Caleb Wood from Utah ordered fries and a milkshake from Chick-fil-A using the Grubhub app, reports Fox 59. “When I started eating my meal upon delivery, I put a straw in my cup that was delivered and took a sip. I soon discovered that the cup delivered to me from the Grubhub driver was a warm cup of urine,” he told the outlet.

As his next move, Wood immediately called the driver and informed him about the mistake. The driver went back to meet Wood and clear the confusion.

When Wood reached out to the company, they initially issued a refund of $18 for his $25 order. However, later, they also issued a statement addressing the incident.

“We took immediate action with the driver and ended his contract with us. We’re following up with the customer to apologise and are coaching the representative who was previously in touch with the customer,” the company said in the statement.
