In recent years, food delivery platforms have become popular, people can receive meals without going out, and even ask the delivery staff to buy fresh groceries, but have you ever seen such a request? In China, orders for “carrying the dead old man downstairs” appeared, and it was even suspected that a delivery man actually took the order, which sparked heated discussions among netizens. In this regard, the platform involved also responded.
According to the “Red Star News” report, there were two orders for “carrying the dead old man downstairs” in Zigong City, Sichuan Province a few days ago. It can be seen from the screen that the address is located on Huichuan Road, Ziliujing District. On the funeral car at the entrance of the building with the back of the building…additional 30 yuan red envelope hand-tied with red thread”, another mentions “five knives in paper money, two ten thousand yuan coins…an extra 20 yuan tip”.
The news caused an uproar, and many netizens were horrified. They bluntly said: “I don’t know what to say”, “It’s outrageous…”, “Whoever loves to do this job, I won’t do it for extra money”, “30 yuan? 300 yuan Don’t dare to recite it!”, “Speechless”.
Unexpectedly, a delivery man posted a self-reported statement. Although he hesitated after receiving the order, he still went to the designated place, “When I got downstairs, I heard crying from upstairs. A family member saw me and asked me Come carry someone, I replied, yes!” He came to the bed of the deceased old man and found that the old man’s face was pale, his body was stiff, and his eyes were not completely closed. “When the family put the old man on my back, it felt like I was carrying a piece of ice.”
In response to this matter, after investigation by the platform involved, it was found that the user placed an order at 20:01 on March 2, and was robbed by a deliveryman one minute later, but at 20:03 the user voluntarily canceled the order and the order was not completed. Another order for “buying $5 paper money and funeral supplies”, the investigation found that the user placed the order at 02:10 am on March 2, and was robbed by a deliveryman 13 seconds later, but the user voluntarily canceled it at 02:11. The order is also not complete. As for the order and process written by the delivery person in question on the Internet, “it has nothing to do with my platform or the order.”
It is reported that the platform involved is a comprador pick-up and delivery platform in this place. In the past, it has also received orders for buying funeral supplies and sweeping graves and presenting flowers, but this is the first time to carry the deceased. Under the condition of abiding by the law, public order and good customs, and understanding the rules of the platform, accept orders as required.
