Did we hear the free food and wine? A temporary glitch in a US food delivery service app resulted in hundreds of people placing orders without paying a penny. According to a series of social media posts, DoorDash customers discovered a glitch in the app on the evening of July 7 that allowed them to receive their purchases for free. Following a glitch in the payment gateway, users were allowed to check out after placing an order without entering the authorized form of payment. The DoorDash glitch went viral on Twitter as more and more people became aware of it. what happened next? Do we even need to tell? According to the tweet, customers took advantage of the opportunity by ordering not only free food, but expensive tequila and even contraceptives. By the time DoorDash addressed the problem, the damage was already done, and probably beyond repair.
Netizens posted screenshots of the extravagant order, which was worth thousands of dollars. Photos of stores with hundreds of packed orders also surfaced on the Internet.
