Delivery man holds child to ransom over a slice of pizza!
it was a normal sunny day in Melbourne, Australia when a young man decided that he would take a young boy hostage over payment confusion on 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!
Once the lady informed the delivery man that he was not going to receive any money for the pizza he grabbed the nephew through the gate and refused to let him go. 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 Indian restaurant place claim that the delivery man still has his job. “There is no way that he was intending to harm the child” said a representative from the takeaway centre. 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 makes some sense as latest figures reveal that Food takeaway spending has decreased by 14.5% over the last year which is a massive deficit.
The other week I had ordered a pizza that turned up 45 minutes late than it should of. It was very frustrating indeed. The man who delivered the pizza was extremely apologetic but insisted that I pay for the pizza which I thought was abissmal behaviour! 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!
