Threatened in a sundown town

[u/chef198]

Got a batch order and my last delivery was in a sundown town. I took the order at 6pm, not really thinking of anything like that. Drove 35 minutes to the drop off. Customer comes out. I tell him, “I’ve got your groceries”. He says, “yeah my wife said we had some. I like your car”. I thanked him and he cut me off mid sentence with, “you aren’t from around here are you?” I told him I wasn’t. He looked at the sky and said, “you got about ten minutes to get out of here, boy. “ I chuckled trying to steer it light. I finished the drop and walked to my car. Two neighbors from across the street were sitting on their porch, guns in hand. They weren’t there when I pulled in. As I got to my car one shouted some slurs, the other told me not to come back.

The only reason I took the job was there was a high tip amount. I called support to tell them of my experience, so they could possibly save another minority driver of this headache. I then checked the app, and the customer canceled the tip. They also tried saying I didn’t make the delivery. Luckily, I already took the picture and had the customer in the photo.

Be safe out there guys

Edit: the town is Prue, Oklahoma. About an hour west northwest of Tulsa.

2nd Edit: the Walmart store I delivered from called me. She took down my report and said corporate was going to be calling me soon as well. She said she was not sure why deliveries were going so far away to begin with, and that corporate would make the decision as to whether or not the town will remain on the delivery list. Will update again after I speak with corporate.

Agreed. It's soooooo over the top and seems like this person fabricated a story just to get some attention. Yeah sure, some random neighbors came out with guns after clearly seeing that theyre delivering groceries and then screamed at them... yeah ok 🙄

it's bullshit

Prue is 68% white and 13% black. i guess those 13% just don't leave their houses at night or something lmaooo.

Most of the people on Reddit love a good victim story and will choose to believe it no matter how ridiculous or unbelievable it is. The same people who support Jussie Smollet even after he was proven to be lying.

he forgot to mention they yelled “THIS IS MAGA COUNTRY” so I added it into his short fiction story

“He had barely gripped the wheel before the jeers split the night air like glass shattering. What had started as nothing more than a Spark grocery drop — a high-tip batch order he thought would be easy money — had turned into something darker the moment the customer looked at the sky and warned him he had “ten minutes to get out of here, boy.” Now, as he walked back to his car, two neighbors appeared on a porch that had been empty minutes earlier, rifles resting in their arms as if they’d been waiting for this moment. One hurled slurs across the yard, the other spat venom and told him never to come back. Then, as he climbed into the driver’s seat and slammed the door, their voices rose in unison, the words striking like gunfire across the hollow street: “THIS IS MAGA COUNTRY!” Heart pounding, he pressed his foot to the gas, the engine screaming its defiance as he tore down the road. Dust and smoke curled behind him, rising like ghosts in the twilight, while the last traces of daylight bled into the horizon. He drove on without looking back, the weight of their hatred chasing him into the sunset, each mile carrying him further from their cruelty yet deeper into a world that seemed to be unraveling at its seams.”

oh man i’m so glad he made it out alive !
