🎂 'Twas the Case of the Stolen Birthday Cake: 🎂
Today we ordered a birthday cake to celebrate a milestone birthday for attorney Gabrielle Beeferman.
Unfortunately, our plans were unexpectedly derailed when our pilfering Uber Eats delivery driver, Erica, decided to STEAL THE BIRTHDAY CAKE after pretending to leave it in our building’s lobby (which, by the way, also disregarded our instructions to deliver the order to our actual office on the 3rd floor).
This is not the first time we have had our Uber Eats order stolen. Part of the problem is that Uber Eats has built a system that rewards bad actors. Through the app, they refund you only for the cost of the item, not the tip paid to the driver. To get the tip back, we had to call them, sit on hold for a half hour, and then talk to 2 different people. They make it almost impossible to reach a human being. Most people are simply too busy to fight this hard or even notice that the tip was not refunded to them.
Well, Family Focused Legal Solutions has had ENOUGH. Today it's a birthday cake, but tomorrow it could be a family's groceries or a child's Christmas presents.
Attached please find:
EXHIBIT A: A photo of the crooked Uber Eats driver, Erica. (Her smile really lights up a room, doesn’t It?)
EXHIBIT B: The photo Erica sent us to “confirm” that the order was left on the table in the downstairs lobby.
EXHIBIT C: Surveillance footage from our downstairs lobby showing Erica, after taking the fake delivery photo, looking around to see If anyone was watching before walking out with the cake. (Erica, GIRL, look up for a security camera, not down the hall for some overtired accountant who may or may not step off the elevator soon. Such a rookie mistake.)
EXHIBITS D and E: Surveillance footage of Erica walking back to her car with the stolen cake. (Again, looking back and forth for people instead of up for security cameras.)
The Morris Township Police are also working to identify her through street cameras.
Erica, you just stole a cake (and delivery tip) from a law firm consisting of 9 tired and hangry (some also perimenopausal) women and 1 very patient man, all of whom really really wanted that cake today. Even though we are exhausted and working our butts off for our clients, we still have a lot of fight in us.
