Man says he's in distress after RedMart delivered pork to his Muslim household
AsiaOne ^ | MARCH 06, 2023 | CHING SHI JIE

What's 'distressful'?

It's the feeling of being in distress and stressed out, this man said, after an online grocer delivered an item forbidden against his family's religion.

Taking to TikTok on Monday (March 6), user Khatimtai shared what RedMart – Lazada's online grocery delivery service – sent to his Muslim household a few days ago.

Packets of frozen minced pork, according to the 11-second clip.

"I'll be staying away from RedMart for the time being. It was a very distressful situation for me," Khatimtai said, adding that he hopes the online grocer would relook at their delivery process to minimise mistakes.

"Was it at the sorting facility? Or the delivery pallets got mixed up in the truck?" the man wondered.

In the TikTok video, Khatimtai also expressed his dissatisfaction with RedMart's help service after making a complaint about the delivery.

"It took a second [live] agent to properly apologise," the customer said. "Either way, do also provide training for customer sensitivities."

In an update to his own video, Khatimtai shared that Lazada's senior management had called him to offer their apologies in person.

Responding to AsiaOne's queries on Tuesday (March 7), Lazada shared that they have apologised to the customer.

"We have since contacted the customer and remained in close touch," the company's spokesperson said.

AsiaOne has contacted Khatimtai for more information.

$259 worth of groceries missing by another delivery app In an unsatisfactory experience with another online grocer, a woman's "advance order" of $259 worth of groceries was never delivered.

Recounting the "utterly disappointing" experience in May 2021, Estelle Liu said that she requested Foodpanda to deliver the goods to Chen Su Lan Methodist Children's Home.

But even when the app notified Liu of the successful delivery, her contact at the home did not receive the items.

Liu also expressed her unhappiness with Foodpanda's customer service support, which she said was "patronising" and gave her "empty promises".

Responding to AsiaOne's queries then, FoodPanda apologised for the woman's "negative experience', and provided a full refund of the order.

In the Torah, the penalty for eating or touching something unclean is that you’re not allowed to visit the temple or associate with people until the time passes where what was touched or consumed is no longer a risk to those around you.

It wasn’t permanent condemnation.

Then there was the day that I arrived at my boyfriend's house...with 5 lbs of shrimp that was on sale.

I was ecstatic...he not so much. Said it shouldn't be in the house.

Not a problem...I moved out and took my shrimp with me.

I was just thinking/wondering... isn’t there some kind of purification ritual the traumatized guy can do?

I knew a lady who was in AA for many years. Hadn’t touched a drink. Went to the ballgame, for some reason she offered to get us beers and hot dogs. One of the beers spilled a drop on her arm and with her hands full to she proceeded to lick it off. It was an “ooops” moment for her. She had to call her sponsor and go to an AA meeting to get blessed that it was OK and she didn’t lose her sobriety coin.

1. The guy orders pallets of food?
2. Strict Muslims can’t be near pork, but TikTok is blessed?
I’m done trying to tolerate all “special” people.

In Islam, everybody is supposed to adapt around you. That’s why in New York, where Muslims patrol their neighbourhood, they will burn down any liquor stores.

It isn’t enough for them to simply not buy alcohol. Whatever precepts they keep, everybody else is supposed to keep it was well.

Get over it. It’s not as distressful as us Americans having to watch you pigs hold down our fellow Americans and cut off their heads with a knife.

OMG! He has been offended! What are we to do?

A _____________ (fill in the blank) has been offended. Just like the 6 billion people on earth have been offended by something every frigging day.

Well, my attention-whore radar went off. The Quran prohibits eating it but, if you do or if you have to, as they say “God is merciful” (meaning, Allah gets it — mistakes happen, move on). There’s nothing in the Quran about touching it and it’s considered a private decision. One Muslim did tell me that he always washed his hands after touching pork and that’s all the Quran required (seems like common sense to me).

That should be good for a million or so. Should be hundreds of lawyers willing to take the case.

Sure it wasn't Fedex?

Get over it.

If that's the worst thing that happened to you, today, consider yourself lucky.

It's not like they misgendered or deadnamed you./sarc

I'm distressed that so much good pork was wasted on someone who could not savor it as it should have been.   I would have pigged out on that!
