In today's Dear Annie column, a woman received a food delivery from a friend, but it was dropped off somewhere else and she never received it.
While food delivery services have made it easier to share a meal, one Dear Annie reader appreciated a friend's gesture, even if she didn't receive the food.Shortly after my daughter’s surgery, I received a text notification that I had received a food delivery gift from a friend. This text came directly from the delivery service, with a photo of the delivery sitting at my front door.
The trouble was, itWhat would be the polite way to address this? Of course I want to thank the gifter, but should I let them know I never actually got the gift? I’d feel bad having them put even more effort into their gift, as I know those delivery services can be a real hassle. And I wouldn’t expect them to buy it again. -- Signed but Not DeliveredNo one said modern gifting was easy. First and foremost, express your gratitude to your friend.
