At first, the deliveries were sort of delightful. There were chicken sandwiches, milkshakes, pastries, lattes and more. Then the items started arriving multiple times a day, at all hours, delivered by Uber Eats. DanielNMiller reports on the mystery:
. They‘re the sort of places where hipsters might turn their noses up at an offering from Starbucks or McDonald’s, even if it were free.
In one instance, Morgan Currier, who said she had received about 30 of the deliveries, was able to convince an Uber Eats driver to telephone the person who’d placed the order.More often than not, though, recipients step onto their porches to find, say, two McDonald’s Shamrock Shakes, with no Uber Eats driver to be seen.
Highland Park residents who have received unwanted food deliveries from Uber Eats have been donating the items at a food collection box on York Boulevard. The choice of the vendors for the caloric torrent — two of the biggest fast-food chains in the world — also has stymied residents’ efforts to end the onslaught. The area is littered with locations of Starbucks and McDonald’s, making it hard to know which ones have been processing the orders.‘We’ve talked about... doing a little podcast’
Instead, she suggested that the deliveries could be the ploy of criminals who are testing stolen credit cards by making small charges with them via Uber Eats. “But, I don’t know why they would be doing that,” she conceded.
