Molly Jewkes came across a new restaurant prominently featured on Postmates while scrolling through the food delivery app last month.
She decided to order dinner from the restaurant, Chicken Sammy’s, thinking she was supporting a local Portland business.
But her chicken sandwich arrived in a red container with utensils from Red Robin. A sticker with a picture of a chicken was affixed to the plastic bag the food came in.
