There is no definitive answer, but it seems as though Uber Eats drivers may be more likely to steal food than those who drive for other food delivery companies. A study published in the journal “Food and Drug Law Journal” found that food delivery drivers from Uber Eats and DoorDash were more than three times as likely to steal food from a restaurant as those from Postmates.
While it’s unclear why Uber Eats drivers are more likely to steal food, it may be due to the fact that they are not required to have a food handler’s license or a food delivery permit, which may make them more reckless with food. Additionally, Uber Eats drivers are not typically screened for criminal background, which could make them more likely to commit theft.
While there is no definitive answer as to whether or not Uber Eats drivers are more likely to steal food, it’s important to be aware of the potential risks. If you’re dining out and you see a food delivery driver from Uber Eats, be sure to ask them for a receipt and to keep an eye on your food.
If you do notice that your food is missing, don’t hesitate to report the incident to the restaurant or to Uber Eats.
