A Zomato delivery man was sacked by the restaurant aggregator after he was caught eating on a customer's order. The two-and-half minute video first surfaced on Facebook, and showed the man wearing a red Zomato t-shirt pulling out a food package from his bag, taking a couple of bites and resealing it before leaving for his delivery location.
