On the 2nd, a notice to apply for delivery personnel is hung at the regional center of a delivery agency in downtown Seoul. Due to the re-proliferation of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19), the number of delivery orders has rapidly increased, leading to difficulties in supply and demand for delivery personnel. According to the People of Delivery, the total number of orders per week from the 24th to 30th of the last week of August, when the spread of Corona 19 was severe, increased 26.5% from the last week of July (20th to 26th). / Reporter Kim Hyun-min kimhyun81@
[아시아경제 최은영 기자] The event that the people of delivery agency, the people of Delivery, asked to hand out snacks to the troubled delivery drivers, is being beaten by netizens.
On the 19th, an online community posted an article titled’What do you think about the controversial delivery tip?’
The article said, “I don’t know why I’m not rebelling against the rising delivery tips. Food delivery is more expensive than the price of a taxi that transfers people by car. I’m curious about the basis for pricing.”
Following that, the People of Delivery mentioned the event’Give Your Heart to the Delivery Driver’, which runs from the 19th to the 9th of the following month. The author pointed out, “It seems that you are looking at the consumer as a hogu. Isn’t welfare a thing to do at the company level. It’s not a courier driver (a bit excessive).”

This event is an event that presents a’thank you kit’ to 3,000 people through a lottery for app users. The’Thank You Kit’ included a snack bag that can be hung on the door hook, a delivery mat placed in front of the door, and a magnet with the phrase’Thanks to the driver, I’m happy today.’
The People of Delivery explained the purpose of the event, saying, “It was planned to express gratitude to the drivers who conveniently deliver food delivered even in difficult times because of the corona,” but the reaction of netizens who encountered this was cold.
Netizens responded, “I miss the days when there was no delivery fee. Now, there is no need to wash my eyes and find places where delivery is free, and the amount of metallurgical metallurgy rises,” and “It is funny that the minimum order amount is set even though I pay the delivery fee.”
On the 17th, a netizen mentioned the incident of a delivery driver running away after exposing major parts of the body to a female resident in an elevator in Seoul. He pointed out that deliveryman crime is still occurring everywhere, and that it is a premature event.
As the cold reaction continued, the people of Delivery ended the event at 3 pm on the 19th, six hours later.
