The food delivery industry is absolutely booming, but it is not without deep-seated problems. We suspect that even if the apocalypse were to occur, people would still continue ordering something to eat while dodging hellfire. There are two sides to this story. Even though food delivery drivers face many exhausting challenges, intense pressure, and burnout, it would be naive to think that all of them, well, actually care about doing a decent job.
In fact, some workers behave in a way that almost feels like they enjoy making your day worse. Bored Panda has collected the most egregious food delivery fail photos, shared by frustrated and annoyed customers, and you can scroll through them below. After seeing these pics, you might swear off ordering anything all week.

#1Thank God For The Warning
Thank god I saw this before I got to the house, he greeted me at my car, and was standing so close I couldn’t get out with having to tell him to move back, when he eventually did, I went to the back door to get the food, which he, indeed snatched, ran up his steep driveway swinging the bag of food around like it was a helicopter (McDonald’s, 4 drinks inside).

4 4points replyTo be clear, we have a lot of empathy for food delivery drivers. Their jobs are tough, they are constantly under pressure, they often have to deal with customer rudeness, and their pay often isn’t stellar. However, the simple truth is that not all drivers are hard-working and ethical. Some are trying to ‘game’ the system by rushing orders without caring about customer satisfaction. And while everyone makes mistakes, not every mistake is equal. Some are worse than others.
It is an understatement to claim that the online food delivery industry is big. It is humongous, on a global scale. Around the world, the industry—which encompasses both meal and grocery delivery—reached nearly $1.4 trillion (yes, that’s ‘trillion’ with a ‘t’) in 2025.
The leading food delivery markets are China and the United States, followed by India, the United Kingdom, and Japan, Statista reports.

7 7points reply View more commentsThis sector has seen massive growth since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. The lockdowns and quarantines forced many people to stay at home. So, the demand for meal and grocery deliveries spiked.
Currently, around 3 billion people use online food delivery services (yes, you are, in fact, reading that right). Around two-thirds of these customers live in Asia.
Grocery deliveries are growing the quickest and have now, somewhat surprisingly, outpaced meal deliveries!
Unfortunately, there are tons of problems associated with food deliveries. Careless and rude drivers are just the tip of the iceberg. Some issues are systemic.
For example, China is dealing with predatory pricing and merchant coercion in the sector. So, the country is now moving to end “‘irrational’ food-delivery subsidies and the sector’s price wars,” according to the South China Morning Post.

My food was left out for exactly seven minutes, but when I went out, little dude was in the bag.

I did leave them a little piece of sweet potato placed out away from the houses. There aren't a ton of them around, and they're really helpful with snakes.

5 5points reply View more commentsUnder the old system in China, everyone was losing out, including the customers, delivery drivers, and businesses.
Recently, Chinese authorities introduced draft regulations aimed at cracking down on the misuse of subsidies by food delivery platforms that were fueling immense competition. Basically, some platforms were using subsidies and selling goods at a loss to disrupt the market.
“China’s food-delivery platforms exhibit problems such as using capital advantages to seize market share, coercing businesses on their platforms into taking part in subsidies, and triggering irrational competition in the industry,” the regulator said.
Basically, food delivery platforms in China will no longer be allowed to force merchants to take part in subsidy activities. What’s more, the goal is to prevent the platforms from unfair or monopolistic competition.

1 1point replyMeanwhile, the BBC reports that Chinese authorities are also tackling ‘ghost kitchens,’ which are restaurants that appear on apps but don’t actually exist. The issue is that these ghost kitchens outsource their orders to third-party vendors. The latter then fulfil them at lower costs. Meanwhile, the merchants maximize profits by keeping prices down.
The main issue here is that these low prices come at the cost of food safety.
As per the BBC, food delivery apps in China will need to verify their restaurants’ licenses and addresses. In short, the online listing has to match the physical business. Moreover, apps will have to note whether they offer dine-in services.

6 6points replyIntense scrutiny of the industry started in 2025, when a Beijing-based customer complained about a cake topped with inedible flowers. The product, which he ordered via a food delivery app, was unsatisfactory.
Officials who began digging into the issue found that the cake chain listed nearly 380 locations on e-commerce platforms and did not have even one physical store. What’s more, its online shops allegedly forged business licenses.
As the investigation continued, officials found that the cake chain accepted orders, transferred them to a different platform, outsourced the orders to third-party vendors, and picked the lowest bids.

