Recently, there has been a lot of discussion on the Internet about Meituan not buying social security for its riders. As a for-profit company, as long as it does not violate laws and regulations, it will find ways to maximize its benefits. People who eat melons must not expect that the capitalists will pity the poor people at the bottom, otherwise it will be an insult to their own intelligence.
I used to be very keen on ordering takeout. It is convenient, hassle-free and not expensive in the early stage. It really makes it easy for us to become dependent on it. But three experiences have made me basically say goodbye to Meituan takeaways completely. I have never used ps: Are you hungry?
Experience 1: I have ordered porridge from the same breakfast shop for ten or twenty days in a row for 15 years. It tastes very good and the packaging is exquisite. One day, I drove to the shop for breakfast on a whim. When I arrived at my destination, I saw in front of me It's all black. To call it a black workshop is to praise it. Meituan can put such a "store" online, which shows where its bottom line and conscience are. Later, I learned that there are too many such stores. I lived near a university town in Yiyang for several months. There were too many disgusting stores around. It is impossible to describe in words. When it comes to food safety, that is tell a joke.
Experience 2: It’s also breakfast. Changde Beef Noodles is relatively famous. When I was in Yiyang, I often went to their chain stores and was familiar with the prices. One time I wanted to order one when I was hungry at night. For takeout beef noodles, I knew that the price of spicy beef noodles in the store was 13 yuan, but when I placed an order through Meituan, it showed 25 yuan. But I was short on money, so I drove there. In fact, it was only a two-minute drive. The difference of 1 times the price between online and offline makes me speechless.
Experience 3: There was a time when I ordered takeout every morning and evening. There were two people in the office, me and my client. There was a homemade trash can at the door. For about a week, the trash can could no longer hold the food. The scene was a bit shocking at the time when the takeout garbage was left over, so let’s make up our minds about the scene.
These three experiences basically made me say goodbye to takeout and no longer order takeout. Later I discovered that in fact, most of the time it was just a matter of walking a few more steps and exercising by the way.
I am not a noble person by any means, but when I think about the huge amount of plastic waste generated by so many takeaway orders every day, does the country not care about this matter? According to relevant data, in the takeout industry alone, the number of takeout lunch boxes nationwide has exceeded 60 million every day, and at least 30 million plastic bags or packaging boxes are consumed. And most of them are non-biodegradable plastic lunch boxes.
What value does takeaway create? It is like an anesthetic and a drug that will make you feel happy for a short period of time, but as time goes on, in the next few decades or hundreds of years, how will our descendants feel about us when they face a pile of plastic waste? ? ! ! !
