Each one us desperately track our delivery valet's journey when we order food. Our heartbeat gets faster as they are about to knock on our door (or keep the food outside, you know, contactless delivery) because food is love.
However, imagine how angry or disappointed you would be if you find out that your food has been eaten while it was on its way.
Well, turns out this is what happened with 21-year-old?Illy Ilyas from London whose food was devoured by her Uber Eats delivery driver. While she was waiting for her food, Illy received a text message from the driver which said, 'Sorry love, ate your food.'

She got in touch with Uber Eats and was able to reorder her food for free. However, she refused to blame the delivery driver.?
"Maybe he was really hungry. I wouldn't want to be the reason a peckish man gets unemployed in a pandemic," Illy told The Sun.
Contrary to how somebody else might react (with anger, of course), she found the whole incident quite amusing. She said,?"I found the whole thing funny. At least I know that the food was eaten. In the end, I got my food so I wasn't fussed. This has never happened to me before. But the message did add comedic value to my usually mundane Uber Eats order. So, for that, he is forgiven."??
