Most of the 7,041 commenters in the original video are confused about how the order even came through.

“Why would you order something that’s 700 miles away,” @adandonodadaa questioned.

“They expecting the flash to delivery that?” another user, @maadvillainy, asked.

“How they even let them order,” @big.gwil5 said.

Commenters also debated over if the delivery request was a system glitch, or if somebody really ordered from 700 miles away.

“It’s usually save your last order so bro was probably in Ohio last time he used Uber or whatever,” @oggcarson said.

“Bro was probably high or drunk. I did it once, had to give my driver $12 to bring it from my mom’s house that’s across the city from me, plus a tip,” @camry99 said.

The Daily Dot reached out to @kaelumgrantt for comment.

Update 3:24 pm CT Oct. 30: In a statement to the Daily Dot, a representative from DoorDash said, “What’s described in this video is certainly not intentional, and we are actively investigating this. We always seek to provide accurate information to Dashers for each delivery, which is why we provide information on earnings and mileage before a Dasher even accepts an order.”
