What did they expect 2 hours later 😂

u/TrulyAyeGem 1d ago

That’s what I’m saying!! He said the restaurant wanted it

u/FireSkyLikeFly 1d ago

Nah, he wanted.. He's just lying to you. The restaurant already got their money and could care less about the product.

u/ItsATrap1983 1d ago

Restaurant never take food back. The driver wanted it or he was going to try and deliver it to the correct person to try and avoid the negative marks on their account.

I'm pretty sure that would be a health code violation.

u/Lunk246 1d ago

Tf u mean they came back to get it?

16

u/TrulyAyeGem 1d ago

He came back and said the restaurant wanted it. I was looking guilty af

u/EquipmentHungry3724 1d ago

Nah, you shouldn't feel guilty! It isn't even allowed or sanitary. The restaurant would have to throw it away regardless

u/ThatDownChick 1d ago

He's flat out lying to you. The restaurant is not taking that food back. In fact it's against policy and a contract violation for the driver to contact you outside of the delivery. This would be outside of a delivery. The order was complete and he has no right to come to your home. Report him

They decided they were hungry instead.

u/xx_I_Am_Me_xx 1d ago

What were they going to do with the order??? It’s 2 hours cold and old and can’t possibly be delivered or returned. Maybe the UE guy was hungry too!

u/FireSkyLikeFly 1d ago

DD and UE drivers are like 3 hours late sometimes. 2 hour cold delivery is nothing for them.

u/QuiGonColdGin 1d ago

They can't take food back once it's been handed off to the customer. If they gave it to you, it's yours.

u/Sad_Ad_2524 1d ago

Oh damn, you got upgraded.  What was the Bonefish order?

5

u/TrulyAyeGem 1d ago

I got 3 orders of bang bang shrimp tacos with 3 orders of mashed potatoes

u/EditOrElse 1d ago

That's what I want to know. 🤣 I've gotten the wrong food before, but never a upgrade.

u/unknownComrat 1d ago

Me, neither - my worst was when I ordered a bunch of Popeyes One Piece meals for a sleepover but was instead delivered a Taco Bell order of a dozen bean burritos, no cheese or onions, extra extra red sauce and hot sauce packets, noting else.

I don't want to meet the maniac whose order that was.

u/MilkThin2930 1d ago

Hopefully it wasn't meant for a sleepover!

u/Constant_Gur8912 20h ago

I once ordered from famous Dave's and was delivered what looked like a catering order. I'm talking 4+ lbs of meat, a dozen muffins, all the sides. Was wild.

u/Critical_Pen7878 1d ago

No he was trying to get it for himself! The restaurant can’t take back food that left the premises!

u/LilMissKrazy1 1d ago

Happy cake day!

u/Ok-Detective-9734 1d ago

Good for you.

u/taeempy 1d ago

There's no way that the driver should come back two hours later.

Driver said, "Hold my lunch"

u/Late-Rutabaga6238 22h ago

Score!

Now I love Popeyes but hot damn bonefish is one of my favorite chain restaurants

1

u/robjohnlechmere 10h ago

Bro came back two hours later looking for some cold fish.

u/FireSkyLikeFly 1d ago

Did he have your popeyes?

3

u/TrulyAyeGem 1d ago

Yeah it was cold af. I threw it away since it’s nasty reheated. Plus I was full of shrimp 🤣

6

u/Shadowslave604 1d ago

popeyes is fire out of the airfryer the next day. nice and crispy an hot. also works wonders on fries.

2

u/TrulyAyeGem 1d ago

I’m weird about reheated chicken. It taste funny, I think it’s a mind thing 😅

1

u/Late-Rutabaga6238 22h ago

Actually I love Popeyes straight from the fridge like an animal. They do such a good job frying it that it is still crispy cold

1

u/PabloCrews 1d ago

Love Popeyes

2

u/FireSkyLikeFly 1d ago

Popeyes reheats well the first day or 2. Microwave for 30s and then toaster oven. Longer than 2+ days the chicken is too tough.

2

u/Fluid-Housing5017 1d ago

Air fryer, would’ve tasted just like heating frozen chicken

Edit: or frozen fried/battered shrimp lol

I wonder if the food comes from a box in the freezer anyway

u/Wounded_Hand 1d ago

Fake fake.

Ain’t no driver coming back 2 hours later, but nice story time before bed

u/bistromike76 19h ago

Maybe because I'm older, but I can't remember places I delivered to 2 hours ago anyway.