5 5points reply View more commentsOf course, this chain wasn’t the only problem. The investigation found 67,000 ‘ghost shops’ across seven major food delivery apps. Together with the order-transfer sites, these shops “formed an illegal supply chain through mutual collusion,” as reported by Xinhua.
Seven e-commerce platforms were fined 3.6bn yuan, mostly over ghost kitchen deliveries. The result is that some businesses are embracing top-tier transparency to gain consumers’ trust over food safety. For example, over 20 takeout stalls in Hangzhou installed ‘transparent kitchens’ with live broadcasting features. They allow customers to see how their food is prepared in real time.
#16Am I Rightfully Grossed Out?
Received this pic from the dasher. I was so disgusted that I threw the food away. How gross! I used to be a dasher and would never, in a million years, throw people's food on the car floor into the garbage with my bare foot, like in the pic! Contacted support, and they credited my full order, and she won't deliver to me again. Completely lost my appetite.

7 7points reply View more commentsMeanwhile, in India, food delivery drivers are facing an unprecedented amount of stress. Their jobs have, frankly, become incredibly dangerous as they are forced to fulfil mind-bogglingly short delivery times. For example, many people living in big Indian cities have become used to rapid deliveries of groceries, drinks, books, tech, etc., within mere minutes.
“Unlike traditional retailers, platforms such as Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart and Zepto don't deliver from large supermarkets or distant warehouses. Instead, they operate out of small storage units embedded deep inside residential neighbourhoods,” the BBC writes.
These so-called ‘dark stores’ are what allow delivery drivers to reach customers’ homes in minutes. There, workers pick, scan, and pack items that are meticulously kept on shelves and in freezers, and then hand the paper bags off to the delivery drivers.
#19An Entire Staircase Just Collapsed Under Me As I Was Doing A Delivery
Yep. That just happened. Decided to follow a customer's delivery instructions to bring it down to their basement suite, and the entire staircase collapsed under me. Dude couldn’t even come outside to meet me to grab his food. I was supposed to pick up another delivery, and Uber is investigating whether I will get compensated for the trip I had to cancel. Customers never tip in my area, so how did I do on the delivery?

8 8points reply View more commentsOne major problem is that in dense cities like Delhi, addresses can sometimes be missing, digital maps don’t match up with reality, and buildings look similar. So, people rely on landmarks instead. And it’s not like they’re always visible or obvious.
According to the BBC, which spoke to one driver, Alam, he tries to complete around 40 deliveries a day. After deducting money spent on food and fuel, he earns between 900 and 1,000 rupees ($9.23 to $10.59) on a good day. There is no financial consistency because earnings can vary widely depending on order volume, distance, and in-app incentives.
Some major downsides of gig work like this are that people like Alam do not get a fixed salary, paid leave, or social security. Meanwhile, workers are pressured to do as many deliveries as possible within specific windows of time, to unlock ‘streak’ incentives on their apps. In a nutshell, you get more pay for longer hours.

First, yes, I tipped, and I always tip decently, so that wasn’t the issue.
I heard my dasher pull up to my place, and a bunch of commotion was going on; they were fighting and yelling with their girlfriend (or whoever was with them), and the man got out, chucked my food, and stomped on it in front of my neighbor's house and took off running down the street. The girlfriend, screaming at him, got in the car and drove off.
This was so beyond disrespectful. Yes, I did get a refund, but that’s not the point. This shouldn’t happen to anyone’s food ever; there’s no excuse, even if you’re having a bad night. I’m still in shock.

-12 -12points reply View more commentsDelivery drivers recently went on strike in several Indian cities over falling incomes, unpredictable incentives, and unsafe conditions.
“In other countries platforms avoid committing to a fixed 10-minute promise and instead use terms like 'very fast' - thus lowering customer expectations. They also charge a premium for faster delivery, but in India there are no such constraints,” says researcher and author Vandana Vasudevan.
“Quick commerce has tapped into a huge pool of time-poor urban residents who spend long hours commuting and would rather order in essentials than step out again,” adds Ankur Bisen, from retail advisory firm Technopak.

