Release time:Apr 24, 2024 01:41 AM

On the evening of November 5, a screenshot of a notice stating "age limit for delivery service has expired" was circulated on the Internet, mentioning ">45 years old" and "Because you no longer meet the service standards of Meituan and the delivery provider, and for your safety, The system will no longer be able to deliver orders to you" and other statements have triggered heated discussions. is this real?

A reporter from the Shanghai Rumor Refuting Platform learned that Meituan riders are divided into two types: crowdsourcing and dedicated delivery. The former is part-time and the latter is full-time. Crowdsourced riders only need to provide a health certificate, meet age requirements, and undergo traffic safety training before they can register to receive orders. Meituan has also designed two apps, special delivery and crowdsourcing. Among them, the crowdsourcing platform directly stated in the registration requirements, "As long as you are in good health, aged between 18-57 years old, and have a smartphone, you can apply to become a Meituan rider."

Meituan crowdsourcing platform registration shows that the age range of riders is between 18 and 57 years old.

In order to sense the age distribution of riders, the reporter conducted a random survey and called 10 takeaway riders. Seven of them are under 30 years old, two are under 40 years old and one is over 45 years old. Many riders said that they had indeed heard of the online legend, but had not seen any official notification with their own eyes. They believe that most of the main riders in the market are young people. "The riders in the team should generally be younger, and there may be older riders in the crowdsourcing."

A rider who is over 45 years old said that he has been delivering food for less than a year and is a team rider. The main delivery range is within 5 or 6 kilometers around Xujiahui. “Whether to recruit older riders mainly depends on the team’s recruitment standards. , at least my registration and training went smoothly, and the treatment and benefits were the same. There was no age limit. "According to his observation, there are some older riders, but the main force is still young riders. "After all, this is physical work. Those who eat youth food.”

In 2021, the Institute of Social Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences sampled 6,196 pieces of data on young food delivery riders, and the survey subjects came from 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across the country. Data shows that the post-70s generation accounts for 6.5%, the post-80s generation 37.1%, the post-90s generation 51%, and the post-00s generation 5.4%. It can also be inferred that the proportion of takeaway riders over 45 years old is not high.

Many riders interviewed believe that there are older riders, but most of the riders in the market are young people.

In response to the online rumor law, the person in charge of the Meituan platform responded that the rumor online that the upper age limit for delivery workers is 45 is a rumor, and that relevant rumors have appeared in multiple versions on the Internet, and all of them have been refuted. The rumor makers are attracting attention by creating age anxiety. The screenshots posted online are similar to the previous rumor pictures. It cannot be ruled out that they are copied from the P picture.

The Shanghai Rumor Refuting Platform noticed that claims about the age limit for riders have been circulated many times this year. For example, “You may not necessarily be qualified to deliver food after the age of 35” and “Guangzhou Meituan has fully recruited its riders, and the bachelor’s degree rate is close to 30%.” In March this year, a screenshot with exactly the same text was circulated, but without the expression ">45 years old". Industry insiders have said that takeout sites have high liquidity, and it is normal for daily staff to increase or decrease based on order volume and rider performance. The so-called expressions such as site saturation, age restriction, and undergraduate degree are probably self-media accounts selling anxiety about age and academic qualifications in order to attract attention and gain traffic.

There is a mixed bag of popular short videos on medical science. Four key points can be quickly identified.

I brought "equipment" to take pictures on the Binjiang River in Shanghai but was stopped by security: Do I need to "report" in advance?

Citizen Mr. Liu recently left a message to Liberation Daily and Shangguan News, saying that in mid-September this year, he accompanied four friends to the riverside viewing platform in the North Bund section of Hongkou to take portrait photos. The group and three photographers totaled eight people. . Since they were shooting at night, they also brought more professional equipment, including lighting lights with power of 30 watts and 40 watts respectively. Unexpectedly, as soon as the filming started, he was stopped by the on-site security guard. The security guard judged that Mr. Liu's behavior was obviously a "commercial shooting" and said that according to regulations, he needed to report first, so the filming on that day could not continue. Afterwards, Mr. Liu believed that although the formation looked relatively large, they were indeed not a fee-charging studio. They were just simple photography enthusiasts, and the shooting was not a commercial activity. He asked: Is Binjiang managing a similar filming business?

Can operating vehicles such as taxis and online ride-hailing vehicles be equipped with child safety seats?
Can operating vehicles such as taxis and online ride-hailing vehicles be equipped with child safety seats?

Wang Ye Children's safety is no small matter. Nowadays, more and more families are installing child safety seats in their family passenger cars. However, currently taxis and online ride-hailing services are generally not equipped with child safety seats. If parents need to take their minors with them, There are certain safety risks when people take taxis, online ride-hailing and other operating vehicles. Scientific experiments have proven that if the vehicle is not equipped with a child safety seat, but instead uses the method of carrying a minor, when the vehicle impacts at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, an impact equivalent to 30 times the body weight will occur at the moment of impact. For example, a child weighing 10 kilograms will have an impact force of 300 kilograms at the moment of collision. This child cannot be held by the strength of human hands alone. And the reality also proves the importance of child safety seats

A set of cables is still hanging high in the air, or is it illegally erected? It has been half a year since the undergrounding of the Zhapu Road overhead line was completed, but the grounding was forgotten.

On Zhapu Road, where the overhead line undergrounding project was completed at the end of last year, a set of communication cables that should have been buried underground strangely appeared in the air, causing considerable trouble to the Kunshan Park nearby. On September 22, Xia Zhongyi, the manager of Kunshan Park on Zhapu Road, called the 12345 citizen service hotline for help. He said that a set of cables had been hanging at the entrance of the park, and the middle section was "stretched" on two trees at the entrance of the park for more than half a year. Not to mention affecting the image of the park, below are the benches set up along the street in the park. Old people often sit and rest. "What if the black cable box hits someone on the head?" What's more important is that this section of Zhapu Road was completed at the end of last year. This means that the overhead line entry project should not be in the air at all. The section of Zhapu Road from North Suzhou Road in the south to Kunshan Road in the north was opened as early as the second half of last year.
