Takeaway Boss Went through Customer's Bins to Prove Meal Had Been Delivered

Ask a Question

How much of a problem is people fraudulently saying food hadn't been delivered for the Take away owner feeling he had to go to these lengths.

I would never order a take away if I couldn't afford it, do you think this is a wide spread problem ?

As ever some people are just scum. I had a takeaway the other day it was rubbish and not worth paying for but I still payed for it obviously but of course won't be using the same takeaway again.

Hopefully the customer was shamed enough by the press to never do that again.

Such a shame because it takes away from genuine customers. Often the likes a Just Eat refund without even consulting the business which is terrible because customers have a open opportunity to lie

People always out their trying to get something for nothing. My daughter owns a pub/restaurant and gets it all the time. So many businesses will go out of business if people carry on.

Don't talk to me about takeaways.

The local curry house sent us our meal with a poppadom short last week.

I left it slide that time, but I'll be wanting a bonus poppadom next time though 😉

TheChimp Keep an eye on that.

first they came for a poppadom, and you said nothing.

You may have left yourself open to a Naan shortage.

Fair play to the owner, people who steal from small businesses often don’t think of the consequences for that business just their own selfish greed. With the economy how it is sadly it makes the behaviour even worse and can lead to that businesses not being profitable anymore.

Have you seen how common it is on ebay, I can't even count the number of times I've seen 'item not received', a small percentage of things do get lost, and we all know that, but the number of people doing this now, thinking they are owed, wanting something for nothing, thinking they are clever, it's just awful, they seem to forget that loads of people selling on ebay are just ordinary people like you and me, often desperate for cash, just trying to make a bit of pocket money, and it often comes out their own pocket which is so sad and unfair!

I read the whole story and apparently it is still rife. The guy said they don't use deliveroo, so if he is losing £50-£100 per week it would be worth investing in video cams for the deliverers so they can prove the customer took it with their own thieving hands!
