Zomato fires delivery agent after food tampering video goes viral
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,December 11 2018]
A video of a Zomato delivery guy tampering with the customer’s food went viral across social media yesterday. Soon after, Zomato issued a statement on its Twitter page stating that they took food tampering very seriously. The video shows the agent eating food out of box meant for the customer and re-sealing it.
Zomato conducted an investigation on this and found that the incident happened in Madurai. The person in the video happened to be a delivery partner on our fleet. We have spoken to him at length – and while we understand that it was a human error in judgment, we have taken him off our platform, said Zomato in a statement.
They added that they have taken this issue seriously and will soon introduce tamper-proof tapes and other precautionary measures to ensure an extra layer of safeguard against such behaviour.
