SCRATCH AND SNIFF
We caught our takeaway driver on camera scratching his bum & smelling his fingers as he delivered our curry – it’s vile
THIS is the disgusting moment a gloveless delivery driver was caught scratching his bum and smelling his fingers before handing a takeaway over to unsuspecting customers.
The Leeds driver was caught on a family’s Ring doorbell this week when a couple ordered an Indian to celebrate coming home from their holiday in Blackpool.

Exhausted Chelsea Kerr, 19, and partner Joe Pearson, 22, had nodded off while waiting for the arrival of their chicken bhuna, korma sauce and cheesy chips.
It took five minutes for Joe to answer the bell and accept the £27 delivery, unaware what was happening on the other side of the door.
Waitress and cafe cook Chelsea and labourer Joe only had a couple of mouthfuls before chucking the whole lot in the bin because they found the flavour revolting.
The next day Chelsea’s mum checked the doorbell footage and was horrified to think her daughter and boyfriend might have eaten any of it.

Chelsea told the Sun: “We were asleep in bed. We had ordered a curry. It took us five minutes to get up and get the curry.
“We did not notice he was scratching his bum. It was disgusting. Luckily, we did not eat it because it was too spicy anyway.
“We ordered from the takeaway by mistake. I never usually order from there because the curries are horrible.
“The whole thing was just horrible. When I spoke to the manager he said he was just going to let him off with a warning.

“He should be sacked. If we had ate it we could have been quite ill. He was not even wearing gloves.
“We sent the Ring video to the manager. He was fuming - but if he was that bothered he would have been sacked the bloke.
“My mum checked it and asked “Did you enjoy your curry last night?’ I said we had two mouthfuls and chucked it in the bin.
“The driver never apologised to us - only his boss. Not that I am bothered by an apology.
“I just do not want it to happen to anyone else. In my job, it would be a sackable offence.”
The restaurant, which cannot be named for legal reasons, promises “contact free delivery".
A spokesman for the restaurant said the man involved was a freelance delivery driver and the video was misleading.
He added: “I spoke to the woman and apologised. Our food is prepared and sealed before we sent it to them so how does it affect the food in anyway?

“He has not put his hands down his trousers. He had an itch and scratched it and this has been blown out of all proportion.
“I have a five star rating and my shop has been running for 40 years.”
