Feeley's Fish & Chip Shop received the unusual request from Fiona Cuffe on December 30. In the "'additional comments" section, she'd written, "Will you please stop in Spar on the way and get me Benylin cold & flu tablets and I'll give you the money, only ordering food so I can get the tablets I'm dying sick xx."
Feeley's shared a photo of the receipt on Facebook with the caption "Words absolutely fail me."
Despite being taken aback, the restaurant fulfilled the order -- and posted a picture of the much-needed flu pills before delivering them.
The original photo has been shared nearly 3,000 times on Facebook, with many commenters from around the world praising Feeley's customer service. Even Fiona's father John posted his thanks.
The restaurant's social media manager, Daniel Casey, told CNN they were "shocked to see such a strange request -- but I admired her skill to get what she needed!"
"And she stated she was dying, so of course we were happy to help.

LOVE this story. Very heartwarming.
“Will you please stop in Spar on the way and get me Benylin cold & flu tablets and I’ll give you the money, only ordering food so I can get the tablets I’m dying sick xx.”
Huh?
Apparently none of the pharmacies in her area deliver.
Great story, clever lady!
This is a story out of the UK, I think. Imagine a Domino’s driver being asked to stop by Walgreen’s to pick up Nyquil and they would be paid for the pizza and medication when they came to the door. The customer felt too ill to go out.
IMO, she really put the business in a tight spot no matter how things turned out.
Their socialized health system is mulling using the same technique for bypass surgery.
The Dominos drivers in my burg would do that for sure. We have some good ones.
You’re in Nevada. Will they also bring some hookers ?
Those require payment up front.

“IMO, she really put the business in a tight spot no matter how things turned out.”
But the savvy business turned it into a free publicity bonanza by posting it all to social media :)
would have been better if the food joint charged a bazillion dollars for delivery or she tipped the delivery person really well.
How does that stay on? Never mind, it’s nearly off already.
I thought this was going to be about a pseudoephedrine straw purchase for making crystal meth.
I may have delivered drugs as a pizza delivery guy back in the 80’s.
I think that’s from Hillary’s post election cruise for major donors.
You should be banned for posting that picture. Just on GP’s
It’s a plug-in.
