There’s a dark side to getting things delivered that will make you take pause. Circuit Route Planner took a poll of 500 delivery drivers and found out some interesting things. Like 8-in-10 food delivery drivers eat part of their customer’s order. Not only that, but one-in-four drivers confess that they’ve had sex in their vehicle and one-in-10 have peed on or near a customer’s home.
Some other takeaways are:
- 27-percent have had inappropriate conversations with customers
- They’ve intentionally damaged packages (23%),
- 18-percent mark packages as delivered when they aren’t
- 17-percent have stolen packages
- 17-percent admit to opening and then resealing packages
There’s a reason for the bad behavior, though. About 73-percent say they are tipped very poorly and have been tip baited. Other things about customers that upset drivers are:
- Dogs bark at them 57-percent
- The neighbors are rude 38-percent
- Customers are over friendly 34-percent
- The address is hard to get to 34-percent
- Customers aren’t friendly 30-percent
