There have also been documented cases where delivery drivers for 3rd parties will eat part of your meal. There are many potential nodes of failure throughout this entire chain.

In Bucharest all my delivery bags are stapled so it would be impossible to open non-destructively and consume the food

I imagine stapled bags are a fairly standard practice.

And if a driver is willing to eat people’s food, I wouldn’t put it past them to buy a staple remover and stapler and purposely target those orders for the plausible deniability

More likely they will eat the food from another restaurant that’s not stapling their bags.

You don’t need to be running faster than the bear, just faster than the other guy it’s also chasing.

The driver values the food more than the delivery. Why would he care about opening the bags non-destructively?

The whole food delivery sector looks like it’s on the verge of collapse. Incredibly unsustainable for everyone.

It never was sustainable except for pizza and maybe Chinese food.
