Not getting a tip can be frustrating, but one pizza delivery worker has taken the lack of compensation one horrible step further.
A pizza delivery worker in Florida has been charged with attacking a customer, allegedly stabbing them 14 times after they only tipped $2.
According to a press release from the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office, 22-year-old pizza delivery driver Brianna Alvelo took matters into her own hands after being left disappointed with a small tip on an order.
Delivering pizza to the Kissimmee Hotel in Florida, Alvelo handed over pizza totalling $33.10, with the victim paying $50 and asking for change. Alvelo explained that it wasn’t the restaurant’s policy to provide change, after which the victim asked for their money back and went to find two smaller bills. The switch meant Alvelo was left with just a $2 tip, with a witness statement from the victim to investigators stating Alvelo ‘rolled her eyes and walked away without saying anything.’
The victim returned inside with her pizza order to continue celebrating with their boyfriend and her five-year-old daughter, yet they were later disturbed whilst asleep as it’s alleged Alevo and an unknown male suspect broke into the room armed with a firearm.
After entering the hotel room, the male suspect forced the boyfriend into the bathroom where he smashed his phone. At this point Alvelo is believed to have been rummaging through the victim’s things, whilst the victim protected her daughter.
After finding nothing of value, Alvelo is said to have turned her attention to the victim where she began stabbing her with a pocket knife, eventually leaving her with 14 stab wounds.The victim’s statement alleges that Alvelo only ceased her attack after the male suspect told her it was time to leave, with the victim believing Alvelo was ‘trying to kill her’.
Authorities attended the scene and the victim was taken to hospital from the scene, her injuries include a punctured lung and she learned at the hospital that she was a few weeks pregnant. The victim is now reported to be in a stable condition following the attack.

The official statement from The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office explained: “It was discovered that the victim had ordered pizza from a local restaurant earlier in the evening, and Alvelo became upset about the tip she had received.
“Alvelo later returned to the victim’s motel room with an unknown male suspect, who was armed with a firearm, and forced their way into the room.”
A statement from a Marco’s Pizza spokesperson to News 6 addressed the attack. It said: “We are deeply saddened by the tragic incident that occurred. The local owner and his team are fully cooperating with local authorities, who have launched an investigation into the matter.
“The safety and well-being of customers and team members are always our top priority, and we are taking this incident very seriously.”
Alvelo is being held in the Osceola County jail with bail set at $55,000 (£43,927), as investigations continue. The male suspect currently remains unidentified, and Alvelo is now facing charges of attempted murder, home invasion with a firearm, kidnapping and aggravated assault with a weapon.
The Sheriff’s office added: “This was an isolated incident at this address, and the matter remains under investigation.”

Chipotle worker brutally attacked by customers who were told they’d be charged extra for chicken
Warrants have been issued for Charlotte’s Jamel Bernard Williams and Kayla Nicole Pyle’s arrests
Chipotle customers attacked an employee after an alleged dispute about an order.
Warrants have been issued for the arrest of two North Carolina natives, who allegedly beat up a fast-food worker earlier this month.
Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office said that Jamel Bernard Williams, 36, and Kayla Nicole Pyle, 34, were the two perpetrators wanted in connection to the assault.
It’s claimed that a deputy responded to the Indian Land Chipotle restaurant just after 9pm on December 10.
At the time, the official is said to have spoken with the 20-year-old female employee and various witnesses.
Taking to Facebook, a spokesperson wrote: “According to the victim and witnesses, Pyle entered the restaurant and placed an order.
“A dispute arose about the order, and words were exchanged between Pyle and the victim.”
Queens City News reported that the Chipotle employee had allegedly informed the customer that there would be an additional cost if she wanted to add extra chicken to her order.
According to authorities, a ‘dispute arose about the order, and words were exchanged between Pyle and the victim’.

The conversation is thought to have escalated into a verbal row and it’s claimed that the hospitality worker decided to end her shift early due to the dispute.
However, as the unidentified woman attempted to leave the building, Williams is said to have entered from the other side of the dining room and approached the victim.
It’s claimed that Williams pushed the woman to the floor and began to assault her – pulling her hair and hitting her.
It’s also claimed that Pyle later joined in on the assault and struck the victim before leaving the scene with Williams.
Police said the Chipotle employee sustained injuries during the attack and complained of pain but sought treatment on her own.
Therefore, the current extent of the women’s injuries is unknown to the authorities.
Elsewhere, police said that a third person was also with the pair.
The person in question is a male juvenile however, the relationship between the trio is not known at this time.

In a statement, Sheriff Barry Faile said: “I don’t know what was said between Pyle and the victim, but the victim was leaving for home and was chased down from behind by Williams and attacked in the dining room of the restaurant.
“The assault was completely unjustified. I hope the victim has recovered from her injuries.”
He added: “I appreciate the help we got from Charlotte Mecklenburg PD to identify Williams and Pyle, and I encourage them to turn themselves in and let the judicial system run its course in this case.”
Arrest warrants have since been issued charging Williams with assault and first-degree battery and charging Pyle with assault and second-degree battery.
The arrest warrants for Williams and Pyle were obtained on Wednesday (December 27).
