My personal favourite when delivering when we had a time guarantee; I had taken the order myself, and it was a cold night- around -30. (Winnipeg) The guy asked if I could do him a favour; he was alone with his baby and asked if I could stop at 7-11 and grab a litre of milk. I told him we couldn't do that with our time constraints, etc, and he pleaded. He explained his daughter was asleep, he didn't want to wake her to dress her up for a 5 minute drive.
I agreed, and got the milk. There was a bit of a line at 7-11, and I ended up getting to his house a few minutes late. He insisted on getting the $3 off the order. I told him I was at 7-11 within 30 minutes, it was his extra errand that made me late. We went back and forth and finally I relented. Then he asked how much he owed for the milk, and I told him he wasn't getting the milk now. He was pissed, paid the full amount for the pizza, paid me for the milk, and slammed the door on me. (no tip of course)
The best part, he must have told the story to his wife, because the next day she came into our store and gave me a $5 tip.
