The Number One Reason Food Delivery Drivers Should Not Be Allowed To Smoke Weed!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

Have you ever received your UberEats or GrubHub delivery and thought, "Hm, that meal usually includes more french fries?" If so, you may have been onto something. 

A recent survey found that nearly 30% of delivery drivers admit to nibbling on some of your food before dropping your meal off.

The nausea-inducing findings came to the surface after foodservice distributor US Foods asked about 500 food delivery drivers and 1,500 customers who order through apps about their "habits and pain points."

Twenty-one percent of customers who use apps like UberEats, GrubHub, Doordash and Postmates say they suspected that a delivery driver took food at some point, and 54% of drivers admitted to being tempted by the smell of a customer's food. About half of those drivers actually took a bite.

1. You've posted a lot about people licking food in stores and restaurants

And now fast food delivery drivers nibbling on people's orders. You must eat a lot of home-cooked meals with an iron shield around the table, huh Floyd?

to keep out persistent food thieves.

2. I'm curious

about the numbers. Does that mean that 30% of delivered meals have something pinched off of them, or that 30% of delivery drivers do this every once in awhile?

In any case, it's disgusting, and it's another reason NOT to have food delivered. At this point, I can still get up off my butt and get out to a place where somebody else is stuck with the dishes.

5. But have you not heard stories about what some of those kids do in the kitchens

of fast food joints? I don't know if the incidents would be as high as 30%, but there have been plenty of absolutely disgusting stories (and video) detailing the gross stuff -- including bodily fluids -- that they mix in with your grub.

Better stick to higher-end restaurants and keep your fingers crossed!

6. Yes

but most of the kids are supervised most of the time. Delivery drivers, especially independent contractors, have virtually no supervision.

I've noticed that every time the unemployment rate goes down, fast food service gets worse.

3. & why it makes sense to locate pot shops next to convenience stores, next to mini police precincts

One-stop "shopping"--> 1.get high, -->2. get the "munchies", -->3. "swipe" cheetos from the shelf
--> 4. await bail for your arrest... all in the next door over...

So convenient.

7. From Personal Experience;...

I would say that about 30+% of gig workers who drive as their exclusive source of income are generally angry about it. My guess is that a good percentage of the "yes I steal food" answers are fake.
