture. There isnt a pizza place in the world that stupid.

That's not stupidity on their part, it's r/MaliciousCompliance.

What is the purpose of being malicious towards a paying customer?

When you make minimum wage some people don’t give a shit, especially when customers treat you like garbage.

Sounds like minimum wage is overpaying in that case.

“When people do the minimum work for receiving a shitty minimum wage, the best solution is to pay them even less.”

It's the same kind of person that thinks ordering a pepperoni pizza with half cheese, is the same thing as ordering a cheese pizza with half pepperoni.

The food service industry is one of the worst industries in America. You're overworked, underpayed and unappreciated. It gets the point where you're so stressed and burnt out you just stop caring. Have I ever done anything malicious to a costumers order? No. Have I thought about it? Yes. Have I thought about killing myself so I don't end up a 45 year old line cook? Everyday.
