The videos we find every time we enter TikTok are becoming more and more creative. Millions of users post their reactions to unexpected situations, and the case we will talk about is a clear example of this. Many DoorDash delivery drivers record their routines while delivering orders to their customers, filming themselves riding a bike, riding a car, commenting on how much money they earn per hour, talking about the tips they get, highlighting DoorDash’s qualities, as well as its imperfections.
This time, we introduce you to a man who took an order to a customer’s house, but it didn’t end up as the user expected when he ordered by DoorDash. We are all happy every time we are in a restaurant. The waiter comes with our food (although sometimes we get our hopes up and it was actually for the table in the back), or when we see that the delivery is already on its way to bring the order, and clearly that is what happened to this man we are going to talk about.
Everything was going very well until the customer received his order, opened the box, and found something unthinkable: a quarter of the pizza (4 slices) he had ordered was gone. The million-dollar question, which was the first thing that came to the diner’s mind, was whether the mistake had been made by the famous pizzeria whose logo is a board game tile, where he had placed the order or whether it was the delivery app’s mistake, or the delivery itself.
In an unexpected turn of events, the DoorDash driver, seemingly caught off guard, immediately directed his frustration at the bewildered customer who had innocently inquired about the party at fault for the mishap. To the customer’s astonishment, the delivery driver’s response took an abrupt and increasingly confrontational turn as his voice grew louder, and he began, in the eyes of the diner, to “insult” him within the confines of his own home.
All of this unfolded after the driver had arrived with an order that was frustratingly incomplete, leaving the customer perplexed and somewhat angry and with a rather unconventional focal point: his own belly.
The driver’s ire was kindled when the diner tentatively attempted to apportion blame for the unfortunate occurrence, even though the trustworthy source of the mishap remained unclear – whether it stemmed from the driver, the restaurant, or the delivery company itself.
“DoorDash driver gave me a pizza with 4 slices missing.”
The video capturing this very moment serves as an unimpeachable record of the incident, as the customer swiftly began recording to document the unfolding events. During the filming, the Dasher not only expressed his perspective on the incident but also took it upon himself to comment on the customer’s physique, singling out the size of his belly.
Unsurprisingly, the online community was collectively dumbfounded by what they witnessed. Indeed, some users speculated whether the entire episode was a genuine occurrence, and most of them could not believe their eyes; in fact, one user said, “Surely this isn’t real.” or that “they are actors.”
On one side of the debate, a portion of the audience aligned with Dasher’s point of view, asserting that the responsibility should squarely rest with the pizzeria. They cited their own previous experiences, detailing numerous instances of orders arriving incomplete or half-finished, thereby corroborating the customer’s longstanding grievances.
“Look at your big stomach, how big it is. It is pizza right there.”
@dailymail He ate his pizza and then called him fat 😳 DOORDASH delivery driver gave a customer a pizza with FOUR missing slices #fyp #doordash #viral #pizza #delivery
On the one hand, some users sided with the Dasher, stating that it was indeed the pizzeria’s fault since they have ordered there several times, and it is not the first time that orders arrived incomplete or half-finished.
“Why would they cut a circle pizza into squares? Sounds fishy; might have been the pizzeria”.
In contrast, opinions on this incident were quite diverse among Internet users. Some empathized with the customer, recognizing that they were blameless victims of this rather unusual yet strangely recurrent circumstance. Additionally, some users were genuinely surprised to discover that they could place orders at this particular pizzeria through the food delivery platform, speculating that the video was actually created for promotional purposes.
Of course, this hinges on the customer’s location, as delivery options can vary significantly depending on the geographical area. Conversely, a segment of the online community, particularly those who frequent platforms like TikTok, found humor in the situation and chose to adopt a more lighthearted perspective.
They playfully commented with phrases such as “They gave you a Pac-man pizza” or “This is what happens when you don’t tip good money.” While the latter remark might be somewhat tongue-in-cheek, it does draw attention to the importance of appreciating and compensating the online food ordering and delivery platform’s delivery workers fairly.
DoorDash has recently taken the initiative to inform its users that, when utilizing their platform for ordering, it is highly encouraged to include a tip for the delivery drivers. This change has been introduced by the company as a conscientious reminder of the vital role Dashers plays in ensuring efficient and reliable (not in this case) delivery services.
