A DoorDash delivery driver has been accused of dousing a food order in pepper-spray, which caused a customer to choke on her dinner.
Mark Cardin, 42, and his wife ordered food from Arby's on Sunday, only for their night to take a sick turn.
'I noticed my wife had started eating and she started choking and gasping, and after she had a couple bites of her food she actually threw up,' Cardin told 14 News.
The panicked husband began looking for clues and was horrified to realize the bag their food had been delivered in appeared to have been tampered with.
'I had to look at the bag and see that there was some kind of spray or something,' he fumed.
Furious, Cardin went to investigate.
As he checked footage from their doorbell camera, he watched in disgust as the purple-haired woman delivering their food appeared to spray something onto the food bag.

That’s why we like Carrabba’s......you can at least sit at the the kitchen bar and watch your food being prepared if you want to.
But yeah, I hear stories regularly about food delivery people “snacking” on people’s food prior delivery and fries seem to be a favorite target.......none for me thanks. đ
She was correct—that is exactly what the “meat” looked like.
Door Dash doesnât hire people. They contract with them. I think it is as easy as downloading an app and consenting to the agreement. Probably a few technicalities like a checking account and a car to be verified. They may require insurance. Other than that I donât think they meet the drivers or interview them. I just see these guys walk in looking at their phones and walk out with bags of food.
I KNOW RIGHT?
It would be nice perhaps if before you order, you can see a picture of the person who will be doing the delivery.
Purple hair eh?

Beer gut, knock-kneed, blue haired, professional terrorizer is no way to go through life. I’ll always get my own food.
where it happened? Zanzibar or Paris or else?
I like Door Dash. I use it frequently. My question is how do you not smell pepper spray on the bag before you eat?
that’s true. I got a p/t job making pasta in one of our favorite places to eat.
Came home day 1 and said “we can never eat there again”
“Rap” is for people who can’t sing...

I was going to say the same thing about Benihana.... watch your food being prepared and be entertained at the same time... https://www.benihana.com/
“’We live in a terrible world right now,’ Cardin continued. ‘Horrific. People are mean for no reason. There was no reason to do what she did.’”
The purple hair gave it away. And why blur that fat purple haired blob’s face?
They don’t care. They hire people that don’t speak English.
Arby’s has terrible roast beef sandwiches and their “fries” are awful.
Yeah I saw that post coming even before I clicked on the link - there would be talk of “eff ‘em if they order out for Arbys”
Im actually shocked that people trust total strangers to transport their food to their house in this day and age.
In a restaurant food establishment...yes I am aware bad things can happen...but most people are working in a group...to things like in this video....or much worse, cannot easily happen at the food of food preparation.
Not so mention..from what I understand...doordash and services like it are ABSURDLY expensive.
“I’m actually shocked that people trust total strangers to transport their food to their house in this day and age.”
I visit with relatives who use Door Dash and other food delivery services. The bags the food is delivered in are tightly sealed including with tape so that one has to use scissors or a knife to open them. They have anticipated the risk of food tampering.
“First off, being too lazy to go get your own Arby’s causes me to have limited sympathy for these two.”
You’re an uncivilized jerk, good to know.
