I imagine being a food delivery driver can be stressful. Trying to locate people's apartment buildings, condos, and houses all while making sure the food gets delivered in a timely fashion sounds totally exhausting. In addition to this stress, most delivery drivers don't get paid minimum wage, relying on tips to make ends meet.
Now look, I'm not trying to defend the actions of the delivery driver I'm going to tell you about, I just want you all to understand the stress they're under.
It's the best because I have access to all of my favorite foods in seconds and I don't have to talk to anyone. However, it's the worst because I have access to all my favorite foods in seconds and I struggle with self control.
On one hand, you get to spend most of your time driving, hanging out, listening to music, and smelling delicious food. On the other hand, technology can fail you, and people can be incredibly frustrating.
Sometimes when using a delivery app, the app will just automatically load the last address you ordered from. Most of the time it's fine because you're doing most of your orders from your own home.
That's exactly what happened when mom Jeanette Eriksson-Gray forgot to change her delivery address prior to ordering her daughter and her friend McDonald's.
"It just happened that I had a McDonald's delivered to my friend's house on Saturday because we were there with the children and it had saved the delivery address."
"I messaged them straight away as soon as I paid with the right address. He [the driver] called and said I hadn't contacted him, I had, and when I tried to explain where I was, he said 'I don't know where that is'. It was literally down the road, I could see the road from my house but he wasn't having it. He said 'I don't get paid to do that'."
I think the moral of the story here is always double-check your delivery address, friends!
