We all love the convenience of food delivery services considering we can get almost anything we’re craving for with just a few swipes and taps of our smart devices.
But, to what lengths are we willing to go as we take advantage of these services and the good people who brave rain or shine to bring us our food and beverage items?
The All Singapore Stuff Facebook page took to their account to showcase a reader’s submission by someone named Sarah, who may possibly the food delivery person who experienced a customer who decided to add a very unreasonable additional note in their order. The customer decided to add that if their food doesn’t arrive within 20 minutes, the delivery person would have to pay for their meal.

The request is very much outrageous considering Personal Mobility Devices (PMD) have been banned on footpaths in Singapore, which makes food deliveries at their previous speeds very much impossible.

We’re not entirely sure of the outcome of the situation, but we genuinely hope that the delivery person didn’t have to pay for the ridiculous customer’s meal.
In fact, we hope that food delivery services will blacklist or suspend customers who are unreasonable and cruel to delivery people who work hard in order to ensure food and beverages are delivered in a pristine state.

Dear food delivery people, we appreciate you.
