Many Twitter users responded to the clip, which has been seen more than 4.7 million times, by expressing outrage over the fact that someone had felt it necessary to order food.

"Hi folks, I promise you'll be okay if you just make yourself a PB&J for the night," @DatFirePrincess wrote. "Or even if you eat the peanut butter straight from the jar. Don't make people deliver food to you in weather like this. What the fuck?"

"Shame on the person who made the order, and bigger shame on grubhub for accepting the order. The poor delivery person doesn't deserve this," another person added.

The viral video also led many to discuss the current state of the economy as well as poverty in modern day America.

"Forcing your way through dangerous floodwaters in the middle of a storm to deliver someone a burger is the reality of the poverty and precarity at the heart of the gig economy," @bencsmoke added.

2. In the original story, the photographer said he didn't

know if it really was a Grubhub, order. He was just using it generically.

4. Outrage should be directed towards the company too.

Ya don't send workers out there in that mess.

5. I, me, mine and now.

What kind of tip is appropriate to give to someone who risk their lives to bring you dinner?

6. The driver could be fined for stupid

motorist here in Arizona. I doubt the one who placed the order would have to share in the fine.

That being said I agree that what ever company accepted the order should have said no.
