Should we order takeout in rainstorm days? Netizens argue over one side | Subsidies | Netizens
Recently, the rainstorm in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and other places poured in. Whether to order takeout in extreme weather has become a hot topic. The contradiction between the concern for the personal safety of selling riders to the public and the objective situation of inconvenience in going out has attracted the attention of netizens.
Should we order takeout in rainstorm? For the answer to this question, both the rider and the netizen have considered it, but they have different paths and the same goal.
Riders in rainstorm:
"I hope to make money, but safety comes first"
For Mr. Sun, a delivery platform rider, the work of rainstorm's rainstorm these days is breathtaking.
"The delivery time limit of the platform has been longer in the past two days, such as 40 minutes on a regular basis, which is 50 minutes to 1 hour." Mr. Sun mentioned to China News Network that in recent days, in addition to the extension of the delivery time limit, overtime records will also be removed in the background, which will not affect assessment and salary. In addition, there is a corresponding subsidy for each order sent.
However, compared to other platforms that offer subsidies ranging from two to five yuan per order, Mr. Sun only receives a subsidy of five cents per order, which is equivalent to nothing.
"Unless on leave, one must go out to work in bad weather. If they don't come out, they will be considered absent from work and fined 200 yuan directly." Mr. Sun said that he is eager to earn more money, but he feels that in such weather, even if he earns less, even if he doesn't make money on the day off, he is willing.
Accidents are really easy to happen in rainstorm days. Mr. Sun mentioned, "The videos you see of riders delivering takeout with water dripping down their waists are not jokes, they are real." As long as the order is within a 5-kilometer delivery range, no matter how harsh the weather conditions are, it can only be accepted. For this reason, Mr. Sun even had a dispute with the station master.
"The platform likes rainy days, what they want is data," Mr. Sun said bluntly, and the riders are all eating "data rice". In the face of the platform explosion in rainstorm days, riders need to compete with the passing time to make their data more beautiful.
Some riders also hope to take more orders in rainstorm days. The riders are paid according to the amount of orders delivered, but the amount of orders is large in rainstorm days, and the platform will extend the delivery time limit and give riders subsidies. Some riders said that customers would not urge for orders in rainstorm days, and they would note "slippery roads in rainy days, pay attention to safety" when placing orders. Some customers also sent milk to riders.

Netizen: "I don't want to cause trouble for the rider"
In this rainstorm, netizens paid more attention to the group of salesmen.
Some netizens said that during the rainstorm, they didn't care whether the riders were overtime, didn't ask for a bill, and didn't give bad comments to the overtime riders, as long as the riders arrived safely. Some netizens also believe that ordering takeout should not be done in extreme weather, as they do not want to cause trouble for riders.
Ms. Zhao, a Beijing citizen, has a different view. She believed that if there were no riders who answered the order in the rainstorm, she would not complain, but since someone answered the order, it meant that the riders wanted to make money.
"If the rider decides to set up a stall, regardless of whether you order or not, he has already come out, so in the case of someone taking the order, I think it is possible to order," Ms. Zhao said.
Ms. Yan also said her own idea to www.chinanews.com: "Can the platform cyclists choose not to take over during the rainstorm? If the cyclists have no choice, they should not order."
She said that her idea of "whether to order takeout in rainstorm days" depended on whether the rider had the right to refuse orders in extreme rainstorm areas.
Regardless of whether it is pointed or not, people are all considering the rider. As one netizen said, "There is no right or wrong, as one side considers the rider's income and the other side considers the rider's safety.".
In recent years, the relationship between food delivery riders and platforms has attracted widespread public attention, and there has been an increasing call for food delivery platforms to relax restrictions on riders.
In this regard, Meituan said that in order to cope with rainstorm, the platform launched the "special weather protection mechanism", and each station will pay real-time attention to the road conditions and orders in each distribution area, and help riders reduce the distribution pressure by extending the delivery time, shortening the delivery distance, eliminating the overtime bad comments, increasing the order subsidies and other measures. In case of extreme rainstorm, Meituan take away will temporarily stop the delivery service in this area to ensure the driving safety of the riders.
Ele.me stated that they have recently distributed rain and waterproof equipment such as mobile phone waterproof bags and raincoats to riders. They have also prepared ginger soup, hot tea, cold medicine, and medical kits for riders at the station to provide logistical support.
