This food delivery guy got the oddest instructions ever — and they weren't even from his actual customer. 

Working in the food delivery industry can be quite lucrative if you do it right. Some delivery people can make hundreds of dollars per day between their salary and their customers' tips. Food apps like Doordash, GrubHub, and Uber Eats are so popular that it's no wonder delivery folks sometimes use multiple apps at once. If you're working for two or three separate services, you can try and combine your orders to maximize your profits. 

But it's not all fun and games, as you may have guessed. Delivery drivers have to encounter all the people of the world. Worse, they have to deal with these people who are hungry, and they're not always patient with the person responsible for their dinner's arrival. Rude customers will always exist, but this OP's dad encountered an entitled employee at a hotel he delivered to. 

It seems like this employee just made up a rule out of thin air. Perhaps he wanted to mess with this delivery driver, or maybe he just wanted to feel powerful. Regardless, at least this OP's dad got some excellently petty revenge on him in the end. 

Next, these goofy gym-goers just couldn't figure out how to work out without looking ridiculous.

    Font - My dad does food delivery service in his leisure time. He said he likes the community among the riders. All riders (motorcycle is really preferred for the traffic around the town) are provided with a helmet and a jacket that match the company logo color, plus some details on them.

    Font - Delivery to hotels are common, as our town is one of favorite tourist destinations in the country, and traffic could be really a thing especially during the holidays while people craving for local cuisine but don't really want to deal with it.

    Font - On to the MC story, one day Dad got an order to deliver to Marriott hotel. He was told by the security to leave the jacket behind before entering the lobby and while waiting for the guest to come for their food there. He argued about leaving the jacket behind is worrying as the motorcycle parking area is quite in the open, so the security told him to leave it in the concierge. This annoyed him, but he complied anyway.

    Font - He gathered from other riders that the same security guy been asking them the same and sometimes with condescending tone. Dad came up with a little evil plan. This security guy mostly works in the day shift, so when he got another order to Marriott during the day, Dad took off his shirt and left it in the bike's container under the seat and wore nothing under the jacket. He walked towards the lobby, glancing the security who stood there with smug face and headed towards the concierge, too

    Font - Receptionist: Barechested? Where's your shirt? Dad: It's a hot day, Boss. I ride around the town with only my jacket on. No delivery jacket allowed in lobby, no? Your colleague, that security guy told me so.

    Font - Receptionist: J-just leave the food with me, and please put your jacket back on. Thank you. The security guy realized the situation a bit late, and could only watched the whole exchange with his jaw dropped.

    Font - Location Mammoth1305. This was an amusing story, but I'm confused why his jacket ever needed to be removed? Security guard just letting a small amount of power get to his head or what?
