"If Customers Pay 1000 Won, Delivery Drivers Get Coffee"…New Menu Controversy

Customers and Stores Share Half Each
Supporters: "Useful When Meeting Minimum Delivery Cost"
Opponents: "Already Paying 4000 Won Delivery Fee Each"

When a franchise coffee shop introduced a menu item called 'Coffee for Delivery Drivers,' a heated debate erupted among consumers.

Recently, a post titled "Would you order this menu item for 1,000 won when ordering coffee delivery?" was uploaded on an online community.

The post included a photo capturing the menu screen of a franchise coffee shop, where the menu item was named 'Americano for Gisa-nim' (delivery drivers).

The menu was priced at 1,000 won, and the description read, "This is an Americano exclusively for rider drivers. Both we and the customers each pay 1,000 won to provide an Americano to the hardworking drivers."

However, netizens who saw the post had mixed reactions.

Those with negative views commented, "Is it really necessary to take care of delivery drivers too?", "What kind of logic is it to split the cost with customers?", and "We are already paying 3,000 to 4,000 won just for delivery fees."

There were also netizens with positive responses, saying, "It helps to meet the minimum delivery cost," and "Buying it for delivery drivers when the weather is bad is not a bad idea."
