HARSH CONDITIONS, BUT FEW CHEATS: DELIVERY BOYS

We delivery boys work day and night. We don’t get any breaks, not even for meals. All the time we are driving from one place to another, non-stop. So I can understand the temptation for this delivery boy to indulge in such an act. Ideally, delivery boys should be given lunch breaks or at least restaurants or delivery portals should provide us a meal service. A delivery boy who wished to stay anonymous

There is no official lunch break. Delivery boys are supposed to take out time to eat right in the middle of work. And that’s the problem. Imagine you are about to eat your lunch and suddenly you get a delivery request? There is always a shortage of time in this job. However, most delivery guys are well trained and well behaved, I think this is a one-off case. Mohammad Shahid

This is a classic case of one bad apple affecting the entire bunch. All of us should not be blamed for his mistake. The outrage on social media makes it even worse. It’s got nothing to do with food delivery companies or restaurants, but everything to do with the individual. Blame the person. Anyone can do this. Sachin Verma

It’s an extremely demanding and a thankless job, but which job isn’t? However, what this person has done is inexcusable. It only makes jobs of people like me tougher. At times, the delivery guys eat leftover food; and this is only in rare situations when the company they work for don’t provide them meals. People like this should be fired and such incidents are very rare. Most of the delivery personnel are not like this. Mithilesh Yadav
