Night time snack

Here's one to be filed under the "don't let your kids play with your phone" list.

 

Last Saturday night a Dad let his 6 year old son, use his cellphone to play a game before bed. But instead of playing a game, he used his father’s Grubhub account to order food from one restaurant after another totaling $1,000 worth of food. A virtual smorgasbord of food from several restaurants was dutifully delivered to his house.

 

In a smart marketing move, Grubhub has reached out to the family and offered them a $1,000 gift card. The company is also considering using the family in an online promotional campaign which could result in the birth of another kid influencer.

 

I guess the kid was hungry.

I can see new safeguards to be set up to prevent that from happening. You know this will lead people claiming their kid ordered stuff without authorization and demand refunds. But glad it may lead to some good fortune for the family here.

We need to monitor our kids when they are using our phones. Funny story to tell for years to come for that family.

Surprising the credit card did not block charges after first one or two.
