Increasingly Difficult to Get Food Delivered to Saudi Consulate

by Daniel

Our reporters have discovered that tensions have reached a head between the Saudi Consulate and the available food delivery services today. After recent events, few Eat24ers, Grubhubers, or Smizmers have accepted offers to deliver food to the consulate.

For last week’s Taco Tuesday, Sharon(from HR) reported that she spent two hours staring at her phone as her app searched for a driver. When a nearby driver did finally accept, delivery did not go as intended. Upon seeing who he was delivering to, the driver stood frozen for a solid twenty minutes, his hand inches from the front door of the consulate, before he dropped the food and bolted for his Honda Accord. Several tacos were critically damaged in the fall. Even Friday donuts had to be cancelled when the delivery driver instead left an empty donut box at their door with a note that read “Nice try.”

Today is Janet(from AR)’s birthday and Saudi officials are determined to have this issue resolved in time for her lunch. This birthday is considered by many to be a “big one.” They issued a formal warning via state media that any foreign delivery service “who refuses to bring us our quesadillas will be considered an enemy of Saudi Arabia.”

*Update: An Uber Eats driver named Chaz has agreed to offer the Saudi consulate delivery through a designated third party location.

**Update: Turkish officials have intercepted Janet’s lunch.
