Delivery driver allegedly vandalizes local flower shop on Valentine’s Day
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – A Valentine’s Day disaster occurred for a local flower shop.
BG Bloom Room off of Morgantown Road had to halt all deliveries Friday after a shocking act of vandalism.
The shop owner says a delivery driver, allegedly frustrated over the wait time, punched through the front door, causing nearly $6,000 worth of damages.
The unexpected incident forced the business to stop all deliveries on what should have been one of its busiest days of the year.
Andi Barefoot, BG Bloom Room owner, says, “It’s affecting us in every single way. He kicked over, made arrangements. He ruined flowers that we had to make arrangements with. He delayed all of our DoorDash drivers from being able to get DoorDash orders because we had to cancel all our orders on DoorDash. And then on top of that, it also affected us just delivery wise for us because we had police cars here, we couldn’t get our delivery drivers out. And then most of our arrangements got ruined when he punched glass into the shop.”
Employees have spent the day calling customers, offering refunds, turning what should have been a day of love and celebration into one of frustration and disappointment.
