I ordered food using Foodpanda and I opted for COD. Then the rider arrived with the food. Then he said there was something wrong with his phone... and then next he said it's my phone that's problematic (Okay...?). So he asked me to turn off my phone for 15 minutes. The first time it happened, I just did it. Because I didn't think it would be a problem. Then later I kept thinking but if my phone is off, won't that mean I'm not reachable? True enough, the order was cancelled in Foodpanda system after I switched my phone on again. 

Since the food did reached me I guess it's not really a problem? But why do I feel uneasy? Like I think I could get blamed for not being unavailable although it's the rider's instigating it. I think he's up to no good. I'm not familiar with how the payment works for COD between Foodpanda and the restaurants but I have a bad feeling that the rider is scamming Foodpanda itself. I don't know. Could be that. Or it's time for him to change his phone because it f*cked up twice already. I'm leaning towards the scamming theory.

Cunning and shady riders like this makes me feel wary about using Foodpanda again. Sigh. Maybe I should use less COD payments in the future to avoid this thing.
