A man was left with a $1,000 bill, after his 6-year-old son ordered a virtual buffet of food from several restaurants last weekend. This led to a string of unexpected deliveries, and maybe a starring role in an advertisement campaign.
Keith Stonehouse said the food piled up quickly at his home Saturday night, after he let his son use his cell phone to play a game before bed. He said the youngster instead used his father's online food ordering account to order food from one restaurant after another. The boy's mother, Christine Stonehouse, said that the online food app has reached out to the family and offered them a $1,000 gift card. The company also is considering using the family in an online promotional campaign.
Most of the food went into the family's refrigerators. They also invited some neighbors over to eat some of it. The father is planning to change his password.
