A Grab food delivery rider has been captured on video attempting to earn extra tips in an unscrupulous manner by stealing another order after completing his own delivery.
The clip was later shared on Twitter by user @AkeemSharyzal, where it has amassed 1.1 million views and over 5,800 likes at the time of writing.
Grab rider steals food order
In the 51-second video, it showed the rider pulling up to the lobby area and taking some plastic bags out of his carrier before heading into the building.
Once he was inside, he placed the plastic bags onto a table designated for food deliveries and it was brimming with several orders.
After doing so, the rider is seen fiddling with the other orders before he eventually laid hands on one and walked out.
The footage also revealed that the rider had showed signs of hesitation before taking the food order and driving off, suggesting that he was fully aware of his actions.

Netizens call rider out
In the comment section, netizens were furious by the rider’s actions and criticised him for it.
One wrote that the rider’s actions had “ruined the reputation of other riders” thanks to his dishonesty.
Another joked that the rider was probably still stuck in the “1929 mindset”, where he believed that the barter system would still fly in modern society.
Another said that the building’s poor management was to blame for the incident and suggested moving the food delivery point to a place where the security guard can observe and prevent fishy behavior.
On the other hand, one urged the public to give the rider a benefit of the doubt, saying that he could have been helping to deliver an order which was long overdue or that the order truly belonged to him.
