Although the video doesn't capture the birds on top of the food, the passer-by said that they were walking all over the top layer of cakes before the delivery was carried into the store for the next again day, saying that it was rather concerning to see.
The video is captioned: "Don't be eating at Greggs in Portobello as gulls have been walking over the food and eating it." At one point, a seagull is picking at one item while in the middle of the road, as various passers-by stop to witness the worrying incident.
The man said the birds were swooping in, walking all over the food and making off with some of them, saying the delivery driver was nowhere to be seen while it was going on.
In the comment section of the video, the man added that after speaking to the driver, he said it is a frequent occurrence and there's not a lot he can do to prevent the seagulls being attracted to the food.
Other users in the comments were shocked at what they had seen, some saying they won't be back after seeing the video. Typically, frozen items are delivered to stores every evening to be stored in the freezer, with another delivery of fresh ingredients and cakes coming later in the day or early in the morning.
