A month after a woman was left infuriated when her McDonald's food order was cancelled by the delivery man and she allegedly caught him eating it, a similar incident has come to light. The incident took place in London where a hungry student was stunned when her takeaway delivery driver sent the message, "Sorry love, ate your food."

On Saturday, the incident took place when Illy Ilyas, a 21-year-old law student, placed an order worth $20 (Rs 1,456) for two burgers, chips and a chicken wrap from Bim's in Ilford in East London using the Uber Eats app, The DailyMail reported.

After placing the order, she received a notification saying the driver was nearby. However, she received a second message, this time from the delivery driver revealing he had eaten her food. She shared the funny message on social networking site Twitter, with the caption, "Is my Uber Eats driver okay????", along with two crying emojis.

That was not it! When she opened the delivery application, she was told that her food had been delivered and was prompted to give a tip to the driver. She then got in touch with Uber Eats and was eventually able to reorder her food for free.

However, Illy wasn’t angry at the driver and 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."

In a similar incident last month, a woman waiting for her McDonald's food order was left infuriated after she allegedly caught the driver cancelling her order and eating it himself. The customer who ordered the food via Just Eat in London, noticed that her order had been cancelled by a delivery driver shortly after placing it. 

However, when she looked outside her home, she noticed the driver eating her chips and filmed a video of him. Her brother shared the clip on Twitter and wrote, "Yo Just Eat my sister ordered McDonalds on your site yesterday from Kentish Town McDonalds. The driver cancelled the order, sat outside her house and ate the food?"
