An Uber Eats customer was stunned when her delivery driver sent her a message saying: ‘Sorry love, ate your food’.
Illy Ilyas, 21, placed a £14.71 order for two burgers, chips and a chicken wrap from Bim’s in Ilford, east London on Saturday using the Uber Eats app.
She received a message saying her food was on the way and another notification saying the driver was nearby.
However, instead of dropping off the order, the courier sent Illy the message revealing he had eaten her food.

After reopening the app, she was told the food had been delivered – and was even prompted to give the driver a tip.

The law student refused to blame the driver, however.
She told the Sun: ‘Maybe he was really hungry.
‘I wouldn’t want to be the reason a peckish man gets unemployed in a pandemic.
I found the whole thing funny. At least I know that the food was eaten.
‘In the end, I got my food so I wasn’t fussed.
This has never happened to me before.
‘But the message did add comedic value to my usually mundane Uber Eats order. So, for that, he is forgiven.’
