[Financial News] A heartwarming story is drawing attention online after it was revealed that the service drink that had been missing every time a delivery meal was ordered was actually a thoughtful gesture from the wife for the delivery driver.
On the 7th, a post was published on an online community by a man identified as A, who said he had planned to complain to a restaurant because the drink was missing every time he ordered delivery food.
A had previously brushed off the missing drinks as simple mistakes. But one day, when even the zero-calorie drink he had personally selected was not delivered, he was about to call the store to check. At that moment, his wife stopped him and told him to "drink the sparkling water at home."
When A asked why, his wife explained, "Aren't you grateful to the delivery drivers who go up and down the stairs of buildings without elevators in this hot weather?" She added, "I wrote in the order request in advance to give it to the driver." In other words, she had been leaving a note through the delivery app asking that the service drink be given to the delivery driver each time.
A said he only then realized why the delivery drivers had always greeted him with bright smiles and sincere thanks whenever they handed over the food. He added, "I usually had a negative impression of delivery drivers, but after learning my wife's true intention, I felt much better." He went on to say, "It is a small act of consideration that can make both sides smile, so I encourage others to try it too."
Internet users who saw the story responded positively, saying, "That is such a good idea," "A gift like an oasis for drivers exhausted by the heat," and "A warm, human story that makes you feel better."
