Just got a load of free food

[Thatdoglookslikemydog]

Just had to tell someone else other than Dh who said ‘That’s good’ 😂
Placed an order for a food shop with Uber eats, came to around €80. When the delivery arrived and I took it in the kitchen, I thought it was strange it was only one packed bag (usually around 3) opened the bag and none of it was mine…packets of chicken, mincemeat, fish, smoked salmon, lemons, mangos, bagels…lots of nice things, but nothing I ordered aside from chicken
I tried to call the driver but it wouldn’t allow me. I contacted Uber eats and they refunded me, well in up to ten days I
think, but it was issued at least.
So I re ordered my original order, pleased I got a refund and some food free, but I also needed my order for the week, especially for this weekend and my lunch today and a bit fed up by the long process.
Uber turned up with what I ordered, plus extra of some of it, but not all? wondering if some is from my original order but no idea how?! So I got extra chicken breasts, extra butter, two extra cheeses, five extra bread rolls

I’m very confused but also happy and I have a freezer full of chicken, mince and fish to last a good while (we don’t ever really have this so it’s a novelty!)

That’s good.

🤣
Come on, this is a real god send for us, bagels with smoked salmon & cream cheese for tomorrow’s breakfast, I usually only have this at xmas

The shopping gods were smiling on you! I've had it happened a couple of times, reported and they just said keep it. Yay!

I love when this sort of thing happens! Enjoy your smoked Salmon 😁

Ooh OP, I'd be thrilled. Enjoy your smoked salmon bagels!

I love smoked salmon so I would be very happy about that, but not so happy my order was messed up.

Enjoy the freebies!
Hope you get a happy little feeling every time you grab something to defrost from the stash over the next couple of weeks

👍

Only joking that is brilliant, happy for you!

Just be careful as Uber eats will have narked you as having a refund and if you have issues in future will suddenly decide not to refund you and that it’s fraud instead of them being shit. I once had £5 worth of a £50 shop delivered (spread across multiple bags so it wasn’t immediately obvious. I complained and they said they weren’t going to refund as I’d had partial refunds on two fast food orders. Had to email the ceo in the end and it got miraculously sorted. I wouldn’t touch them with a barge pole now.

Im confused. Youre ordering groceries for the week on ubereats?

Now I want smoked salmon and cream cheese.

Yes, in some localities you can order from grocery stores on Uber Eats. They also
have half priced fruit and veg Mondays.

Ooh fab! Happened to me once with Ocado - there was an extra random bag of chilled groceries in the van and I was the last stop, so the delivery fella asked if I wanted it as it would be thrown away if he took it back.

This trumps the experience I once had where I ordered food for my lunches for the week from Sainsbury’s via Uber Eats and instead received a single Rustlers burger, a pack of fags and a small bottle of vodka 🤣🤣🤣

In the earlier days of online shopping I placed a supermarket order for about £80 worth of food. When they turned up they had (inexplicably) packed two of everything - a full double order! I rang to tell them but they said to keep it all. I felt like all my Christmasses had come at once so I totally get you op 😁

Happy Friday
would love
this to happen to me xx

Cute. Enjoy ❤️

Why not just order from the supermarket

This happened to me once, it had crisps, ready brec , meat, protein bars, tonic and a bottle of vodka. The weirdest shop ever.

I was ordering because I couldn’t go out in the rain and buy formula. I didn’t need any of the above but it was welcome, as I was on mat leave and broke. Bottle of vodka is still mostly full but I might have a cocktail when the sun comes!

It’s a much quicker turnaround than having to choose a supermarket slot a few days out. You can order from Morrison’s, Iceland, and à couple other places. This is why some stores have also created similar versions of this service such as Tesco Whoosh and Morrisons Now.

It's a bugger when you're in store waiting at the till and the one visible staff member is dealing with the delivery drivers though.

Or at least it is at our tiny co op local.

I'm really amazed by how many do online grocery shopping. My one and only experience was bad. I got everything I ordered, but the produce had not been chosen discriminately, so packets of berries weren't very nice, for example. I've never done it again.

I think, however, it would be kind of fun to get an entirely different shop. 😂

Could you picture who’d ordered that? I’m getting a greasy haired man, with a yellowing shirt and a brown cardi.

He lives in a flat, and is grumpy with the neighbourhood children, but smarmy with women.

And his breath smells.
