When he finished his purchases, the bank stopped them. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodmorningamerica.com\/food\/story\/grubhub-offers-1000-gift-cards-parents-after-sons-96815372\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">It was successful<\/a> Place your order \u201c$439 worth of pizzas.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThat would\u2019ve been on top of the thousand dollars worth of food that was piling in my kitchen,\u201d Keith Stonehouse was his father.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Stonehouse claimed that his son played a game on his smartphone for 30 minutes before he went to sleep. Delivery drivers from tHe GrubHub app started coming to the child\u2019s home after he went to bed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI was putting Mason to bed and saw a car pull up and the doorbell rang with the driver dropping off a big bag of stuff,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlive.com\/news\/2023\/01\/michigan-boy-6-spends-1k-on-grubhub-doorbell-just-kept-ringing-cars-kept-coming.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Telled<\/a> MLive was earlier in the week. \u201cMy wife owns \u2018A Slice of Heaven Cakes\u2019\u00a0bakery and it was a big wedding weekend, so I thought it was just someone dropping off decorative stuff they used from her. But it was from Leo\u2019s Coney Island. I said, \u2018What the heck?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThe doorbell rang again and it kept happening. Car after car. Cars were pulling into the driveway while others were pulling out. I finally asked one of them what they were delivering. He said we ordered chicken shwarmas [sic]. I took the food and then it hit me. I looked at my phone with repeated messages that my food was getting ready, my food was being delivered. I looked at my bank account and it was getting drained,\u201d He concluded by adding<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI looked at my phone and all of a sudden I see \u2018Grubhub, Grubhub, Grubhub\u2019 and in that same second all these cars and all these lights and the doorbells going off,\u201d Stonehouse <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodmorningamerica.com\/food\/story\/grubhub-offers-1000-gift-cards-parents-after-sons-96815372\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Telled<\/a> Good Morning America interview with Zoom \u201cThey kept coming and they kept coming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThis was like something out of a \u2018Saturday Night Live\u2019 skit,\u201d Stonehouse stated. \u201cI was probably a 9.5 out of 10 anger while it was happening. The next day, I was at an eight and now I\u2019m at about a three. I don\u2019t really find it funny yet, but I can laugh with people a little bit. It\u2019s a lot of money and it kind of came out of nowhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cHe\u2019s 6, so it doesn\u2019t kind of sink in. It\u2019s not like if our 13-year-old did this, then it would sink in to him,\u201d Stonehouse was noted. \u201cTrying to explain this to a 6-year-old, we told him we took money out of his piggy bank to pay for this bag of food and this one and so on. We could tell he was upset, but we don\u2019t know if it has really sunk in. That\u2019s the frustrating part.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Restaurants charging so much for orders to go could shock many. Americans are feeling the pinch of inflation especially when it is food. Restaurant food <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/news.release\/cpi.nr0.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Go<\/a> Decent was up 8.3% compared to the previous year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Stonehouse explained that most of the items were kept in the refrigerators of Stonehouse&#8217;s family. They also invited neighbors to come to their home to enjoy some of the food.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">After hearing about the incident, the company offered some assistance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">\u201cWe wanted to make things better for him and his family, so have offered to send him $1,000 worth of Grubhub gift cards,\u201d A representative spoke on Good Morning America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A young boy ordered $1,000 in food from GrubHub over the weekend after playing on his dad\u2019s phone.
