DON'T USE YOUR CC OR THEY WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY

A couple of friends and my husband and I recently rented a condo for vacation in North Myrtle Beach, SC. It was a sunday night and we decided to order a pizza and some breadsticks. We ordered the pizza around 9:45PM and we were told that the pizza would arrive in 40 minutes or less. We were also charged a delivery charge. The pizza did arrive until almost 2 HOURS later at 11:30PM. We did not complain to the gentlemen who delivered it, but since it was so late (and the cheese was then cold) and we had been charged a delivery charge, we decided not to leave a tip. We thought nothing else about it until today, when we checked our charge card (our friends placed it on their charge card, and we gave them cash for 1/2 the order) that the Pizza Hut delivery man WROTE HIMSELF A $7 TIP ON OUR CHARGE CARD. NOT ONLY IS THE FRAUD BUT ITS STEALING AND ILLEGAL TO WRITE IN MORE MONEY ON SOMEONE'S CARD THEN THEY AUTHORIZED. WE ARE ENRAGED. We plan to call the CEO or whomever we need to in order to have something done about this, even the cops if necessary. If this situation is not fixed this will be the LAST time we buy anything from this company (among other appropriate action) if they have employees, who write in a 40% tip for themselves illegally or someone else's money. I worked in the service industry and have had to work for tips and if you don't provide good service you don't get a tip, that doesn't mean you steal from people, we are totally disgusted by it.
I would like this to be brought to the attention of Pizza HUt and have their manager, ceo, whomever handle the situation appropriately. I would like Pizza Hut to reimburse us the full amount that we paid for our pizza and breadsticks as well as the unauthorized tip the delivery man gave himself and other actions to earn back our confidence in them as a company so we don't boycott and encourage others to boycott the company.

i'd suggest, as others have i am sure, reporting the theft to your credit card company.
i would also suggest that, for future reference, where it says "tip" write down "no tip" or "cash"

This happened to me once, although it was in the store, left a tip on the table, went to pay for the pizza with my debit card, when it posted I noticed someone gave themselves a 10 dollar tip.
I did call that Pizza Hut, of course they said they would check into it etc etc etc.
About a year later I got the 10 bucks back into my account.
Now its either cash or check.

"We plan to call the CEO or whomever we need to in order to have something done about this, even the cops if necessary." = What happened when you called the CEO?

Two things:
1. Why didn't you just contact the manager of that location?
2. Contact your credit card company to dispute the charge.

I agree. Once it actually posts, and if the tip is still there, then complain. Loudly.

Clearly, you are able to go online from your location.
Find a local pizza place, and actually DRIVE there. You will have a hot, fresh pizza in shorter time. The local pizza will likely be of higher quality than anything you'd get from Pizza Hut.
Of course, you will tip at least 10% when you pick up the pizza and breadsticks. And you'd hope that the previous renters of your unit tipped as well.

The best solution is to call your credit company, explain the situation, and dispute the additional amount that you believe that you should not have been charged.
There should be no problem in being refunded the amount in dispute.
You might also want to call the restaurant, and explain what happened to the manager, and no one else, so that the restaurant can look into the problem and provide a solution to protect future customers.

It sounds like you phoned in your order. When the pixxa arrived, you should have been presented with a credit card slip which needed to be signed. Said slip would also have had "Tip" and "Total" lines. Did you fill these out completely? Did you politely ask why the delivery took so long and give the driver a chance to explain?
The delivery charge does NOT go to the driver. The delivery charge is merely a "convenience surcharge" that goes into the coffers of the store. The drivers still have to pay for their own gas, insurance, and wear and tear on their vehicles.
Please do NOT not tip the driver merely because the store owners are too cheap to be up front about their charges. The drivers work just as hard, and under much more dangerous conditions than just about any wait people out there.

I have never had such a thing happen, but in a case like this it seems like disputing the charge with the CC company would apply.
Perhaps a call to the store, telling them that you plan to do this unless the overcharge is removed is in order. You might demand the whole bill back, but it would be nice to at least get the $7.

Ah yes the joys of credit cards.
Had you used cash, this would not be an issue.
Good Day
