Uber Eats has become a helpful tool for ordering food when stuck at home or just craving that burger from a favourite restaurant, but residents of a New Westminster, B.C. neighbourhood are fed up because they've been receiving deliveries they never ordered.
From large orders like 10 bags of McDonald's to small like a single order of gravy, the residents and even police were left puzzled.
As Travis Prasad reports, whether it's someone's idea of a prank or something more sinister, residents are fed up.

I was thinking the same Thing, like first off it's free food, and secondly if you don't want it then give it to the homeless.... Hell I know families who have a hard time affording food and have kids, they would love getting free food.

@stellasanna Год назад

As an Uber driver I can tell you that in newer neighbourhoods the GPS doesn't know where the addresses are. I had one yesterday that took me to a completely wrong house. I however contacted my customer to ask where I might find their house. There are a number of new neighbourhoods going up in my city and so I have to contact customers regularly to find them or I contact Uber support through the app. If drivers are just following the pin on their map it's their responsibility to verify the address before dropping off.

I understand getting a ton of deliveries constantly that aren't yours Could get annoying. However, if nobody comes to claim the items then it's yours at that point like just eat the free food or give it to the homeless people. I don't know like there's got to be something I know that it can often be difficult or confusing when customers don't specify where exactly their apartment is located. Sometimes the GPS will take me to the wrong location and I have to contact the person who ordered it to specify... However, I'm with DoorDash, not Uber eats.

@writerpatrick Год назад

Either there's an error in the app that causes it to enter the wrong address, or someone's using the address with the intent to take the food from the location. Since so many are coming from McDonalds, I would go into the nearby stores and talk with the manager about the issue. They could stop deliveries to that address. The police aren't taking it seriously enough nor actually doing a few simple things they could do, like going to the restaurants and finding out what credit card numbers were used to make the deliveries with.

@Trythis837 Год назад

Bahahahahaha I had a piece of heavy equipment stolen and the police refused to review street light camera footage. I highly doubt they’re going to investigate free food being given to someone.

@Thunor93 Год назад

Police aren't gonna waste their time on this, it's food, now if the food was poisoned or laced then they would interfere, but at this point they don't see the harm. It's free food , if you don't want it then give it away to the homeless or to the families who have a hard time affording food and have kids who are probably hungry.

@AdamWood Год назад

That's not how this works. McDonald's doesn't know the addresses it's all in the app. McDonald's might be one of the only places that deliver out to a new neighborhood.

@misz3 Год назад

No, the stores do not have access to the address the order is for. I remember working at a restaurant and I did to go orders, the resturaunt has no customer personal information besides name and the food order itself. You have to contact Uber eats/doordash and they have to sort it on their end.
