Happened twice this week.
Mrs Columbo ordered Chicken and Chips from our preferred shop in Woodville last week (if you know the area you likely know the one).
We are about a 10 - 15 min drive away but with priority the food is always hot when it arrives. Last Friday night we ordered a little later than usual and expected it would take a while but because of priority weren't too bothered.
We messaged the driver and he said the shop was crazy busy but it shouldn't be long. Checked the app about 10min later to see he was mobile, but instead of heading towards us he was now on Grange Road which is the opposite direction from us.
We messaged him and got no reply, then he called as he was heading back in our direction to say he had to do another pick up but ours was still the first drop off so we were still priority so don't worry. By the time he got to us it would have been 25-30 mins from when he left the shop with our order so no great surprise that everything in the bag besides the chicken was cold but he was adamant that he hadn't done anything wrong.
First time we have ever had that happen, we have had drivers stop along the way and pick up another order for Door Dash or Menulog a couple of times when we have paid for priority but most of the time find the drivers are usually really good.
