Some of us do odd or side jobs to earn a little extra cash, but they can sometimes lead to some once-in-a-lifetime stories to tell.

Take Chrishalea Farley, a 39-year-old Black woman who was going about her day delivering orders as an Instacart driver. One afternoon, she was requested to deliver an order to a place where most people hope never to end up: state prison.

In a video posted to her TikTok, Farley detailed the entire incident. Sheโ€™s since received more than 590,000 views on the social media platform.

โ€œYโ€™all I done seen it all. This man from prison done ordered him a whole platter of wings and them folks told me to turn right back around because he can not have this,โ€ said Farley.

She displays the entire platter of food included in his order, which also included a side of potato wedges. Although Farley wasnโ€™t able to deliver the food, she took the whole experience pretty lightly, finding the encounter amusing.

She later said, โ€œI donโ€™t know what yaโ€™ll folks in Jackson (Georgia) be doing but yโ€™all be trippinโ€™...Look yโ€™all I just left the prison, they told me to turn it back around and donate it to somebody else.โ€

The workers at Georgia Diagnostic and Classification State Prison did not know sheโ€™d be donating the food to herself, later saying in the TikTok video, โ€œGod may not come when you want him, but heโ€™s right on time cause guess what me and my kids are eating for dinner tonight. Some wings and some potato wedges!โ€

Essentially, Farley and her family were paid $15.66 to eat a platter of wings. Sounds like a good deal.
