A Florida food delivery manager has been accused of stealing money from a restaurant, according to recent reports.
MX Tacos in Orlando, Florida, reported on Facebook on Sunday about the theft, saying the man – who is believed to be a driver of Uber Eats – took cash directly from the restaurant’s tippot on Friday night.
The incident was captured on video by the restaurant’s security camera.

Ryan Manning, the owner of MX Tacos, told WESH 2 News that only about $ 20 was taken out of the pot. Although it is not much, that money still makes a difference for its employees.

“Having that little bit of extra cash in my employees’ pocket is definitely important to them, and to me as well,” Manning told the station.

According to the safety material obtained by WESH 2 News, it appears that the driver wiped his hands with a paper towel as he approached the register. With no one else in the room, the man seems to put his hand in the potty and fold the money in the paper towel.
“It was very smooth, which almost makes me think it’s been done before because of how smooth it was,” Manning told WESH 2 News.

“I do not want this to happen to other businesses and other restaurant workers,” Manning told WESH 2 News.
An Uber spokesman told Fox News that the driver no longer has access to the app.
“What has been described is completely unacceptable,” the spokesman said. “The delivery partner’s access to the app has been removed and we will work with law enforcement on their investigation.”