Ordered food last night and got a notification saying that my dasher picked up my food at 8 pm, and immediately suspicious because she didn’t leave the restaurant until 8:09. THEN she pulled onto a side street for 10 minutes before driving towards my house. Mind you, my boyfriend and I were STARVING. She then drives right past my house while my boyfriend is standing in the driveway waiting for the order, and then marks it delivered. So that’s when I sent the first message. Two minutes after I sent the first message, she came back. Noticed my boyfriend standing there this time, and turned around again, which is what prompted me to send the last message. Haven’t even gotten a refund yet! And yes, I tipped well; it was a $5 tip for a 0.7-mile order. I used to door dash and can’t imagine stealing someone’s food and the money that they gave me towards a tip. ended up just driving to a fast food place up the road, where it took an HOUR in drive-thru. Anyway, hope you guys had a better night than I did!

We order the Hut every other month on average. I always provide the gate code for our community; they always use it and bring it to our door.
Today, the driver got stuck outside the exit gate (there’s a different gate to enter where the code box is). Instead of calling me, I received the first photo as “proof of delivery”. I was annoyed I had to go out there, but it was whatever.
In the time it took me to walk to that gate (5-ish minutes), someone had used it. The arm attached to the gate pushed the pizza off, and all the food was upside down by the time I arrived. Some of the food fell out of the smaller boxes. The toppings on the actual pizza were jacked up.

I’m pretty sure the cinnamon sticks come with 10, so either Pizza Hut messed it up, or the Uber Eats driver took one. The order wasn’t sealed.

Okay, so granted I sent a 15% tip for a $20 order 8 minutes from my house, and not only was the delivery 15 min late (I don’t mind), but my bag was ripped open, and my fries didn’t look full. Did my driver eat my fries? I don’t want to eat the fries.

LakotaWolf (she/her) LakotaWolf (she/her) Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow Premium Someone on Reddit noticed that the fries look suspiciously more full in the first pic (when they are still in the bag) and much emptier when OP is holding them out of the bag. "In the 3rd picture you can see the fries through the hole in the bag and can see the top of the fries box and the fries appear to be filled to the top. When you took the picture after taking it out the bag, the fries are half empty."

I ordered from Starbucks today, and I noticed something off. Usually it comes in a bag and has a sip cover. Today it came with no bag and no sip cover. Immediately, I knew something was off, so I didn’t drink it. I’m always a good tipper, and today I tipped 1 dollar and 50 cents because the Starbucks is literally 0.2 miles down the road from my job. Anyways i thought I'd put this out there for anyone who thinks their food can’t be tampered with. Beyond disgusting.

BC_Animus BC_Animus Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 day ago I hear horror stories like this ALL THE TIME. I get food delivered all the time, and apart from the odd wrong orders, and a few drivers delivering to the wrong street, most have not been this bad. Is it because I'm in New Zealand? Are drivers really this bad overall in the states? Also, when I am expecting an order I usually wait by the door when the tracker shows them as being close. Maybe that's why I don't get these horror stories?

Caffeinated Ape Caffeinated Ape Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 day ago What's our homegrown one? Delivereasy? Do you use them? My flatmate has ordered through them a lot, as well as Uber Eats. He's had tonnes of issues with Uber Eats but I don't think even a single one with Delivereasy.

BC_Animus BC_Animus Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 20 hours ago Never tried Delivereasy, but tried Menulog (think that one's an Aussie company) and had issues with that one every single time. UberEats been good for me though - guess I got lucky with the drivers in my area maybe?

Daya Daya Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 day ago Get a food delivery and it is just put outside at the door is such a strange thought to me. I suppose that if I order ready to eat food, I am at home to eat it. So why can't I answer the door, take my food saying thank you to the driver and it is done?

V V Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 day ago We got delivery drivers to leave it at the door during COVID, but otherwise we will get it from them if they knock. Sometimes they just leave it without knocking though. We have had someone do the whole block the door with the order thing. We have had drivers get super lost looking for our house. Now we just chuck something in the airfryer and a bag of steam fresh vegetables in the microwave if we can't be bothered, because getting food delivered just isn't work it any more.
