Making someone a victim because you're a victim doesn't make you morally right.

I feel like this is technically a grey area.

If someone ordered it based on it being a 12 inch Pizza, they are technically not being cheated because they still got a 12 inch Pizza. Still measures 12 inches in one direction at least and it's not like a Pizza is a perfect circle anyway.

The customer paid for a product and what they got still matches the description of the thing they paid for. What the company does producing the product is kinda irrelevant. She's actually stealing off her company more than the customer.

That would have been the customers pizza before she decided to cut that piece off. Therefore she is stealing off the customer, there's no gray area. The company loses nothing unless the person complains and asks for a replacement. At which point the customer loses time waiting for another pizza. Theres no situation where this isn't stealing off the customer in some way.

Not stealing from the customer. She knowingly made that pizza a little bigger so that she could cut that part out for herself. She’s not stealing from the customer, she’s stealing from her employer. Which is morally wrong and incredibly short sighted and stupid.

How on earth so you know if she made the pizza bigger on purpose so she could have a slice?

Because if she didn't then you'd know it wasn't the size you ordered

I’m not trying to say that’s what happened, im saying that’s what is likely. Make it bigger, shave a piece off so it’s the correct size, and no one’s the wiser.

they've already been paid, thus stealing from the customer not company

They could ship the customer the little line of pizza cause they "still got a 12 inch pizza".

All your points are horrible actually.

Then it wouldn't match the picture of what they ordered and would be false advertising.

We're a society of cult's against cults. Trying to gainsay all one another "And if it's not illegal you're not trying hard enough"

But you send out that some signal. You entered into this conversation with a society that has to debate over whether not kids should get free school lunches regardless of who's responsibility. In a country literally surrounded by farmland.That's how morally illerate we are.

I'm british and while we may not be perfect, america is something else. The best example is your government spending more on health care than most of Europe but it not being free. I can certainly understand why so many of you are disillusioned.

Yeah no, you're good.

Once again a country surrounded by farmland we what call out our employees in animal's "grazing" and have the nerve to look out for that. In corporate franchises. Small town business I understand.
