"Can't Leave Food Next to Trash, I'll Throw It Away"
Delivery Driver's Kindness Moves Netizens
A customer's story about being touched by a delivery driver's kindness in taking away food waste left at the front door has been shared. The delivery driver said, "I just removed it because I couldn't place the food next to the trash."
On the 19th, a post titled "The Chinese restaurant delivery driver cleaned up the food waste" was published on the self-employed community 'Apeunikka Sajangida' (Because It's Painful, I'm a Boss). The post explained a recent incident experienced by the author's mother, Ms. A. She said, "My younger sibling briefly put out food waste and a trash bag in front of the door to throw away on their way out. It seems the Chinese food delivery arrived during that time. The delivery driver sent a message along with a photo."
The message from delivery driver Mr. B read, "Your meal has arrived at the door. Please enjoy your food and kindly leave a review. I will take care of the trash for you. Enjoy your meal." The photo showed a volume-based waste bag full of food waste placed neatly next to the metal delivery box. Ms. A responded, "I am very touched and grateful. I feel sorry since you must be busy with your work. I will definitely repay you next time I order. Please drive safely in this cold weather, and I hope everything goes well with your work. Thank you once again."
In response, Mr. B said, "You are a valued customer of the Chinese restaurant, and I just removed the trash because I couldn't place the food next to it. Please don’t feel burdened. Thank you." The author sent a cake gifticon to Mr. B on behalf of their mother, saying, "Please enjoy it without any burden and have a joyful year-end with your family." Mr. B replied, "This is the first time since opening that I have received such a big gift from a customer. Even a small mistake would usually get me scolded, so this is truly touching. Thank you very much. I hope happiness always fills your home. Stay healthy."
Netizens who read the story responded warmly with comments like "The boss’s business mindset is so admirable," "If it’s that boss’s store, I would trust and order for sure," "A lifelong customer reservation," "The author who gave a return gift is also admirable," "A heartwarming story for the year-end," "Good deeds create more good deeds," and "Let’s all live like this."
