New Delhi: In a disturbing incident that has garnered widespread attention, a delivery agent’s inappropriate behavior has left customers and netizens outraged. The incident adds to a string of recent incidents involving delivery personnel that have shocked the online community, ranging from food theft to threats of legal action.
The incident in question revolves around a delivery agent who crossed the line by asking a customer about their relationship status. Reddit user One-Boysenberry6412 shared their unsettling experience, stating, “Am I wrong to be irked?” The customer recounted feeling uncomfortable after receiving the message even after their order had been delivered.
Sharing a screenshot of the conversation, the user expressed their discomfort to the extent that they questioned whether they would continue using the Doordash delivery service. They sought validation from the online community, emphasizing the significance of the situation, considering the delivery agent’s knowledge of their address.
The post, which emerged just two days ago, has since garnered significant attention on the platform, amassing over 12,000 likes and more than 2,000 comments.
One individual pointed out, “And that’s why no contact delivery is such a popular choice even without covid.” Echoing similar sentiments, another user shared, “This is why I, and virtually every woman I know, always choose no contact delivery. No thanks.” The concerning aspect of the incident lies in the delivery agent’s knowledge of the customer’s address, leading some to question potential safety risks, with one user stating, “How do we know he’s not a straight-up stalker? It’s not okay to do this during a business transaction. I would report him so Doordash can blacklist him from delivering to you.”
Many customers expressed their preference for no-contact deliveries and shared personal precautions they have taken, such as changing names on the app or refusing to come out if called by the delivery agent. The incident brings attention to the responsibility delivery platforms have in safeguarding their customers’ privacy and ensuring that such inappropriate behavior is promptly addressed and rectified.
