This wasn’t the kind of “smashburger” they were looking for.
A food courier has been ripped up and down after they were filmed stomping and kicking a customer’s delivery order right outside their home.
“I initially thought a fox got to it,” Monique Johnson, from London, told Jam Press of her dinner’s beatdown.
The 30-year-old had reportedly ordered a $23.59 order of Popeyes’ Chicken via Uber Eats at around 3 a.m. Saturday, May 17, with the driver arriving an hour later, vittles in hand.
Due to the uncommon hour, the nocturnal nosher said she instructed the delivery driver to phone her when outside so he wouldn’t wake a sleeping family member.
Unfortunately, she never received a call or message, and, without any alerts to wake her, the Brit subsequently dozed off.
When Johnson awoke the next morning, she was appalled to find her flattened bag of food sitting outside her door.
“I threw the food in the bin as I was confused as to why it was flat,” recalled the horrified customer, who checked her doorbell cam to see what had transpired.
The footage showed the courier snapping a pic of the bag, then kicking and smashing it with his foot, before storming back to his vehicle.
The actions didn’t earn Johnson’s stamp of approval.
“Even if I didn’t answer the door or my phone, why would you take a photo acting like you delivered the food … then stamp on it and kick it?” she said.
The patron claimed she filed a complaint with Uber Eats but never received a response. She subsequently posted a video of the incident on TikTok, where it racked up thousands of views.
Following the upload, Uber followed Johnson on TikTok, but has yet to contact her directly, she told Jam Press.
This isn’t the first time an Uber Eats employee has ransacked a customer’s order.
Last year, a food courier named Tom copped to swiping customers’ fries, saying he sometimes can’t resist, especially when the packaging isn’t sealed.
“When you’re stuck in traffic with someone’s [fries] next to you, and you’ve not eaten in hours, it’s tough,” lamented Tom.
