In the viral video, the delivery partner was seen picking small bites of snacks (what looks like fries) from the delivery bag behind his bike and eating while waiting at the signal. Someone who was waiting at the same signal recorded the scene and shared it on Facebook and wrote, “For all those who order from Zomato / Swiggy.”
The internet is divided as a few people argue that the delivery agent is breaching the rules and some people stood with him, saying it might be his own food. A user commented, “The vendor must seal the food perfectly and see that it's not tampered."
Another person said, “Common sense is that’s his office bag with name and logo and expected to have food to be delivered. It’s in best interest to keep a separate pouch or bag for their own food to avoid being a target if food companies want to be reliable and expect to have a huge market and keep up with the rapid growth.”
Meanwhile, a section of people said that it is not fair to jump the gun as it could be his own food. “Pack will be sealed, He might be eating his own food. Without knowing correctly or seeing with my own eyes, I don't believe such posts. Never blame a person so easily who does hard work for bread,” another user commented.
However, Zomato is yet to clarify the incident which took the internet by storm. A similar incident happened in the food delivery business at the national capital eariler.
