Uber Eats Driver Asks Customer For Gas Money To Deliver Food

Uber Eats driver had ignited a fiery debate after he asked a customer to chip in for some gas when he realized he was running out, and was unsure if he’d make it to deliver the food.

The customer, Exavier Pope, was perplexed at what was happening, posting a tweet about his experience.

“This Uber Eats Driver just asked me to CashApp him gas money to bring my food to me,” the Chicago resident tweeted on May 31.

Pope continued saying the driver was “harassing” him, and wouldn’t stop calling. “He has now called me five times. This is harassment,” he continued. “I am about to call the police on this dude.”

According to the driver, he was about to run out of gas and he didn’t realize the order was so far away. The furious (and probably hungry) customer also shared a picture once the food had arrived, which he said had been placed “on the ground outside like trash.”

“Mmmm tasty,” he added, sarcastically. “Literally in the alley with the trash.”

Uber Support responded, thanking Pope for bringing the mishap to their attention. “Behavior like this is definitely not okay,” they wrote.
