One woman experienced a bizarre glitch while ordering her favorite McDonald’s meal using the Uber Eats app, resulting in her receiving an empty box instead of her food. The glitch deselected every ingredient that makes up a Double Big Mac burger, leaving the McDonald’s staff with no option but to give her nothing. This strange incident left the woman feeling disappointed and questioning whether Uber Eats was trolling her or if her actual delivery was on the way.
Taking to Facebook to share her unusual experience, the woman explained how there was a glitch in the Uber Eats app that removed all eight of the usual Big Mac ingredients from her order. The receipt attached to the bag showed the absence of the Big Mac Sauce, regular onions, pickles, salt and pepper seasoning, cheese, lettuce, meat patty, and Big Mac Bun. The situation was comically referred to as “The Emperor’s new burger” by commenters, who found humor in the glitch and the resulting empty box.
While one eagle-eyed commenter pointed out that there should have been at least one patty in the box, as the instructions only removed one of the two all-beef patties that make up a Big Mac. Others joked about the situation, referring to it as the new Big Mac Air, the Emperor’s new burger, or as part of a #cleaneating diet plan. Some saw the humor in the glitch and said they would have laughed and high-fived the employee who delivered exactly what was ordered, while also feeling disappointed at not receiving their meal.
The woman’s post on Facebook garnered various reactions from others online, with many finding humor and amusement in the situation. Some suggested they would have been speechless or upset, while others saw the lighter side and joked about the glitch being a form of diet mode or clean eating. Despite the disappointment of receiving an empty box through Uber Eats, the strange incident provided a moment of entertainment and laughter for those who came across the woman’s story on social media. Ultimately, the glitch served as a reminder of the unpredictable and sometimes humorous nature of technology and online food delivery services.
