I didn't cheat anyone. Has reading always been a challenge for you?
You tried to cheat him, filthy animal.
Pizza guy told you to keep the change.

Yes, I would have left and never deliver to you again
OP is a grifter.

I ordered a large cheese pizza on Uber Eats the other week and it came out to $57 after taxes (and before tips). The prices are getting ridiculous. I will say this particular pizza shop is very good.
And what did it come out to after the tip?
You can tell us. You're among friends, right?
We wouldn't judge you.
After the tip: $_______
Make your own pizza.
It will cost way less than $24.50
I delivered pizza for about 5 years in my 20s.
The driver definitely would have remembered you and if it was me I probably would have accepted it. It just comes out of your tips.
That said, the point about catching up later won't mean much. The chances I will be your driver next time are low so that catchup tip will go to someone else.
I would never give a gig worker a hard time about any effort on his/her part to do the job right.
It’s just a pizza.
and I’m hard core, high standard, conservative
But what if I want wings Dad!?
Delivery guy probably did the right thing, and so did you by disregarding future business since you were previously a good customer but not respected enough to be afforded a small break. If I was delivery guy, would have gave you the pizza and paid the extra small fee for ya. If I was you, would have done same thing by ghosting their business.
A similar thing happened with the430milers cat. He took that cat in from the streets and for 36 years he took good care of it, paying 1000s for food. Then one day the430miler fell on hard times and asked the cat to go out and earn some extra dollar as a mouse catcher. But the cat felt it was beneath him and refused. So the430miler stopped feeding the cat. And the cat scratched up his trophies. Shredded all his medal ribbons. The friendship never recovered.
$5 was a good tip 20 years ago
15 is probably “good” now

I've ordered from the same local pizza shop for the past 5+ years. I usually tip generously, at least $5 and often $10 or more. Just last week I tipped $15 on a $25 order.
Today I made my order and when the delivery came I noticed I had just $24.50 cash
and the bill was $25. It was the same driver as last week and they greeted me with a smile - probably because they were expecting another decent tip.
I told him I was short on cash and asked if he could accept the $0.50 difference and I'd cover it another time. He refused and I ended up with nothing.
I contacted the pizza shop and told them I would no longer be giving them my business.
Thoughts?
To all the people worrying about why he didn't use a card or locate fifty additional cents, that's beside the point. There is a lot more at stake here.
To the OP, you did the right thing all the way around.
That's because we should have a world in which the delivery guy would do you a small favor based on your shared history, trusting it would pay off in the future. And when he didn't, you did the right thing by calling the shop because, as a loyal customer, you deserved the small favor.
In short, you're an idealist and I respect that.
The question now is, can you stick to your guns the next time you want a pizza??

A $15 tip for delivering a pizza ?
What if the guy ordering the pizza only makes minimum wage like $17 a hour. Most pizzerias already at a delivery charge for the driver.
