Ok, so this story isn’t actually very interesting but the photo that accompanies it is so fucking brilliant I couldn’t not write about it. A 38-year-old woman called Dawn Bailey recently went to papers with the heartbreaking story about Deliveroo charging her for a KFC but failing to deliver. Godammit! The injustice!

Dawn told Stoke-on-Trent Live how a mix-up with her address left her and her family hungry and £28.29 out of pocket. She had wanted to treat her daughter Erica to a bucket of KFC for her birthday along with her other kids and their grandmother but she had accidentally left her former address as well as her current address on her Deliveroo account. When the food ended up going to her former address, Dawn wasn’t happy. Here’s what she had to say:

Quote:I was going into hospital the next day, which was Erica’s birthday, so we decided to have her treat the night before and she wanted KFC.
I put this address in but my phone is linked to my old address… so it somehow changed to that one, but left both house numbers.
The delivery driver rang me because he had gone to the previous address.
I realised what had happened and explained to him I was really sorry.
I asked if he could still deliver it – I offered to pay extra for his fuel and said if it was cold it would be my fault, but he said he couldn’t and I wouldn’t be getting my payment back.
I don’t understand why no one called to check the address when there were two house numbers on the order – there was obviously some mistake.I was really angry.
The only reason for getting a takeaway was for my daughter’s birthday.
I eventually ended up going on Just Eat and ordering pizza, and spending another £20

Dawn has now said she will NEVER be using Deliveroo again:

Quote:I was fuming. It’s daylight robbery. It was my technical error so if it turned up late and cold I didn’t mind that, but I should still get the food. I usually use Just Eat or Foodhub and I’ve never had this problem with them. It was the first time and the last time I will use Deliveroo.

A spokesman for Deliveroo says that Dawn has now been issued with a refund but I doubt it’ll stop her from telling her fascinating tale of injustice at every given opportunity.

Honestly think we'll look back at Deliveroo/Uber getting in on the KFC/Maccies delivery action as the tipping point for society.

So, so fucked.

Dawn has now said she will NEVER be using Deliveroo again: Back to Just Eat is it Dawn? Bollocks she won't, that would mean she would have to walk to get her food.

Quote: I usually use Just Eat or Foodhub and I’ve never had this problem with them. Have you tried cooking food Dawn? It's refreshing.

But it definitely wasn't all for her. She had her daughter and her granny and a whole bunch of her daughter's friends there too. She's swung the pendulum too far the other way, to deflect from the idea she was going to eat it all herself, now it sounds like they were only going to get one chicken nugget each, but only as a special treat because it was her birthday. Why only order one bucket then?
