Food delivery apps like DoorDash are a tiny luxury that makes life easier. For a couple of extra dollars, someone brings groceries or dinner to your door, and that’s the entire transaction.
There’s usually nothing dramatic about these interactions. But every now and then, a perfectly normal order turns into a story you run to tell the internet, especially when it looks like your delivery driver might’ve broken the law for you.
That’s exactly what one Oregon woman claims happened during a routine DoorDash order to make banana bread.
How Did The DoorDash Driver Break The Law?
TikTok creator Alexis (@alexisdreier04) shared a short clip that went viral with over 1.4 million views, calling attention to her surprisingly heroic, and potentially criminal, shopper.
She starts the video by filming what she received. “A huge shout out to my DoorDash shopper, Ryan,” she says, holding up her bananas. “That’s a big bunch of ‘nanas.”
She then lifts the item she meant to buy: a single cooking pan. “Also, I ordered one pan. Guess what this b—- did?” she says, as she reveals it’s actually two pans stuck together. “He stole one for me. H— yeah.”
In her caption, she tries to give Ryan the benefit of the doubt. “I actually doubt he knew the pans were stuck together,” she wrote.
Commenters Are Obsessed With Ryan
“Ryan never wanted a tip. He wanted some banana bread,” one person wrote.
“You better find Ryan and give him some banana bread,” another added.
One user imagined the driver’s thought process: “He said ‘make 2.’”
“This is the opposite of weaponised incompetence, it’s weaponised compliance,” wrote another.

What Might’ve Actually Happened Here?
Alexis’ theory that the pans were stuck together is very possible. Stores often stack cookware so tightly that two pieces look like one. Employees or shoppers sometimes yank them apart without realizing they’re supposed to separate them before scanning each one. If a store worker grabbed a pair by mistake, the extra pan could have made it from the shelf, to the bag, to Ryan, without anyone noticing.
It could have also happened during Ryan’s checkout. Self-checkout lanes scan the barcode, not the shape, and most registers don’t weigh pans the way they weigh produce. If he placed the stack down as a single item, the system wouldn’t have caught it.
