A video which has gone viral on TikTok shows an Uber Eats driver being accused of drinking from a customers’ McDonald’s order before attempting to make the delivery.

The video, which was posted on September 15, starts by showing a delivery driver sitting on his motorbike while sipping away on a drink.

He seems to close the drink by repeatedly pushing the lid before putting it away into a McDonald’s delivery bag.

The person filming the video continues to capture the driver walking into a building with multiple bags.

The driver is then confronted by the person filming, as she says to him: “Hi excuse me, are you delivering that food?

“Are you delivering that to someone?”

The driver proceeds to look at his phone and then the woman and he says: “Sorry, number 88?”

She continues: “I’ve recorded you, do you know that? You ate their food, didn’t you?”

The driver, looking at his phone, says: “It’s number 88?.”

She responds: “My friend, you drank their drink, didn’t you? You drank the person's food and ate their food.”

The video ends with the driver looking at his phone and he says: “What’s your name? Jas?”.

The footage, which has more than 6.6 million views on TikTok, is captioned: “Caught in the act: Uber Eats Edition.”

Some people were left shocked in the comments of the video, with one commenting: “Nah, I’m not ordering food anymore.”

Another person said: “This is why I never get food delivered.” 

Online deliveries are ordered from the app of a chosen courier and the order is then put through to the chosen restaurant.

Drivers are designated a delivery which is picked up from the restaurant to be delivered to the customer.

It is unknown where and when the one-minute-long TikTok footage was taken.

The News Shopper has contacted Uber Eats regarding the viral video.
