Italian gets pizza for his family and can't believe what's on his bill!
Scurelle - A pizza chef in Italy is causing quite a stir: One of his customers took a closer look at his bill and was stunned by what he read on it!
Author Sergio Pauli picked up four takeaway pizzas for himself and his family. When he looked at the bill, he realized that he had paid more than the pizzas actually cost, as Corriere della Sera reports.
The curious reason: he had been charged extra for cutting the pizza and the boxes. The fact that the pizzas arrived in quarters cost him 50 cents each, while the boxes were available for 4 euros.
In an ironic post on his blog, Sergio later calculated how you could get rich cutting pizzas.
The owner defends himself and says that his pizzas don't normally come sliced, so this is clearly an "additional service", as il T reports.
The extra costs for the pizza boxes were also justified, as he had to pay for them too. The pizzeria owner also says that he has never had any problems - until now.
The operator of the pizzeria has had enough
The issue is now well known and a lot of people think the fees are unjustified, while others can fully understand the owner. But he shouldn't care, because his business won't be around for much longer anyway.
He wants to take his well-deserved retirement after 40 years. Mainly because he is "disappointed with the political situation and the general climate" in the country.
