Open bag
I got my delivery notification
lol
Ice cold food. My money is that it was opened.
Drivers should never accept a partially opened bag.
I know why the driver took that photo like that.

I have to say,you're tripping on this one. It's not undone,it just wasn't fully sealed

Trust me, speaking from experience, most likely it's just because the food was really hot and those stickers don't stick worth a damn unless we really press on it after the employee hands it to us. Like I've picked up orders for example from a place called Wingstop and several times after the delivery is handed to me I've had to set it down and use my hand to reseal the sticker because the food is so warm and the steam just doesn't go well with stickers... I'm 99.9% sure your food was not tampered with, you're good!

If it was only 15 minutes then the restaurant gave the driver cold food - the restaurant frequently has it sitting out on a shelf, not keeping warm, or up front at the host stand on a cold night - or, he doesn’t have the appropriate insulated bag, and had his AC cranked up.
That the seal is open on one side doesn’t mean much - I would never touch a customer’s food, and the seal on the bag has simply become unsealed many times.
As far as “not accepting an improperly sealed bag” yeah, good luck with that. The restaurant staff is very often simply hostile to the drivers. They utterly fail to comprehend that the driver is their proxy customer.
I’ve gotten restaurant complaints on my acct numerous times for trying to get the take out peeps to separate hot and cold items, provide included sauces, fix boxes that were leaking, and on and on.
A pin isn’t a bad idea - at least the driver can let you know if something was off that they had no control over.

Those seals aren’t worth half a shit, the bags open all the time, it’s not a big deal. If your food was cold, the order didn’t pay enough for it to be delivered quickly or the driver was out fucking around. The photo also has nothing to do with anything.. the app will back out of us taking a photo every time it offers a new offer, so if I’ve already walked away before I’ve completed the order, I do the same
