We all hear stories from time to time of delivery drivers tampering with food, and thats just the ones that get caught. Call me paranoid but I'm too weary of letting a stranger be alone with my food in their car.
Since you offered, you're being paranoid.

You can tip the driver when you place the order. The bags are all zipped up by the restaurant and in the back of the car. The driver makes money by speedy service, and they're focused on getting your food to you. I actually trust those restaurant based drivers less. I live across from a popular pizza joint, and some of their drivers are sketchy. What are 3rd party driver's motivation to tamper with my food? Why would they want to kill me? If just makes no sense. The pick up the food, rush to my door as fast as they possibly can, deliver it and they're off to their next stop. End of story.
