Pineapple led to layoffs: an Italian chef in Australia refused to put it on a pizza - out of principle. David Tamborella was the head chef at La Costa in Brisbane. He knew that if a customer asked for pineapple, it should be added. But he went against the system and declared that pizza with pineapple is... "An insult to his Italian culture". Tamburla tried to appeal his dismissal to the Fair Work Commission, but missed the deadline to file a complaint. No time to explain, put pineapple on pizza.
