Wheelchair-bound TikToker goes viral after Grubhub driver pulls cruel prank over tip Unsplash.com: Gustavo Fring \/ TikTok: lizardqweenA wheelchair-bound woman is going viral on TikTok after sharing her interaction with a GrubHub driver who pulled a cruel prank on her over dissatisfaction with their tip. GrubHub, like many meal delivery services, allows customers to tip the driver who delivers their food at checkout. Users can choose how much they want to tip, but the GrubHub website notes that \u201c20% is the standard cost of having the mealtime brought to your doorstep\u201d \u2014 a generally widely regarded rule of thumb for most dining experiences in the USA. However, one woman went 6% above the standard when ordering her meal from the service\u2026 but that didn\u2019t stop her driver from feeling a bit agitated about the amount. TikToker \u2018Hunter\u2019 is a disabled Leukemia survivor who ordered takeout using GrubHub. She tipped her driver 26% and waited for her meal before getting hit with a text from the driver that read: \u201cTip your drivers better. Enjoy your food.\u201d It turns out that the driver had left the meal in the middle of Hunter\u2019s driveway, which is inaccessible to her due to her wheelchair. Hunter says she had to wait for an hour for her caretaker to arrive just so she could eat, and she\u2019s calling the ordeal \u201cdisability discrimination.\u201d Click here if TikTok fails to load.

They also sent Hunter a $100 voucher\u2026 but for Hunter, this \u201cisn\u2019t about the money.\u201d \u201cThis is about accountability,\u201d she said in a follow-up video. \u201cThis shouldn\u2019t have happened.\u201d However, Hunter made sure to note that, at the time of the incident, the driver was not aware of her disability. \u201cHowever, once he found out, and once I got this message from GrubHub, that\u2019s when I believe it became discrimination,\u201d she said.
