Was the pizza delivery guy so rude in asking me for a tip?

Question

I ordered pizza and the total was $13.91 and I gave him a $20.00 and asked for change then he just said: “what you aren’t going to give a tip?” and I said: “I will but I need change first and have to take it out of there. Then he rudely snapped and said he doesn’t have change and told me I should tip anyway and that he will just keep that. He then left and said he didn’t want to deal with it or worry about getting it. I am thinking: “Jeez what idiot doesn’t carry change?” Was he being rude and in the wrong here? I mean I know it’s polite to tip but to put me on the spot with asking for a tip is just so rude and he was a foreign guy too so he probably didn’t know American etiquette.

You should ring the pizza place and complain. It is not up to the delivery person to decide whether he gets a tip or not. He stole your money and you should demand it back from the pizza place. Tipping is a nasty business you only expect to see in poor countries. If workers require tips to survive, they should be paid more. If the pizza cost $16 rather than $13.91, you would still happily pay it and the extra cost would make up an increase in the worker's wage without having to worry about tips.

Tipping is a kind gesture but it's not illegal. He should know that.

Troll. He'd be at risk of getting fired. That's technically theft.

Nice story. Maybe the pizza could be cold next time. Give it a little interest.
