Story of Giving Peaches to Delivery Courier
As delivery and courier workers face increasing difficulties due to the heatwave and heavy rain, a heartwarming story has touched netizens: a customer who ordered drinks at a cafe also took care of the delivery driver's drink. On the 24th, a post titled "Such a Wonderful Customer" was uploaded to an online community for small business owners. Mr. A, who runs a cafe, shared the delivery app order slip along with the customer's purchase review screen.
Looking at the delivery order slip disclosed by Mr. A, there was a request from customer Mr. B. Mr. B ordered several drinks and requested, "Please give one peach iced tea to the delivery driver!" In response, Mr. A said, "It's raining and hot, but today is truly heartwarming," and on the order slip he sent to the delivery driver, he wrote "Touched" above the request and drew a large heart.
Thanks to Mr. B, the delivery driver who received the drink took a few sips and sent a photo along with a message saying, "Thank you so much, customer." Later, Mr. B left a review saying, "The owner and the driver are so cute," and added, "Please take care in the heat." Mr. A said, "I've been self-employed for over 10 years, but this is the first time something like this has happened. The driver was happy too." Netizens who saw this story responded with comments such as "So heartwarming," "A warm person full of consideration," and "The owner, the driver, and the customer all have beautiful hearts."
Earlier, on the 7th, another heartwarming story was shared. Mr. C, who introduced himself as a 13-year veteran courier working in Cheonan-si, Chungcheongnam-do, shared a touching story about a couple, Mr. and Mrs. D, to whom he frequently delivers. According to Mr. C, the D couple live on the second floor without an elevator, so he always used the stairs to make deliveries. The couple reportedly always brought drinks with an apology, saying "Sorry."
At that time, Mr. C carried two boxes of peaches upstairs and was about to leave after completing the delivery when the D couple handed him one box of peaches. Mr. C said, "I was about to leave after handing over the goods, but they gave me one of the two boxes of peaches I just delivered," adding, "I said it was okay and tried not to accept it, but their daughter insisted that I must take it, so I accepted it." He added, "It's very humid today, but this gives me strength."
