Papa John’s customer was forced to tip in order to complete their pick-up order: “It’s one thing to tip a delivery driver, but the people making the pizza?”
A person using the Papa John’s app to order carryout was required to enter a tip amount to place the order.
When Reddit user u/evilemmyy tried to place the pickup order without a tip, the app returned an error message requesting a valid tip amount. “Their system doesn’t recognize 0 as a valid entry, so I gave them one cent just to complete my order.”
