Pennsylvania Uber Eats Driver Takes 2 McDonald's Orders. One Order is 9 To-Go Bags That Only Pays $10 ($1.10 per Bag)

A Pennsylvania Uber Eats driver picks up two orders at a Philadelphia area McDonald's. One order is just one to-go bag, but the second order is 9 Large To-go bags that line the counter and the order only pays $10. The driver says, "The money [is] already not lining up."

Driver Delivers 9 McDonald's Bags & No Tip Given

An Uber Eats driver that goes by the username 'Beyond Called' posted a video on 23 June 2023 showing that a business ordered 9 bags and is only paying him $10 for this batch, which comes to $1.10 per bag.

Chances are he will have to make several trips into the building if they don't provide a cart or assistance to him.

In his TikTok video, he said:

"This is my McDonald's order...I got two orders. That's one order"... (showing one bag) and then says, "That's two orders..." (Showing 9 additional bags lining the counter) "...and the money already not lining up," he says.

He points the camera at the single bag.

"The money for this bag was okay." He then shows the 9 bags and says, "They payin' me $10 to deliver all this right here. $10 bucks, so we gonna see what the tip we get from this situation. Hold the phone." -Beyond Called on TikTok

In the next scene, the Uber Eats delivery driver is at his destination, showing a building (seen in the picture below).

"Whatever this building is right here, this is the building that ordered all that food, this is the business that ordered all that food and didn't give one tip." -Beyond Called on TikTok

It doesn't look good when a business orders 9 To-go bags from McDonald's and doesn't give a tip. Delivery drivers need to make a living, and count on tips to make ends meet.

Josh enters the home and Vernalisa follows him. They barely get inside and Josh says, "Ohhhh, okay."

Vernalisa replies, "What?" and exits quickly before seeing the vulture. Josh follows her back onto the front porch.

Josh tells her, "There's a vulture in the house."

She says, "A what?"

He says, "A vulture."

Vernalisa says, "Liar." He reconfirms it, and she calls him a "liar" once more.

Vernalisa says, "What are you talking about?"

Josh says, "That scared me."

Vernalisa asks, "Where is Georgia? Is she okay?"

Josh opens the front door again and they call for their dog to come outside on the front porch.

Then Vernalisa says, "What vulture? What are you talking about?" before asking "How did it get into the house?"

Josh replies, "Through the doggie door."

Vernalisa says she is "We're never opening that doggie door again."

Moments later on the security camera, Vernalisa says, "I'm gonna get the umbrellas."

She is seen grabbing two umbrellas in the picture below and they walk around the house to the back deck.

Moments later, the vulture is seen hopping onto their back deck and flying to perch on a neighbor's roof.

The video can be seen below.

An Alabama Pastor was 'Afraid a Cow was Going to Charge Through a Church Window'. It Charges at an Animal Control Officer Instead

An Alabama pastor was concerned for the children after a cow made it onto the Taylor Road Baptist Church campus in Montgomery, Alabama. Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) animal control officers arrived on the scene to rope the wayward cow, but it wasn't going to leave without trying to evade the law.

An Alabama cow made its way through the Shoppes of EastChase shopping center in Montgomery on Tuesday. This cow was enjoying its freedom too much while trotting through the area and ending up on a Baptist church campus.

Cow Wanders Through Shoppes of EastChase

WSFA 12 News confirmed the cow sighting from Suzanna Wasserman Edwards as she prepared for the grand opening of Nothing Bundt Cakes on Tuesday, 20 June 2023. She noticed the cow heading toward Dillard's.

Police arrived to help the cow cross Berry Hill Road into a grassy field located next to Amped Fitness.

Some may have thought the cow crisis ended there, but lo and behold, the wayward cow kept on disturbing the peace as it ventured onto a church campus to cause a ruckus.

Cow Arrived at Taylor Road Baptist Church Campus

Around 10 a.m., Senior Paster Daniel Atkins contacted authorities after the cow found itself backed into a corner of the Taylor Road Baptist Church campus next to a Trane unit. It can be seen in the picture below as it was pawing at the ground.

Church Pastor: Cow 'Pawing the Ground'

Daniel Atkins, the Senior pastor of Taylor Road Baptist Church was concerned that the cow might try to charge through the window. Over 200 kids were in attendance at Vacation Bible School at the time.

“We were actually concerned she was going to charge through a window. She was staring at people who were standing at the window and she was pawing the ground.” -Senior Pastor Daniel Atkins, Taylor Road Baptist Church

The cow never entered the church building.

An animal control officer from ALEA can be seen in the video below trying to lasso the cow as it runs past him. He gets the rope on its head on the first pass but it isn't secure and the officer is pulled down to the ground trying to hang on. Shortly after, they are able to rope the cow and take it away.

The church’s VBS theme was “Twists & Turns,” and that’s exactly what played out outside, as crews tried to wrangle the cow. @wsfa12news pic.twitter.com/1HEiF1k8yr

A Realtor Finds a Million Pennies in Crawlspace of his Late Father-in-Law's L.A. Home. He Listed Them on OfferUp for $25K

A Canadian realtor finds over a million pennies after cleaning out his late father-in-law's Los Angeles home. He can't find a bank that will take all of his pennies in one batch, so he has turned to the app OfferUp to sell them. At face value, it would cost a person $10,000 to buy a million pennies, but he has priced this lot of copper pennies at $25,000.

What would you do with a million pennies? Would you build a vault and swim around in them like the fictional character Scrooge McDuck? Or would you donate them to a worthy cause?

A realtor can't find a bank willing to take all of his pennies at once. In fact, one bank said, "Don't bring them here." Is that even legal?

Man Finds At Least a Million Pennies in Late Father-in-Law's Home

KTLA 5 News reported that realtor John Reyes is in a quandary after going through the belongings in his father-in-law's former home and discovering over a million pennies in the crawlspace. His father-in-law, Fritz had this home that was built in the 1900s and is thought to have been a bed-and-breakfast at one time.

After Fritz passed away, the family went through the belongings in the house, and during that time they found the pennies.

The family would like to renovate this home but first requires the arduous task of going through all of the belongings. This is when they make the discovery of all of the pennies.

John spoke to KTLA 5 News with words that many of us can relate to when speaking about our grandparents' homes.

He said, “They kept everything,” which is a polite way of not saying his father-in-law was a "hoarder," referring to those that are unwilling to throw away anything in their home.

They were able to confirm that the pennies found were copper after selecting three random bags and checking through them. After weighing the bags, they estimated that there are at least 1 million pennies in this stash they found, and they moved them to another location for "safekeeping."

The task of moving the pennies took them a whole day.

John said:

“Literally bag-by-bag, we had to take them out of the basement, up the stairs, and into the trucks … it took hours,” Reyes said. “It took a whole day just to get them out of the crawlspace.” -John Reyes

John and his family decided it wouldn't be prudent to take the pennies to a Coinstar machine, after all, they do charge an 8% fee, and also agreed that it wouldn't be possible to take them back to Ontario, Canada.

One Wells Fargo branch manager in California told John:

“‘I don’t even have the room in my vault. ‘Don’t bring them here.'” -Wells Fargo branch manager

After deciding that it would be easier to sell them than to transport them, John listed the pennies on the OfferUp app for $25,000, but KTLA 5 News reported that this is "more than double the $10,000 value in normal currency" at face value (not taking into account any pennies that might be valuable).

The video can be watched below.

Update: Someone Purchases the Pennies

John Reyes found a buyer for the million pennies, but did not disclose how much they were sold for.

Thoughts

What would you do if you found a million pennies? Would you go through them and find rare and valuable coins, or would you sell them like the owner in the story above?
