Toddler accidentally orders $40 worth of onions online
A one-year-old girl has bought onions off Deliveroo by accident whilst playing on her father’s phone.
Jamie, a dad from the United Kingdom, took to Twitter on Tuesday to share a screenshot of the online order his daughter placed on delivery app Deliveroo after he let the toddler play with his phone.
The order was placed for “large mild brown onions” at Morrisons supermarket. While the onions cost just £1.50, there were other fees added to the order, including small order fee (£13.50), delivery fee (£4.50), and service fee (£0.49).
The total came down to £19.99 (about NZ$41).
“£20 for an onion,” Jamie wrote.
However, he later learned that “it was a pack of three so great value actually”.
The original post went viral, with more than 30,000 retweets and 194,800 likes at the time of writing.
Deliveroo offered to recompense the order. “We’d love to send you the rest of the ingredients for a meal and some deliveroo credit,” the company said in response to the tweet.
