Fresh Direct warning

Fresh Direct warning

Read this terrible story at Metroblogging NYC about a woman home alone who gets a delivery from Fresh Direct, which initially had a much-touted "no tipping" policy, though tipping is now optional.

He then said "Where's my tip?"

Aghast. I immediately decided not to tip him. Wrong answer. The guy put his foot in my door and would not let me close it, demanding his tip. I tried to close it, my heart beating faster realizing I'm a single female who lives in a studio with all my neighbors out already for the night. I think by the third time, he realized it too, pushed his way into my apartment and demanded I give him money. I gave him all the cash I had which amounted to only about $10. He left and said, "I meant tipping isn't optional."
