Hungryroot showed up at my door, but I didn’t order it
It was addressed for the apartment complex near me, but I had no idea which building to try, it was a heavy box, so I brought it inside and contacted Hungryroot support.
They told me they will send the lady a new box and that I can keep hers or donate it. So I opened it up and made dinner and planned the rest of my weeks meals.
Well this morning I’m leaving for work and this lady is staring at me waving her arms. This is 16 hours after I got the box btw. I put my window down and she’s like “do you have my box??”
I was shocked so I told her “yes but I contacted support and they said they were sending you another one” and she goes “ok well can I have it back, I need breakfast”
I told her I was late for work but would run in and see what was left…I grabbed the oats and a muffin because the rest was all in my pantry and again, I was late for work. I went back out and handed it to her. She grumbled about not having the rest, I said I’m sorry, and that she would be getting all her items replaced.
What are your thoughts on this?
Morally I should’ve spent the time tracking the box down to the right owner but…realistically? I had just gotten off of work, was exhausted, and didn’t have the mental capacity to figure out which apartment building it belonged to. So I feel like I did everything I was supposed to do.
I’m also surprised that lady even wanted her food back considering it was opened and touched by strangers. I really wanted to try that muffin.
But I really can’t afford Hungryroot without the first order discount. Just a funny little story I guess.
