Question: Unanswered Driver wants me to cancel order?

Post image

Driver contacted me asking me to cancel my Wendy's order, I thought he was asking me to cancel it when he gets close to my place, but it turns out his English is really bad, he's trying to say the restaurant is closed. Not sure why he wants me to cancel it for him. He even called to ask me to, and said something about how his ubereats account was closed. What do I do here?

If the restaurant is closed and you don't cancel your order you fuck over every single driver that gets assigned to, because it will be assigned to more than one person. Don't believe the people in the comment saying that this guy's trying to scam you, if the store is actually closed you canceling it is the best outcome for both you and the driver. You can get a refund they can actually get kind of paid for their time and nobody else has to go to this closed store and and drop their metrics for no reason.
