A DoorDash driver in Milwaukee, Faith Morris, faced a shocking incident when a customer allegedly caused £10,000 worth of damage to her vehicle over a failed chicken wings order. The customer, identified as Janiyah Jones, reportedly became angry after Morris was unable to complete a late-night and high-priced food delivery due to her phone service being shut off over an overdue bill.
The series of events unfolded on July 11, as Morris picked up the food order, which was nearby, carrying her children along for the ride. However, her phone became inoperable, preventing her from locating the customer’s address and completing the delivery. Despite her efforts to contact her service provider, she was unable to restore the connection.
Upon returning home, Morris received accusatory texts from the disgruntled customer, who believed she had stolen their food. The situation escalated when Jones managed to track Morris to her residence and engaged in a relentless hour-long phone call, further aggravating the already tense situation.
TMJ4 News reported that Jones resorted to damaging Morris’s vehicle by striking it with a tire iron and throwing a brick, resulting in shattered windows and significant destruction. Morris expressed shock at the intensity of the attack, with glass raining down as the vehicle was assaulted.
The repercussions of the incident have been severe for Morris, who disclosed her inability to resume her delivery duties following the assault on her vehicle. Investigations by the Milwaukee police uncovered evidence linking Jones to the crime through video footage, leading to her identification and subsequent involvement of the authorities.
In response to the alarming incident, a DoorDash spokesperson condemned the customer’s actions as uncalled for, unacceptable, and disturbing. The company confirmed that the customer has been permanently banned from their platform and pledged support to Morris in the aftermath of the distressing episode.
