UberEats delivers customer empty McDonald’s Big Mac box after computer glitch deletes her order: ‘Speechless’

There’s nothing more exciting than the anticipation of an Uber Eats delivery, especially when you’ve been craving it all day. 

But imagine the disappointment you’d feel if that eagerly awaited meal turned out to be… an empty box.  

You’d think – are Uber Eats trolling me? Is my actual delivery on the way?

That was the bizarre experience of one woman who ordered her favorite McDonald’s meal using the app, only to receive a sad, empty box where her food should have been.

In what appears to be a strange glitch, every single item that makes up a Double Big Mac burger had been deselected, leaving the McDonald’s staff no choice but to give her what she ordered — absolutely nothing! 

That was the bizarre experience of one woman who ordered her favorite McDonald’s meal using the app, only to receive a sad, empty box where her food should have been.

“They must have thought I was cooked”

The woman, Mel, took to Facebook to explain: “There was a glitch in the Uber Eats app, and somehow it deselected every ingredient.

“Macca’s [McDonald’s] staff must have thought I was cooked and just sent me an empty box.”

She then shared a photo of the receipt attached to the bag, which shows all eight of the usual Big Mac ingredients removed.

The woman, Mel, took to Facebook to explain: “There was a glitch in the Uber Eats app, and somehow it deselected every ingredient.

“No Big Mac Sauce, no regular onions, no pickles, no salt and pepper seasoning, no cheese, no lettuce, no meat patty, no Big Mac Bun,” it read.

“The Emperor’s new burger”

“Technically, there should have been one patty in the box. There are two all-beef patties and the instructions only removes one,” one eagle-eyed commenter pointed out.

“Oh my God, sorry, but that is so funny,” another chimed in.

“Ah yes,” wrote a third. “The new Big Mac Air.”

“Technically, there should have been one patty in the box. There are two all-beef patties and the instructions only removes one,” one eagle-eyed commenter pointed out.

“The Emperor’s new burger,” quipped a fourth, while someone simply wrote, “#cleaneating.”

“I see the randomized diet mode has been activated,” another joked.

“I’d probably laugh and virtual high-five the employee who delivered exactly what the order requested… before getting upset that I don’t have Maccas [McDonald’s],” someone else shared.

And one woman responded: “I’d just be speechless. I’ve placed my order and waited for delivery, and I’m back to where I started – with no food.”
