He didn't seem that sucky to me

I would never say that a pizza tastes like cardboard. I have never eaten cardboard, and have no basis for comparision.

I have! (Yay for strange childhood habits.) And it's nothing at all like pizza.

but the employee sure thought this guy was rude!

So I go to this pizza place for lunch. They deliver, but have a few tables so you can eat in. I've been there before and the staff are pretty friendly and socialable, bantering with customers and such.

So he's talking with this old couple and asks the man about the pizza.

Old Man: Eh, I didn't like it much. The crust was too hard. It shouldn't taste like cardboard.
Employer: Sorry.
Old Man: Na it's okay. I'm just honest.

As couple are finishing up, the man accidentally spills his drink and let's the employee know. He apologizes and then says something to the extent of "I'm leaving, you probably want me out of your hair". Employee says "Na, we hope to see you back".

After they leave, I'm the only customer there, and my pizza is ready. The employee turns to me and says "Man that old guy was rude! He doesn't like our pizza?" Another employee chimes in "Yeah, fuck them". They mention something about him having coupons for some party store pizza and wanting to compare prices or something. I don't know, but their main beef seemed to be him not liking the pizza.

Okay, you asked him if he liked the pizza and he gave an honest response. He didn't throw a fit or demand his money back, he just said he didn't like it and explained why. Unless there was a greater history or I didn't catch something involving the party store coupons, I see no suck.

Second of all, I found the 180 from "we hope to see you back" to "fuck them" once they left a little disturbing. I know they can't be completely honest with customers, but considered they were just as friendly to the old couple as they were to me, it makes it all pretty awkward if you know what I mean.

Well, I did have a good laugh, and I do think the guy was wrong (pizza didn't taste like cardboard), but it felt like something that was itching to be posted on here.
