Michigan 6-year-old orders $1k worth of food on Grubhub when dad thought he was playing with phone

Six-year-old Mason Stonehouse was playing on his dad's phone before bedtime and spent about $1,000 on Grubhub orders. The food started coming to the Chesterfield Township family's home near Detroit around 9 pm Saturday night. And it kept coming.

"I said, 'What is going on? Why are you bringing me food?" his perplexed dad asked a food delivery driver according to an interview with. It finally clicked with him that he let his son use his phone earlier that night, telling the TV station that Mason was "going to town" with the Grubhub app. His father tried calling the restaurants to stop the orders once he figured out what had happened, but they told him to contact Grubhub. The leftover food was shared with neighbors and eaten as leftovers.

Grubhub said the company reached out to the Stonehouse family about their son's "unexpected spending spree" and offered them $1,000 worth of Grubhub gift cards.

So what? Put in an extra shift, get a side hustle and invest some savings to get the money back. So many communists these days smh
