A White Pizza Hut worker is under public scrutiny after being captured on video calling authorities on a customer picking up an online order.
Deaisha Thompson of Minnesota pulled out her phone to record after the worker was already on the phone with the police, alleging she was refusing to pay him $34 for her order.
Thompson had ordered and paid online before going to pick up her food.
Thompson drove to the restaurant to pick up the order because delivery would take over 3 hours.

Eventually, a second worker enters the frame and within a few seconds passed the order to Thompson.
“Like, how is this my fault?” Thompson said.
“How am I refusing to pay? I already paid. He was rude when I came up in here.”

The interaction thankfully ended peacefully.
Thompson headed on her way home with her hopefully still hot food.

As people in the comments praised Thompson's patience, it begs the question of why a Black woman had the police called on her.
Pizza Hut has not yet commented on the incident.
