This was not the kind of “smashburger” anyone wanted.
A woman in London says she was stunned after checking her doorbell camera and allegedly seeing a food delivery driver stomp and kick her late-night order right outside her home.
Monique Johnson, 30, had ordered Popeyes chicken through Uber Eats around 3 a.m. on Saturday, May 17. The order reportedly cost about $23.59 and arrived roughly an hour later.
Because it was so late, Johnson said she asked the driver to call when he got outside so he would not wake up a sleeping family member.
But according to Johnson, no call or message ever came.
Without an alert to wake her, she eventually fell asleep. When she woke up the next morning, she found her bag of food sitting outside her door completely flattened.
At first, she thought an animal may have gotten to it.
“I initially thought a fox got to it,” Johnson told Jam Press.
Confused and disgusted, she threw the food away. Then she checked her doorbell camera to see what had really happened.
That is when the situation took a bizarre turn.
The footage allegedly showed the courier placing the bag by her door and taking a delivery photo. Then, instead of leaving, he appeared to kick and stomp on the food before walking back to his vehicle.
Johnson could not believe what she was seeing.
“Even if I didn’t answer the door or my phone, why would you take a photo acting like you delivered the food … then stamp on it and kick it?” she said.
Johnson said she filed a complaint with Uber Eats but claimed she did not receive a response. She later posted the video on TikTok, where it quickly attracted thousands of views.
After the clip went viral, Johnson said Uber followed her on TikTok but still had not contacted her directly.
The incident has sparked outrage online, with many viewers questioning why a delivery worker would allegedly destroy a customer’s food after photographing it as delivered.
It is not the first time a food delivery story has left customers stunned.
Last year, another courier admitted to taking fries from customers’ orders, claiming the temptation could be hard to resist when stuck in traffic with the food nearby.
But Johnson’s case may be even more shocking.
