A delivery boy's heartwarming gesture after he accidentally broke a customer's flower pot placed on their porch while he was at their home to deliver food has gone viral on the internet. The incident was shared by a Twitter user, Eli McCann who wrote that the executive called up her husband to apologise and even offered to pay for a replacement. However, he refused and said it was an accident and could have happened with anyone.
Taking to Twitter after the incident, Eli McCann wrote, "Husband ordered food delivery tonight and the dude who brought it accidentally knocked over a pot on our porch and he called to apologize and offered to pay for it and I heard husband say 'that could happen to anyone and you are a sweetheart who doesn't need to worry about this'."
Three days later, on May 31, Mr McCann took to the microblogging site to share that the delivery executive brought them a new flower pot and thanked them for being kind in a hand-written letter.
"The food delivery guy just dropped this off. I caught him as I was pulling up to the house and he was so sweet. I told him I tweeted about the interaction and that it went viral and he got a kick out of that," wrote Mr McCann.
The letter by the executive read, "Hello its your Uber, eats driver Jordan. I wanted to give you this pot as a replacement one I knocked over on Sunday, evening. I hope it was not a gift or sentimental value to you. Also thank you for being so kind gift about it. I know this one is probably not as nice but I hope you can find use for it. -Jordan."
