For all the "You couldn't do this in 2021 without...." commenters, have a gander at what Deliveroo did in France for April 1. 'Prank' confirmation orders for 450 EUR worth of delivery sent to thousands of customers.
How absolutely touched do you have to be to think this is a good prank for a company whose business model is processing orders for people who are tight on cash in the middle of a pandemic?
Good christ.
"Confuse, don't abuse" is the mantra of a good prank. If the victim isn't laughing later, then it wasn't in good taste.
Just cashed in/out on an IPO touched.
From the article: But few customers were amused. One of them said he had "almost had a stroke"
Even if you are savvy enough to know that you won't have to pay, the stress of having to deal with a faceless corporate to correct your account is very real. How many cumulative years have they wiped off their customers' lives with this rubbish prank. There should be a huge fine, multiples of 450*number of customers exposed.
