Woman Gets Scolded By Delivery Driver Because She Ordered Food From A Nearby Restaurant

Delivery services for food, groceries, and any other items you can buy at a store have become very popular lately. With current circumstances and the convenience of delivery, these services have become a regular routine for some people.

Delivery services are popular among those who can't make it to the store, people with disabilities, individuals who simply don't want to get out of bed, or parents wrangling kids to go out. Whatever the circumstance, delivery services like DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Instacart are rising in popularity.

Most people have great experiences when using these services, except for this woman who decided to share her story on Reddit in the "AITA" thread. She ordered delivery from a restaurant, but the reaction she received from the delivery person was not at all what she expected.

The delivery person was extremely upset because this woman lived "too close" to the restaurant, and the delivery wasn't worth the money being paid for it. Most would prefer a shorter delivery address over one that takes longer to travel, but not for this driver.

This woman wants to know if she is in the wrong for ordering delivery when she lives so close. Let's dive into the story and the responses.

Here's her story about what happened.

The delivery driver didn't react at all in the way she'd anticipated, so she's wondering if she's wrong or if the delivery driver is wrong.

Right off the bat, people started saying she was NTA.

This is a great point because you'd think she'd be happy about the shorter delivery.

Reddit comments came flooding in with great points.

She definitely should have been happy about the short delivery, but she clearly didn't understand.

Clearly, people are on the customer's side about this.

Again, people aren't understanding why the delivery driver was upset about this.

OP responded to this comment, and she made a valid point. Is it an unspoken rule?

Reddit is coming in hot about this delivery driver.

Delivery is meant to be delivered, no matter the distance.

Very well said; the delivery driver was in the wrong.

It seems that OP isn't too upset by the delivery person's actions, just a little confused.

Here's someone's experience as a delivery driver and how they would have reacted.

As long as you're within the delivery area, you can order delivery.

TastefulDisgrace

Simply don't work as a delivery driver if it's an issue to deliver food a mile away.

Ok-Bit-9529

Quick deliveries are a delivery driver's best friend.

TogarSucks

Delivery is an option for many people and for a variety of reasons.

Amiedeslivres

Again, NTA because you're allowed to get delivery for whatever reason you want.

Fit_Stock7256

Very true; the driver could have been taking out their bad day on her.

DjangofettBR549

This might also be best for her; who knows?

UnEazyRider

All in all, it seems that Reddit agrees with the OP, and they think it's odd that the delivery driver was so upset over a close delivery. People with past driving experience say they would have loved this short delivery.

What do you think about her experience with the delivery driver? It definitely wasn't expected.
