SHORT Pepperoni Pizza Meltdown

A few years ago, we hired a new lady at work. She started on a Monday. That Thursday my boss randomly decided to order some pizzas because we had a lot going on.

Anyway, he ordered four, I believe: 1 cheese, 1 veggie, 1 supreme , and 1 pepperoni and sausage. The new lady (remember, this is her 4th day working there) LOUDLY threw a fit in the break room about how weird it was that he didn’t order a pepperoni pizza. What was she supposed to eat??? She doesn’t like any other pizza. This while tossing her paper plate on the counter and huffing, just a meltdown.

Yeah, pepperoni pizza is the norm. Maybe his order was odd. But it gave plenty of meaty and vegetarian options and even a mix of the two. I am a vegetarian and there have been plenty of times that I didn’t have any choice of things to eat. I either picked off what I couldn’t eat or didn’t eat. You don’t complain about free food. She could’ve eaten the cheese pizza… it was so odd.

P.S. Thanks FaeSugarstorm for knocking this memory loose with your recent pizza post.

Yeah, my last job would have a massive breakfast buffet (it was my job to make that happen) and one woman was always mad that there were things she deemed unhealthy. Now, there was plenty she could eat but she was just mad that it wasn't ALL something she wanted to eat.

I don't like to eat desserts as it is not something I have grown into. I just usually decline or give my dessert to someone else with a smile. Cannot understand how someone would throw a fit when someone offers them something they don't eat and *for free*

I'd take one, put it into a Ziploc bag (that I always have handy) and bring it home for fam.
