“One of the car owners was there when it happened and she seemed to take it well … I just stuck around long enough to see the look on the driver’s face when he came out of the building to find his truck moved, all Christine-like. Comedy gold.”

“Did anyone else see it?”

Jamzer adds: “A good argument could be made that it is safer for all of us when these trucks do not have drivers…”

Add this to the growing collection of stories about FreshDirect drivers, including the notable FreshDirect delivery guy “mugging” reported on Metroblogging NYC.

Not to mention this story from Captain M: “Last year in midtown, I chased down a FreshDirect truck (driver) who was driving with his back doors open. Normally, I would have just followed and waited for goodies to fall out of the back, but I was on a date and wanted her to think I had some morals and stuff.”
