Thursday, December 13, 2018 IST

A Zomato delivery man was sacked by the restaurant aggregator after he was caught eating on a customer's order. The two-and-half minute video first surfaced on Facebook, and showed the man wearing a red Zomato t-shirt pulling out a food package from his bag, taking a couple of bites and resealing it before leaving for his delivery location.

However, Internet users felt that the punishment was on the harsh side and even pointed out several possibilities that may have led him to eat from the package.

If people have to steal food, there is some problem with our society. I feel sorry for him.

My heart broke too when I saw it. The only thought in my mind was - the poor man must be really hungry to resort to this move.

For some reason my heart breaks every time I see the video and this man. I hope n pray he gets a job somewhere n leave this stigma behind him.
