When someone else orders takeout and you don't want to take it, you can take the following measures:
Contact the delivery person or businessFirst, you can contact the delivery person or merchant and explain why you don't want to receive takeout. This may require explaining their situation clearly so that they can understand and assist in dealing with it.
Negotiate a refund: If the delivery has already been delivered to your door, but you don't want to receive it, you can try to negotiate a refund with the delivery person or merchant. They may agree to a refund of the order amount, or negotiate with the orderer.
Reserve takeaways: If you don't want a refund but don't want to receive takeaway, you can negotiate with the delivery person or merchant to leave the takeaway at your door or at a designated location. This way, you can avoid direct contact with takeaways while ensuring that takeaways aren't wasted.
Contact the platform's customer serviceIf none of the above methods can solve the problem, you can contact the customer service of the food delivery platform to explain the situation and ask for their help. The platform may provide solutions, such as assisting with refunds or coordinating merchant processing.
Please note that this may vary by region, platform, and merchant. When dealing with such issues, it is advisable to maintain communication and respect the fruits of others' labor. If it is true that you cannot receive takeaway, it is best to communicate with the orderer or merchant in time to avoid unnecessary troubles and misunderstandings.
