Last year, I was lucky enough to get some money, which meant I could buy myself an electric scooter. As I don’t drive, being able to get around town on my own was quite the experience.
One day, I decided to take my scooter out to a fast food place so I wouldn’t have to pay for delivery. I ordered on my phone, drove over, and went inside to get my food. It was in the middle of the health crisis, so there was nobody else inside.
I told the cashier that I was there to pick up an order. Without any more information, she went to the back and put some stuff into a bag. Maybe I was their only pickup? Then, while I watched, she put the bag on a counter and left.
Thinking she was just getting something from a part of the kitchen I couldn’t see, I waited… and waited… and waited. During this time nobody else came in, and it didn’t sound like they were busy. Finally, she came back out, grabbed the bag — without adding anything to it — and put it on the counter in front of me. Then, she tried to hand me a piece of paper.
Employee: “Here’s the address.”
Suddenly, I realized what happened. I’d taken my helmet in with me so it wouldn’t be stolen.
Apparently, she saw it and assumed that anyone coming in on a scooter or bike must be a third-party delivery person. Why she made me wait so long if I was meant to be delivering, I’ll never know.
After I shyly pointed out the issue, she was very apologetic and got me my proper food. Thanking her, I went back out to my bike and checked that I had everything… and realized she didn’t give me any of my dips.
I’ve had a long day at work and don’t feel like cooking, so I order some takeaway using a well-known app. After a certain time, I get a call from the delivery driver.
Driver: “Hi, I’m at [Location]. I need you to come out to me.”
Me: “But that’s over a mile away. My address is [address].”
Driver: “I know, but I don’t want to walk through the park. There are some teenagers playing football there.”
Me: “You don’t need to walk through the park. There’s a road round the outside. You can drive.”
Driver: “Well, I’m parked now, so just get down here!”
Me: “No. You’re being paid to deliver to the door. Now phone me back when you’re here!”
I ring off so he can’t respond. Shortly afterward, the app informs me that he’s marked my food as delivered. I inform the company that it has not been. They apologise and refund me. Not long afterward, I get an angry call from the driver.
Driver: “Oh, thanks a bunch. Now they’ve fired me!”
pizza has all the major food groups, so why not? …(altho it’d be kinda weird for Stan to be eating it if there was any beef toppings!… altho if it wasn’t a relative, then it might be okay…)

Not Delivering On Delivery. Not Even A Little.
I’ve had a long day at work and don’t feel like cooking, so I order some takeaway using a well-known app. After a certain time, I get a call from the delivery driver.
Driver: “Hi, I’m at [Location]. I need you to come out to me.”

Me: “You should have done your job, then!”

The name on the box doesn’t inspire confidence in the quality of the food.
