Cruddy_horse 09/05/21 3:45:07 PM #1:	I just got wrongly delivered a steak lunch from a nice restaurant in my town, went door to door asking my neighbors if they ordered it but nobody did, called the restaurant and they said it must have been a food delivery service as they don't deliver themselves. Has anyone else had this happen with one of those companies? <cite>Cruddy_horse posted [p:957762537] in How often ...

I have heard of that food services sometimes getting things wrong. Or sometimes people putting in the wrong address.

They also check to make sure I have everything I need, make sure they didnt forget anything, etc Which I think is good since it would be much more trouble if something was wrong, forgotten, or whatever.

LinkPizza 09/05/21 4:34:34 PM #13:	It also could be a situation where the driver had trouble finding the house. I dont know where TC lives, but I use to have a friends who had a hard to find house. It was down like a dirt road that didnt always show up on navigation systems So, lots of newer drivers had trouble finding it. If the person who ordered the steak lived somewhere like that, then TCs house might have been in a spot that was close or something. Or maybe the house number was right, but not the street name. And they entered it wrong Or maybe someone bought TC steak Or tried to buy someone else steak, but sent it to TC.
