Netizens are rallying for an Angkas rider whose customer canceled after he already bought the order – and the drugstore wouldn’t refund the goods he bought!

Bogus Buyer, Fake Order?

An Angkas rider spent Php7k to buy meds and groceries at Mercury Drug. He even had to wait a long time for his turn at the counter, but after he was done with the purchase, the customer canceled the order!

Identified simply as ‘Kuya Aldwin’ by photo uploader Shiela Tibay, the Angkas rider reportedly spent a very long time queueing at the drugstore to buy the customer’s order. He had to shell out more than Php7k for the order, but he didn’t mind that as it was part of his job.

But after all the effort that he had gone through and the money he spent, the customer simply canceled the order! Perhaps the customer wanted the delivery to be done quickly but considering the measures that many business establishments impose to prevent the spread of COVID-19, services have become slower than usual.

What’s worse, Kuya Aldwin tried to get the items refunded at the Mercury Drug outlet but was told he could not do that, according to Tibay. So, the poor Angkas rider had to bring the items home – and he can’t even use most of the items that he bought for the customer.

A lot of netizens rallied for the rider; though there were some who slammed him for accepting the big order and not trying his best to get the items refunded – but that’s victim-blaming!

While many are angry at the customer for canceling the order, many also blasted the drugstore for not refunding the order even though they knew what happened to the rider’s order.
