DoorDash Driver Empties His Colostomy Bag on Someone’s Lawn and Wipes His Hands on His Shirt. Then He Delivers Someone’s Food
Ordering food through an app has become an everyday habit for millions of people, with customers expecting their meals to arrive sealed and untouched. That trust is what makes one recent TikTok video stand out, as it shifted attention away from convenience and onto what can happen between the restaurant and the customer’s front door.
That is why one video shared by TikTok creator @flavoryoucansee has caught viewers’ attention. Rather than focusing on a late order or a missing item, the clip sparked discussion about hygiene, food handling, and whether one driver’s alleged actions should affect how people view delivery services as a whole.
DoorDash is one of the largest food delivery platforms in the US, offering restaurant meals, groceries and convenience items through its app. Orders are picked up and delivered by independent contractors known as Dashers, helping make third-party food delivery a routine option for millions of customers across the country.
What happened next left viewers talking
In the video, a man identified as a DoorDash driver is seen stopping on a residential lawn before completing a delivery. The TikTok creator claims he emptied his colostomy bag onto the grass, wiped his hands on his shirt, and then proceeded to deliver the customer’s food.
The video does not show the food being opened or tampered with. However, it prompted viewers to question hygiene practices during food deliveries and whether sealed packaging alone is enough to reassure customers.
Reacting to the video, the creator said, “See this right here? This is why I have never ordered DoorDash or Uber Eats. Any of these food delivery services.” He continued, “These folks ain’t got no food handling training, just a driver license and a car and a wheel to get there.”
“The only thing holding them accountable is the sticker that the restaurant puts on your food. Nah, yeah, yeah, I’m good. I’ll pass. Y’all got that,” he added.
Many commenters said the footage reinforced why they avoid third-party delivery services. “I will eat a bowl of cold corn flakes before I ever do Doordash!!!!” one viewer wrote. Another commented, “This is why I don’t use any delivery services bc wtf.”
Others focused on the hygiene concerns raised by the alleged incident. “They try to make it safe by sealing the bag, but people hands still touch food,” one commenter wrote. “That’s a bio hazard,” another added.
Several viewers said they preferred collecting takeaway orders themselves rather than relying on delivery apps. “Yea I’ve never used these services cuz I don’t like everybody handling my food,” one person wrote.
Not everyone agreed that the incident represented DoorDash drivers as a whole. Several commenters identifying themselves as delivery drivers urged others not to generalise based on one video.
“Condemn that man not everyone I deliver for DoorDash and Instacart 100% rating across-the-board find something else to make some money about man,” one commenter wrote. Another added, “Not all DoorDash drivers do that so you can’t judge all by that one person. I would never do anything like that and treat it like my own food!”
Some viewers argued that food handling concerns are not limited to delivery services. “I used to work at dennys many years ago and I saw a lot back in that kitchen. I never ate there,” one commenter wrote. Another replied, “do you eat out at restaurants cause its really no different.”
Similar concerns have been raised in other DoorDash-related TikTok videos, including one customer who saw a driver repeatedly scratch his bare foot and another who questioned whether her smoothie had been tampered with.
It is unclear when or where the video was recorded, and the claims made in the TikTok clip have not been independently verified. DoorDash has not publicly commented on the incident.
