More than anything, having fresh food delivered to you at your doorstep is convenient. Food delivery services are easy to use and placing an order is always?just a call or click away.??
However, one request from a customer left a delivery driver baffled.
In the video which was first uploaded to TikTok, Ohio resident?Kaelum Grant?pointed out that he received a delivery request all the way from Rhode Island. The total distance?between the two places is a whopping 741.4 miles (1,193 km).
Add to that, Kaelum¡¯s would have received just a measly $9.25 (Rs 694) for making this day-long road trip.?
To nobody's surprise, Kaelum was not up for an adventure and hilariously reacted to the request in a?TikTok?that has now gone viral. He also had a message for the Rhode Island customer waiting for their food.??
¡°If you live in Rhode Island and you just ordered Godavari off DoorDash, make a sandwich ¡¯cause you ain¡¯t gonna get your food, your food is not arriving tonight,¡± he said.
¡°That meal is as good as gone. Forget about it, ain¡¯t nobody bringing that food. They¡¯re trying to send me on an adventure. 741.1 miles for $9.25? I should¡¯ve came with the right hook with me oh my gosh,¡± Kaelum added.
He was even more stunned at the estimated delivery time the app suggested.
¡°Deliver by 9.53pm, when Wednesday?¡± he questioned. ¡°It¡¯s not going to be tonight - what are you talking about 9.53pm? Do you not know distance? That¡¯s crazy bro.¡±
The video has gone viral, garnering more than 1.3 million likes. People questioned how Kaelum ended up getting the order.
One user said, "They tryna send you on a road trip."?
Another asked, "What type of car does DoorDash think you have?"?
A third user questioned, "How they even let them order." Yet another suggested, "They¡¯re probably on vacation and just forgot to change the address."
Obviously, this must've been some kind of glitch, but others found the entire situation hilarious.?
A DoorDash spokesperson told?indy100, "What¡¯s described in this video is certainly not intentional, and we are actively investigating this."
¡°We always seek to provide accurate information to Dashers for each delivery, which is why we provide information on earnings and mileage before a Dasher even accepts an order," they added.?
