Chapter 306 Comparison
"There is a traffic light ahead. We estimate that we can catch the second green light in 42 seconds. We can slow down."
The prompt sound came from TT's cell phone. The delivery guy, who was about to speed up when he saw the green light ahead, consciously slowed down.
Sure enough, the green light started flashing and changing almost the next moment. Even if he had accelerated to a speed of 100 yards, he would not have been able to catch up in time.
However, the guy who stopped there was not worried at all. As long as he followed the instructions of the APP, there would be no timeout.
Even if there is a problem with the customer picking up the food, causing extra waiting time, the app will make corrections automatically.
All you have to do is become a machine that follows prompts mindlessly and do whatever the prompts say.
"Hello? Hello, this is TT Takeaway. The Fuqi Feipian Rice Bowl you ordered is here."
"Please leave it at the front desk. I'll come down and get it later."
Hearing the voice on the phone, the young man couldn't help laughing.
He used to work for Kangaroo Takeaway, and later switched to TT. In the past, when Kangaroo was delivering takeaway, many customers were eager to feed them, but recently because of Umbrella's live broadcast, many customers suddenly became very nervous.
Some people even directly asked them if they had seen any traces of zombies when they were running outside frequently.
But for some reason the task became much easier.
"Okay, I'll leave it at the front desk."
"By the way, your temperature isn't abnormal, is it? Are you bleeding anywhere?"
"No."
"Can you buy me two bags of rice? I'll give you an extra twenty dollars."
After checking that he had no other orders and was not in a hurry, the delivery guy agreed to the request.
In fact, this is not the first time he has done this. Recently, there have been a lot of customers buying rice, salt, noodles and medicine. In the first few days, even the supermarket was sold out. He was so scared that he bought some to stockpile.
However, we soon discovered that the output of this stuff was really high. It took only two or three days to make up for it, and even double the amount.
Aside from the chaos of the first few days, it’s the strange demands now that are starting to feel a bit of an impact.
But zombies...
I didn't expect this kind of thing to appear. The investigation team over there has not been any news since it took over Umbrella. I don't know what happened...
…
After TT food delivery and online car-hailing services were launched, the comparison between the two styles of the World Series and the Ahri Series has never stopped.
Although different from live streaming and short videos which are completely crushed by traffic compression technology, food delivery still mainly relies on riders, and as long as they are willing to spend money, there is not much difference in user experience.
But there is already a very obvious contrast between the deliverymen on both sides.
It's not a question of treatment and social security. Because of the subsidies provided by Kangaroo Delivery, the riders don't have many complaints. It's just that the money they pay for social security is treated as a subsidy. With the introduction of the 3 yuan a day insurance, at least their safety is guaranteed.
The main issue is the experience of the deliverymen on both sides!
Kangaroo also used big data and various algorithms, but its purpose was just to squeeze the deliverymen’s time. It also specially organized some competitions and offered considerable bonuses.
However, the racing events have pushed the deliverymen's bottom line and they have started to exploit them through the time it takes to dispatch orders.
Now that there is internal insurance, it seems to be encouraging Kangaroo's deliverymen to violate regulations when delivering food.
The situation where money is deducted for every overtime, as if someone is constantly whipping them from behind, makes the Kangaroo Delivery riders feel miserable.
The income is actually quite considerable, far exceeding the average income, but this completely uncomfortable and oppressive feeling does not seem like a relatively free profession at all.
Although the mandatory dispatch of orders during peak hours can be circumvented and bypassed by means such as going offline, the time when food delivery makes money is mainly concentrated during peak hours. How can going offline make money at this time? It is better to just quit...
At this time, forced dispatch is actually no different from coercion.
There seems to be a sense of implying that if you don't want to do it, then don't do it.
On the other hand, for TT Takeaway, because the artificial intelligence algorithm is so excellent, the optimal route and optimal solution save a lot of time, and waiting for two more traffic lights on the road is actually not a big deal!
How long does a traffic light take? Other aspects can be completely saved.
For TT Takeaway, sometimes you cannot accept orders that exceed the limit. The intelligent algorithm determines that you cannot complete the order or cannot complete it by meeting traffic regulations, and the order will fail directly.
Many riders who used to work for Kangaroo Takeaway and then switched to TT Takeaway gave a one-sided evaluation.
"The world map is too smart, and the Red Queen is too smart. I feel like I'm just an emotionless, obedient machine. I just have to follow the Red Queen's instructions."
"That's right, but there are some side effects. It's too comfortable and I get dazed when I ride my bike..."
"I used to think Kangaroo was pretty good, but the constant urging made me a little nervous, so I switched to TT. Now it's really good."
"Well, to be honest, Kangaroo Takeaway really treats us like zombies. There's really nothing much to say about that."
"Zombies? You can't take this as a joke. This is real now."
"It's really a bit magical. Things from games and movies have entered reality. Actually, I'm still a little confused now."
"This year's New Year is really exciting. "
“I don’t know if the investigation team has found any information. Although many people are now popularizing that this thing is not a big threat, if it is a man-made accident like the one in Yemen, it is still very dangerous.”
"Aren't we talking about takeout? Why did it become zombies again? Lately, it seems like a lot of topics have inexplicably become zombie topics."
"Even the entertainment industry says those young handsome guys have zombie faces, so what else can't be changed?"
“Everything is loseable.”
“…”
Although some people are slowly starting to deviate from the topic, overall it still has little impact in China.
At least in terms of stability, the people in the country still have full confidence.
A shooting incident can become national news even if no one is killed. It is completely different from Da Piaoliang, where more than a hundred people are shot and killed every day.
Different habits...
Previously, there were a few people who spread zombie rumors online and said that zombies had entered the city. They were all arrested and made examples, and were given heavy sentences and fines. Now they are obviously much better behaved, at least much better than other countries which are still in the aftermath of the panic caused by the news.
" Now I heard that even the toilet paper was snatched away from Da Piaoliang."
"Strange, why are they grabbing toilet paper?"
"Don't even mention them. We deliverymen have been frequently commissioned to deliver various daily necessities recently. Some people even snatch toilet paper."
"Me too. There was also someone who asked me to buy rice, but I gave him 20 yuan more, so I helped him carry it up."
“Do you TT riders have time to buy rice for others?”
"Of course, as long as we don't have any orders, we can stop at any time. Even full-time riders have enough rest time every day to do these things."
"Well, there's really no comparison, but the World Department has always treated its employees very well."
“…”
Faced with these words from the TT delivery rider, no one from the Kangaroo Delivery rider had any objection, because it was the fact!
Yes, if the income is a little higher, the life-threatening ghost will still have some effect, but a person earns money for a better life. Who would be willing to spend an extra 100 or 200 yuan a month in exchange for a life-threatening ghost to keep urging them?
In fact, if the social security paid by TT’s takeaway company is also taken into account, the subsidy will exceed that of Kangaroo Takeaway!
This is just like working in an electronics factory to screw screws. Many factories pay quite well, but very few people are willing to go there.
It is nonsense to talk about income without considering the workload.
This makes many Kangaroo riders yearn for TT.
Those who are not in urgent need of money are thinking about changing jobs.
If TT wasn't a full-time delivery company, there would be various assessments and requirements, and it wouldn't be so easy to get a job, and there would definitely be many people who defected on the spot.
This voice also forced Kangaroo Takeaway to make certain adjustments and concessions and launched an "incentive plan".
Those who are willing to participate in the "incentive plan" will still follow the previous algorithm and receive more subsidies, while those who are unwilling to participate in the "incentive plan" will have more time.
But even so, as some netizens said before, to some extent, Kangaroo Takeaway has actually lost...
