Anyone worked as food deliveryman before

Platform keep cutting incentive and fare now , good luck

Think that's why chut more pattern trying to get full time foreigner from lesser places do. As they don't need as much to survive. What is often little to locals, tend is alot to them after converting the exchange and send back home. Thus, they can survive better with the crappy payout. As they don't need to retire to local, their money can better put to good use with their cheaper living back home.

Local businesses pattern alot quite standard one. On surface they are not paying people more (some even lesser) despite the escalating cost of living. Yet like to kpkb locals are expensive despite the crappy pay they give. And rather get foreigners to accept the lesser payout with more joy.

That's why more and more locals suffer despite what those up there like to say life is good. Just look at the increasing amount of locals get displaced to lesser jobs, while the FT come in with higher pay. And gigs work absorbed alot of such displaced local workers to cover the tracks of any surface problems.

Think ebike more orders bah. Cause they faster, the jobs turnover faster. Can pick up more jobs. They probably can do up to twice as much on a busy day than bicycle. That is provided there are plenty to go around. If not, when business is jialat, no matter ebike or bicycle all same ba-long-long crowd around wait.

Turn over fast likely is bicycle account using ebike, real ebike distance not near

Got 1 time this ah bui on his ebike wearing sweater, he pass by and I immediately smell the chao sng smell

Knn on ebike also sweat so much ah

I part time using mototcycle. I actually enjoy doing delivery. Quite relax and mindless one. The main pet peeves are restaurants slow resulting in long wait time and the weather.

Think last time ebike and bicycle about same one. They don't differentiate as much. But now not sure with the separate incentives scheme.

But ebike also quite selective one, many tend cancel if feel its too far. They don't want to waste their battery juice also. But they can go farther with lesser effort as compare to bicycle.

Think with the change in incentives scheme, now the platform is more particular in checking if the delivery is using the right mode of transport as they declared.

Think they can roughly gauge how fast and how much ebike or bicycle can complete certain amount of orders within certain time period one, given the huge amount of data in the background for AI to process. Thus, spot the irregularity.

Think its the sun. As long as outside, even if cloudy day, under direct sunlight sure will sweat one.

Abit don't get those that wear sweater or jacket while doing food delivery. Not sure for what. Add extra heat only, not to mention the sweat. Wear a quick dry shirt also better. Won't be that smelly.

Think weather still okay bah. Part and parcel of the job. Cannot siam. But if rain heavy then not so good liao. As it tend make the job difficult and more dangerous.

Think to certain extent, the job is quite good for relaxing the mind wise, when things go smoothly. As most of the focus is on one thing, that is getting the food deliver. Alot of things to take note, especially when on the road, but not too troublesome, just tedious, if don't want make a mistake or waste time. Thus, in the process alot of distracting thoughts tend get push aside while on the job.

Think if don't want waste time at restaurant waiting, just cancel and move on if don't mind the incentive. Quite sometimes can gauge the wait could be long or short one, thus take a risk cancel. During busy peak hours think not as worth it to wait more than 5 mins. As the next job can come in few short minutes, no point waste there do nothing. Especially when on single job, or at time stack 3 or more. Think most waiting average between 10 to 20 minutes. Which is enough to complete a short trip job liao.

PR can ah. Thank now than I know.
But at least don't need to compete with FT or FW till not bad.
Government should restrict more such jobs for sinkie. Sinkie love such jobs.

Ya that's the issue nowadays during peak hour.. you can see even 10-20 people waiting at the hot spots.. can't be they are just resting there

Think the gps calculation is always faster one. As think it hard for them to take into consideration the delay at traffic light. What they use is just an average.

Peak hours not really bah. Unless very crowded place. Usually peak hours the jobs come pretty fast. Seldom see alot of delivery still hang around during peak hours. At most two or three.

Thoush may see some smokers like quite heck care, they will just stand there finish a stick first even though they have a job or collected. Maybe cause just finish a long job need some smoke break.

No la i can tell it's not walking speed.. very obvious..

As mentioned think gps average speed is much faster one. Even for bicycle or ebike. Can see always got recalulation whenever there is a delay at the traffic light. Not sure what averege speed they use but its fast.

Think gps also don't really factor in much, anything less that motor vehicle. The route like mostly on the road one. Even if there are shortcut through footpath. Do walker gps show mostly footpath?

Chiu is rider? Order food to stalk other rider to see if they using right transport?

if the walker really walk the customer sure complain very slow

 

[itedino]

How was it?

I feel like trying.

No need to answer to boss. No need to work with people. Can exercise. Very flexible. Low stress.

since I’m bbfa no gf no wife no kids. Do simi job nvm what. For now food delivery also unlikely to be replaced by AI.

Very rush lo. Keep sending orders. Very tiring also. Ride motor very sticky and dusty. Raining time wear slippers to delivery.. clothes also wet.

I don't really care much about which transport they use ba.. yeah the faster the food is delivered the better..

Me and spouse do together cycling sometimes.. we just cycle for 2-3 hours then go back.. most of the time don't get much..
