USA Stolen

What’s going on in Atlanta today?? 😅 nearly ever other order was stolen by a driver. I figured it was too good to be true…

If it’s worth it, place the order and pay out of pocket. The other day I got an offer for $70ish from Burger King. Of course it was stolen. Told I was like the 10th driver trying to pick it up! Looked at the order details and it was just a single Whopper. Placed the order myself and delivered it. Easy $60 profit! Not the first time I’ve done it either.

What if the customer is the one who picked it up already? I imagine they’ll pull some other shenanigans that will screw you over somehow.

Customer will just get more food for free. They won’t be complaining! And as far as UE is concerned, you completed the delivery successfully. All good.

But if you complete the order they won’t get refunded for the order they picked up. And then their scam didn’t work. While they would get an extra order for free, I would only assume they’re scummy/trashy enough to get upset that someone out smarted them and likely wouldn’t even be able to eat the second order while it’s fresh. Idk I’ve seen too many crazy posts I guess.

I see what you’re saying. But, I’m willing to bet most of these stolen orders aren’t actually “stolen” by the customer themselves.
