Food delivery workers are the saviors of our Friday nights at home. They bring us pizza and allow us the joy of indulging in our laziness along with it. Sometimes, however, they also add a little extra.

There's a Twitter account called "Suspicious DMs". It shares funny, weird, and even creepy messages that people receive from others, and (not) surprisingly, delivery workers are quite a popular category among both the senders and receivers.

From using ridiculous memes to announce their arrival, to obnoxiously hitting on a client... it's all there!

If you, however, get a strange text from your delivery driver, don't judge them. At least right away. Maybe they're just stressed.

As US sanctions on Russian oil have driven up demand and fuel prices continue to rise, many of them are rethinking how they make a living.

"Oh God, it's horrible," DoorDasher Kam Zuniga told WSMV4. "It makes it harder because you don't want to do it because you're spending gas money and time and energy, and you're not getting paid very much," she explained, adding that sometimes one delivery pays less than the current price of a gallon of gas.

"Sometimes you get $2.75 runs, and there’s a no tip on it, and you can’t feed your family you can’t put gas in your car," Zuniga said.

But according to Middle Tennessee State University Economics Professor Daniel Smith, prices will only climb higher.

The United States gets most of its oil from Canada, Mexico, and Saudi Arabia," he said. "But about 8% of our oil does come from Russia, so certainly banning that source is going to affect gas prices in the United States."

"The extent to which gas prices rise is, of course, going to be kind of determined politically by how much President Biden does open up the oil reserves."

My Boyfriend Ordered Postmates And The Delivery Guy Texted Him And This Is The Greatest Conversation I’ve Ever Seen

sabrina Report

But of course, not all of them are saints. A survey, which was commissioned and conducted by restaurant food supplier and distributor US Foods, asked both consumers and delivery workers about their "habits and pain points" when it comes to ordering and delivering meals.

The responses revealed some unique insight as to how long people will actually wait to get their food, attitudes toward tipping, and more. Unfortunately, they also presented some unsettling information. For example, out of nearly 500 delivery workers surveyed, 28% said they tasted food from an order.

Looks like the temptation of a delicious meal is just too hard to resist. Especially when it's just sitting in your car.

Responding to the survey results, a Postmates spokesperson provided the following statement to TODAY: "At Postmates, nothing is more important to us than the safety and wellbeing of our entire community, which is why we require each person who completes a delivery using Postmates to expressly agree that all food and goods delivered will arrive in a tamper free form and in compliance with all applicable food health and safety laws."

"While reports of food tampering represent less than 0.06% of cases reported to our Trust & Safety team, we take any report of health safety violations very seriously, which is why we have built trust & security into our product design and network operations from day one," the spokesperson said.

The Postmates spokesperson said they, "have specific policies and community standards in place to prevent tampering; investigate all reported order irregularities; take prompt action against any accounts suspected of tampering with orders; and work with any impacted customers to ensure a prompt resolution of any issues they report."

"We're also engaged in active discussions with lawmakers and other stakeholders to develop a regulatory framework for the safety of food delivery," they added.
