(217 Food Week)
I assume I have had someone spit in my food before. That why I’m always nice to anyone serving me or making my food. But it doesn’t always have to do with you being mean. Sometimes people just have a bad intention – like this guy!
A SoCal restaurant owner is outraged after he caught a Grubhub delivery driver wolfing down a customer’s order. The owner of Mexihanas Hibachi Grill in Long Beach says he was shocked when he saw the driver rip open the bag of food with his teeth and start digging into five dishes meant for one customer. He confronted the man who told him “it was his food.”
The owner still felt as though something was off, and when he went to check his surveillance cameras, he saw the man peel the plastic label off and bite the bag with his teeth before tearing into the dinner that wasn’t his.
However, by the time he was able to get in contact with the customer, the food had already been delivered. What’s more troubling, is that it was repackaged perfectly. The owner immediately informed the customer that his food had been tampered with and asked them not to eat it. He then prepared the customer another order and delivered it to them himself.
A spokesperson for Grubhub released a statement regarding the incident that reads:
“We have no tolerance for misconduct on our platform. The vast majority of our orders are completed without incident or complaint, and when things don’t go as planned, we work hard to make things right. Upon hearing of this situation, we took immediate action and suspended the driver from our platform. We’ve also reached out to the diner to address and help resolve the situation.”
