Uber Eats customer goes viral after getting \u2018raw deal\u2019 with uncooked rice Uber\/ TikTok:shirl3yliuWhen Sydney-based TikTok user Shirley Liu ordered from Uber Eats, she received a crunchy side order she never expected \u2013 a cup of uncooked rice. Liu\u2019s post, captioned \u201cWhy does this always happen to me?\u201d quickly gained momentum and stirred up a flurry of reactions from TikTok users. The video showcased the delivery order with Liu playing around with the uncooked rice in the plastic cup. The unusual order sparked many comments, with some TikTok users pointing out that the blame should fall on the restaurant, not the delivery platform. One user pointed out, \u201cAll Uber Eats did was deliver your food. The restaurant is the one that sent you uncooked rice.\u201d Another added, \u201cEveryone\u2019s so quick to blame the delivery app, but that\u2019s misguided.\u201d Among the sea of comments, some users found humor in the situation. One user asked, \u201cDid you order the rice\u2019 extra rare\u2019?\u201d while another inquired if cooking instructions were included in the box. Yet another likened the incident to receiving a salad from a pizza place, where customers are expected to chop their own vegetables. One user suggested that the rice could come in handy if Liu\u2019s phone ever got soaked, playing off the popular advice of using rice to absorb moisture from electronics. The video has not only triggered amusement but inspired users to share their own delivery mishaps. One TikToker shared their tale of ordering a McFlurry, only to receive a cup of Oreo crumbs and a singular flake due to a broken ice cream machine. Another user recalled the disappointment of ordering beef noodle soup and receiving only noodles, while yet another recounted getting plain milk with tapioca instead of their order of brown sugar milk tea. The strange incident follows similarly-shocking clips, such as when a customer received a receipt with the word \u201cb*tch\u201d on it. An interesting positive spin came from a user, who commented, \u201cOn the bright side, they give you more rice than they normally would have if it was cooked, lol,\u201d while another pointed out that the uncooked rice would yield a lot more than a usual portion of steamed rice. Despite the comedic value of the incident, the story contributes to the ongoing debate regarding the division of responsibility between food delivery platforms and restaurants for order mishaps. As food delivery apps continue to soar in popularity, these discussions are likely to persist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
