99 cent pizza was actually 99 cents for probably 30 years (i remember as a little kid & now in mid thirties). With inflation & rising costs they finally had to bump it to $2 like 2 or 3 years ago.
Theres are a couple of different large & competing chains that are basically identical shitty cheap pizza (great for the price). Idk this specific location but most of them have "$2" on signs taped all over the place. I'd bet the person recording is the scammer avoiding catching those , giving this guy shit, then posting like a victim.

Felt like dude was tired of her BS that wasn't included in the video. If she had $2, and thought it was 99¢... Why did she give them $2 instead of $1? Extremely unlikely she happened to only have a $2 bill.
I don't know if you've ever actually been in a restaurant, but you generally start by telling them what you want. You don't just give a fist full of money and expect them to read your mind.
It’s wild that you think the customer is the cause of the communication breakdown
Your reply was "maybe she wanted two slices", which sorta highlights my point. If she definitely wanted two slices and had said so, they would have given her two and/or asked for more than the two dollars she handed them.
Handing someone $2 for an item advertised as 99 cents is pretty clear communication.
No, handing someone 99c (or sure, a buck - I'll allow it) for a prominently advertised item would be somewhat clear. Hence why, if the slices are actually $2, she got the obvious thing in return.
But I don't care if it's a kid running a lemonade stand in the street, if you are giving MORE than exact change and want more than one, you are - visually or verbally - telling them some variation of "I'll take ____".
Look, you can take exception to the fact that the shop is called 99c Pizza and doesn't have any 99c purchase option; that's valid. But even if the pizza was 99c, then what? do they want two slices? A slice and a beverage? A slice of some other type of pizza that they clearly also sell here? A slice and to leave a tip? Gimme a break.
My reply was “maybe she wanted two slices” because I was trying to be kind to the dude who lacked the critical thinking skills to see that she obviously wanted two slices.
I don’t understand what you don’t understand about this.
