It’s Uber gross!
Uber Eats customer Leo, who wished to be identified only by his first name, says he was shocked to find feces-stained underwear in food delivered to his Miami, Florida, hotel on Sunday night.
“Who thinks that you’re going to get delivered somebody’s dirty underwear?” Leo told WPLG. He called the find “disgusting, unhealthful — it’s potentially deadly.”
Leo, who was visiting Miami for Art Basel, said he used the Uber Eats app to get food delivered from a nearby Japanese restaurant. When he went outside to meet the delivery driver, she ran away, which he thought was peculiar.
“I grabbed the food and right when I got the food she took off running and I was like, ‘That was kind of odd,'” Leo said.
What came next might explain why she was in such a hurry.
He took his food to his room and pulled out what he thought at first was a napkin.
“I thought, ‘This,’ when I was pulling it out, ‘This sure is a fancy napkin,'” Leo said.
Upon further inspection, he realized it was thigh-length underwear that appeared to be stained with human poo.
He immediately threw the underwear back in the bag and called Uber, the restaurant and the police.
Uber refunded Leo’s order.
The company sent WPLG the following statement: “What’s been reported is very concerning. We are reviewing this order and reaching out to all parties involved to help understand what may have occurred. The courier has been removed from the app pending investigation.”
