Uber Eats Customer Disgusted To Find Soiled Underwear in Food Order
By Alexandra Klausner | New York Post
It’s Uber gross!
Uber Eats cus- tomer Leo, who wished to be identified only by his first name, says he was shocked to
find feces- stained under- wear in food delivered to his Miami, Florida, hotel on Sunday night.
“Who thinks that you’re going to get delivered somebody’s dirty under-
wear?” Leo told WPLG. He called the find “disgusting, unhealthful — it’s potentially deadly.”
Leo, who was visiting Miami for Art Basel, said he used the Uber Eats app
to get food delivered from a nearby Japanese restaurant. When he went outside to meet the delivery driv- er, she ran away, which he thought was peculiar.
“I grabbed the food and right when I got the food she took off running and I was like, ‘That was kind of odd,'” Leo said.
What came next might explain why she was in such a hurry.
He took his food to his room and pulled out what he thought at first was a nap- kin.
“I thought, ‘This,’ when I was pulling it out, ‘This sure is a fancy napkin,'” Leo said.
Upon further inspection, he realized it was thigh-length underwear that appeared to be stained with human poo.
He immediately threw the under- wear back in the bag and called Uber, the restaurant and the police.
Uber refunded Leo’s order.
The company sent WPLG the following state- ment: “What’s been reported is very concerning. We are review- ing this order and reaching out to all parties involved to help understand what may have occurred. The courier has been removed from the app pending investi- gation.”
