Discovering that someone is cheating on you is never a fun or pleasant, no matter the circumstances.
Often it is through sheer bad luck or information provided by a friend but rarely is it ever because of a fast food delivery driver.
Allow us to explain the bizarre but somehow reassuring story of Kayla Speer from West Burlington, Iowa.
In April, the 23-year-old was in a relationship with a man who lived three hours away from her.
The man in question was studying for his final exams and as a gesture of kindness she ordered him a Jimmy John's sandwich and had it delivered to his address.
The delivery went just as planned by Kayla definitely didn't expect the restaurant to phone her up afterwards to report what they had seen.
In a viral Twitter thread posted on Thursday she explained what happened:
"I was dating a guy for a few months then. We were long distance (about 3 hours away from each other). He was about to graduate college and was studying for his final exams.
I was at work one evening and thought I would do something nice for my bf and order him @jimmyjohns for dinner while he was studying for finals
When I was placing my order to the @jimmyjohns employee I let them know that this was for my boyfriend who lived in that city and that I wouldn't be present when the food was delivered since I'm 3 hours away. I also asked if it was okay for him to sign for me.
The order was placed & my bf had texted me a little bit before letting me know he was going to take a nap. So I sent him a text saying "hey, foods on the way for you. Please leave a tip." I didn't hear back from him for a bit, but I just assumed he was sleeping.
A little bit later I got a text from my bf saying "thank you" then a few moments later I received a call from @jimmyjohns
I picked up assuming they were just informing me that the food was delivered or maybe there was something wrong with my card, but I was dead wrong....
They @jimmyjohns delivery driver asked me if this order was for my bf and I said yes it was and that I didn't live in the same city as him and that I was surprising him. I thought that was odd because I told them originally that the order was for my bf.
The delivery driver continued by saying this..."look, we usually don't do this, but I think you would like to know...when we walked up to the door to your bf's place we were able to see into his apartment and he was in his boxers with a naked woman on top of him on the couch
I had a few follow up questions for the delivery guy (extrememly upset and confused) which he so graciously answered which confirmed that it was in fact my bf who was on the couch with the naked woman.
So that's how I found out my boyfriend was cheating on me. BY THE JIMMY JOHNS DELIVERY GUY. @jimmyjohns
I do want to thank @jimmyjohns for their incredible service to their customers. Not many would do what that delivery driver did, and I'm very grateful he called me and was honest about the situation. #WWJJD (What Would Jimmy Johns Do?)"
In an interview with BuzzFeed Kayla explained that the delivery driver felt very awkward about the situation.
He was like, "Honestly, it was so awkward I just wanted to get out of there, so I just gave him the sandwich and left."
She then confirmed that she phoned her boyfriend up to confront him about the situation.
"I was like, 'Jimmy John's just told me the situation.
And he tried to make up a lie, saying, 'It wasn't me,' but it was."
After the story began to get more eyes on it everyone began to compliment Jimmy John's on their outstanding customer service.
Eventually, Jimmy John's stepped in and confirmed that they are willing to throw her, get this, a breakup party!
John Shea, Jimmy John's Chief Marketing Officer told BuzzFeed:
"We're freaks about everything we do, from our products to our process. And customer service is no exception."
Kayla has confirmed that the party will happen but she hasn't said when it will take place.
In addition, she said that she hasn't spoken to the delivery driver since but thanked him for what he did for her.
"Most people wouldn't do what he did, and that's awesome that he did."
