The coronavirus-induced pandemic hit our livelihoods hard, especially restaurants, which saw a drastic reduction in footfall due to people not wanting to/restricted from, gathering in confined places with other people.?
Restaurant owners became dependent on donations and bulk orders from generous customers but other than that, the initial setback from the lockdown is something they are still struggling to make up for.

However, there are a bunch of insensitive people out there who have no regard for another human being's well being.?
A man from Australia pulled an extremely cruel prank on a struggling restaurant in Melbourne, which has enraged people.?
According to reports, the man ordered 21 meals worth $170 (Rs 9,300) from a restaurant in the Yarra Ranges area, with free delivery and payment on arrival. He then went on to place the order to a fake address and refused to pay for it.?
Not suspecting any foul intentions, the delivery person took the food to the house of an unsuspecting resident.?
Before the driver left for the delivery, he exchanged texts with the prankster where the latter replied with a thumbs up when he was informed that the food was on the way. The delivery guy had no clue that he was heading towards a fake address.?

When he arrived at the location, he realised that the address he was provided with was incorrect and texted the prankster saying, 'Address you provided is not correct'.
To this, the prankster replied, 'I know, F****ead.'
The restaurant's management acknowledged the prank and had an emotional response to the same.?
'Thank you for letting a small local struggling business down by doing this kind of inhuman jokes. Blessings', the restaurant wrote to the man.
He replied saying, 'You stupid c***. No one wanna buy your s***. I have a housewife so I don't need your f****ng food'.
Once the screenshots of this horrid conversation were shared on Reddit, people expressed their anger and said that the man should face consequences for his cruel prank in the form of a fine or penalty.?
A user wrote, "I don't think people quite understand what a prank is vs just being an a**hole."
"Irked me that he didn't say he had a wife, but a housewife, like that's her whole identity. Feel sorry for her," wrote another.
