Award-winning DJ, Ashley Raphala aka Shimza has claimed that his UberEats delivery driver found a way to steal his food on Wednesday night after making an order at KFC using the platform.
In a Twitter thread, Raphala wrote: “Uber Eats drivers have found a way to steal food, I had to call my gate to not let the driver out after completing the delivery without delivering the food, he says I cancelled while I saw him just pass my house, security brought him back after he refused to drive back @UberEats,” he wrote.
“It’s the last delivery of the day, the shop has closed so he wouldn’t be able to take back the food, passing my house was so that when Uber Eats checks his tracker it shows that he went to the address, all he has to say is that he did deliver,” added Raphala.
