Why is there almost no tipping for delivery people in China?

Mondo Social Updated on 2024-01-28

My family lives on the 18th floor, and once there was a problem with the elevator in the building that could not be used, and I happened to order a cup of coffee. When I was worrying about how the coffee would be delivered, the doorbell rang, and the takeaway guy climbed 18 floors to deliver the coffee to me. I wanted to tip the takeaway brother 10 yuan, but the brother refused.

My cousin is a very compassionate person, she sympathizes with the takeaway brother who comes and goes in the wind and rain every day, especially when she sees some people running outside with their children, she can't stand it. Every time she orders takeout, she has to give the takeaway brother a red envelope ranging from a few yuan to ten yuan. However, suddenly one day, my cousin stopped giving red envelopes to the delivery man. She said that giving this red envelope would make the delivery person feel that she was deliberately hurting herself and hurting her self-esteem. All people have self-esteem and all beings are equal.

I have to talk about the differences between Eastern and Western cultures. Similarly, when ordering a takeaway, tipping in foreign countries is a sign of respect for laborers, and tipping culture in the United States is the culture. But in China, for a 10 yuan takeaway, you give the delivery man a tip of one or two yuan (10%-20%), which is not low. But the delivery man thought in his heart: Are you insulting my personality when you give me one or two pieces?

In the United States, where the tipping culture is more common, "occupations that can take tips generally do not have a basic salary", yes, the waitress in that restaurant, unless it is a fast food restaurant, in other cases, her boss may not even give her a dime salary.

If customers generally tip, then the platform will definitely reduce the delivery fee. Does the courier give it?Do coal miners give it?Do sanitation workers give it or not?It's the platform that's squeezing riders and merchants, not consumers!

I am talking about the maintenance staff who are also laborers like the delivery staff. Why are they reluctant to tip these workers?

When it comes to the air conditioning equipment at home, I'd rather replace it with a new one than fix it now. Don't care what is broken, don't care what is wrong, a person to repair must be replaced, how much it depends on the mood of the maintenance personnel, a few hundred that is less.

Before the air conditioner was moved, I found a nearby maintenance worker, and refilled the refrigerant after the move, but it was not refrigerated within a few days, and the indoor unit became louder, so I had to sell it as a scrap to the new air conditioner manufacturer installation master.

When you move the air conditioner, you ask someone how much it is, he says 100, you don't feel expensive, let him come, when you move the machine, he will tell you that your pipe is broken, you change a set of pipes, change a set of pipes down four or five hundred, if you tell him not to change, he will give you a leak when he moves the machine to reinstall the pipe, and you have to change it when the time comes.

If you don't buy a parallel battery at a higher price, it will use tools to deform the movement of your watch, and the layman will not be able to see it for a while. As a result, the watch will not work when it is gone, and it will cost a lot of money to repair.

Water pipe seepage, known as the king of plugging leaks, can plug the leak by punching a hole, and the actual cost far exceeds the publicity of the business.

This is all personal experience, and there are really many black-hearted merchants who rely on professionalism and even control customers.

One day at the beginning of the year, the gas alarm at home could not catch fire, the battery had electricity, and the gas was not in arrears, but it was not gas, so I found a maintenance master from Meituan, disassembled it for a few minutes, and charged me 140 yuan!I forgot what I made up, and I didn't see it when my husband watched it. The same situation appeared again in a few days, this time I called the gas company**, and the customer service said that the gas alarm will automatically fall off the insurance, and the insurance can be pulled up hard. The master pulled out the insurance and charged 140 yuan.

I feel that these maintenance personnel who have been selected by the market to "survive" may only have 10% of their ability to allocate repair skills, and the remaining 90% are fooling and deception capabilities.
