When ordering takeaway food, the usual assumption is that once the food is ready, the only person who will enjoy it is the person who ordered it.
A viral video (received more than 973,000 views on TikTok) shows the Uber Eats delivery driver claimed by user @sarahfromflorida to accept orders from customers and put them in their own containers.
The video showed a man sitting on the side of the road. The poster claimed that this was an “oober” Eats driver. He took the noodles from the takeout container with his bare hands and put it in his own container. In the follow-up video, @sarahfromflorida said that this happened outside a restaurant called Mr. J’s Dogs and Burgers in Chicago. She said that the restaurant on the order was Friend’s Ramen.
When someone asked the poster that the video was sent to them by a friend, and how did the poster know that he was connected to Uber Eats, the poster replied that the restaurant confirmed that he was delivering the food.
One commenter stated that the order may be cancelled after he receives the order and he must keep it.
“The order may have been cancelled, and he must keep the food,” they wrote. “Because he doesn’t just sit there and do that.”
However, others consider this proposal to be flawed for several reasons. First, at the end of the video, the so-called Uber Eats driver took out a stapler from his backpack, put the half-filled container back into the paper bag that came in the order, and then closed the bag with staples -Make it look like if the order is unaffected. Secondly, some commenters think it is weird for the courier to carry his own take-out container and take a small portion of the food when the entire order is stolen.
“Watch the entire video,” one person pointed out. “He finally nailed the bag with the receipt again. If it is cancelled, there is no reason to do all this.”
The poster commented that the delivery was reported by her friends to the restaurant and Uber Eats, and they recorded the entire process. The person filming did not face the courier because he was worried that the driver would lash out.
