H-E-B’s Favor supply app is in scorching water with Jared Padalecki. The Supernatural star, who lives in Austin, took to X on January 4 to rant a few botched sushi order. Celebrities, they’re identical to us.
The kerfuffle occurred when the actor determined to order some grub whereas recovering from a damaged leg. Solely half of the order arrived, and, effectively, Padalecki wasn’t precisely happy. He contacted the driving force to recuperate his lacking rolls.
“So, my Favor supply driver went BACK to the restaurant (the opposite half of my order was nonetheless there), and tried to seize it to ship it to me,” defined the Walker actor in an expletive-laden submit. “He referred to as his Favor bosses (he was on speakerphone, and the hostess on the restaurant heard each phrase of the dialog and recounted it to me) and so they informed him to NOT ship the rest of my order to me, despite the fact that I had already paid and tipped in full.”
If the motivation was to spur a boycott, Padalecki’s parasocial followers didn’t chunk. Though some have been fast to share their very own customer support frustrations, most have been extra involved with the actor’s harm — posting gifs, AI-generated graphics of golden retrievers, and even Christmas presents like a Supernatural-themed Funko Pop figurine.
“In fact I’m sorry about your meals — however I’m way more involved about the way you broke your leg, what this implies for the film, and why DoorDash isn’t already dealing with this,” wrote one commenter, seemingly complicated Texas-based Favor with one other supply app.
The Gilmore Women heartthrob is not any stranger to utilizing social media’s bully pulpit. In 2014, Padalecki focused Fort Price-based American Airways, claiming the corporate’s customer support sickened him.
And in 2016, he railed in opposition to a Minneapolis restaurant referred to as Constantine, posting a photograph of the server he claimed gave him the “worst service of his life.” The incident reportedly triggered the eatery to be bombarded with one-star evaluations and to deactivate its Fb web page.
Whether or not the hissy match earned him a refund or an additional California roll is anybody’s guess. The star didn’t observe up on his irritating second, and an e-mail to Favor’s media inbox bounced again.
