Delivery driver in Vietnam highlights challenges of customer delays
A delivery driver in Vietnam shared a personal account highlighting the difficulties faced by gig workers due to inconsiderate customer behavior. The driver recounted an incident where a customer requested a five-minute wait at an office building during extreme heat, only to forget the delivery while eating lunch.
After waiting for approximately 20 minutes without receiving a response to calls or messages, the driver eventually completed the delivery. The driver noted that the customer showed no apology or remorse for the delay, emphasizing the time pressure and physical exhaustion inherent in the profession, especially when dealing with unexpected wait times.
