Chapter 416: Accept your fate
Bai Lin has to drink five or six bottles of chilled mineral water every day, and he can drink one bottle at a time, not all because of thirst, but if he doesn't drink it and buy it again, the water will not be roasted by the sun for a long time in the car, and it will not quench his thirst when he drinks it, and it is almost the same as not drinking it in one go.
After running for the first week of July, he was obviously darkened with fine skin and tender flesh, and his skin would feel hot and sore every day when he went home and took a shower.
Seeing this, his girlfriend said that he might have a sunburn, and half-threatened to warn: "If you continue to be so dark, I won't want you." ”
In order to keep his love and complexion, Bai Lin had to pay extra money to buy a set of sunscreen products, but after applying it, it had little effect.
Later, I bought a sunscreen suit, and the sun exposure was slightly better, but after wearing it, I sweated more because it was not breathable.
At the end of July, his income exceeded 7,000, and finally saw the threshold of "10,000 yuan", Bai Lin felt a surge of hope in his heart, and he decided to add a set of batteries to the car, and strive to complete his dream in the small tail of summer.
However, an incident happened not long after, which not only put his plan to recharge the battery on hold, but also caused me to lose confidence in the platform.
First of all, Bai Lin finally made up his mind, spent 800 yuan to add an extra set of batteries to himself, because the original battery room was full, can only be installed in the pedal position, the repair shop welded a steel frame for his car, and added a lock outside, saying that if there is no socket position downstairs, it can also be removed and brought upstairs to charge, but it was only used for less than a week, that day he sent food to a relatively old community, and after sending it down, he found that the entire frame was demolished, and the new battery of 800 yuan disappeared, so that Bai Lin wanted to cry without tears。
In order to make up for the loss, Bai Lin endured his girlfriend's complaints, and worked hard to increase the workload, that day he took 3 orders in one go, after delivering the second order, he suddenly found that the third meal was not stable, and it fell down, this is a rice + stew, the broth in it overflowed, filled with plastic bags, and some of them flowed into his incubator.
In this case, it is impossible to send it again.
Bai Lin's first reaction was to call and explain to the customer, but no one answered, so I sent him a message to explain the reason, and then returned to the merchant and asked them to help change it.
The short and fat cook glanced at the paper bag in his hand, a little impatient, Bai Lin hurriedly added: "The new money is mine, and I will pay it." ”
"No, who's going to go into the kitchen on a hot day? ”
The fat chef may have been moved by Bai Lin's enthusiasm, took the bag in his hand, and after reading the list of dishes on the takeaway list, he looked around the hall, and finally stopped at a table where the guests had just left.
He untied the bag, took out a few intact boxes, wiped them clean with a napkin on the table, and poured back the soup that had already overflowed.
But a lot of the soup had been missed, and the rest was only half filled with the packing box, and the fat chef reached out and picked up a soup bowl from the table—which was the soup left over from the guests' meals, exactly the same as the one that leaked—poured the soup in the bowl into the packing box, picked up a chopstick on the table and stirred it, sprinkled it with crushed peanuts and sesame oil again, replaced it with a plastic bag, packed it properly, and handed it to Bai Lin.
Bai Lin looked at the plastic bag handed over, and felt a surge in his stomach: "Why don't you change it, I'll take care of the money." ”
He threw the bag on the table: "What's so particular, brainless, isn't it good to save you money?"
Bai Lin looked at his face full of meat, and didn't say anything more after all.
In fact, there are a lot of these restaurants doing this on weekdays, he has seen the small façade next to the garbage station and the toilet in a public place, and the sanitary situation is very worrying, but Bai Lin can't do anything, he can only turn a blind eye, and mourn in silence for the people who ordered these takeaways in his heart, and at the same time he and his girlfriend try to restrain themselves, if they can't order takeout, they don't order, and would rather eat instant noodles at home.
But this time it's a "redeemed" soup after all, what if the user drinks it?
There are less than 10 minutes left for the food delivery time by this toss, Bai Lin galloped forward in a nervous mood, and when he turned at an intersection, an electric car in the wrong direction suddenly came out in front of him, he was shocked, and finally had the first accident since entering the industry.
There was a man and a woman sitting in the car, the driver was a man, this person was driving extremely fast, Bai Lin slammed the dragon head in order to dodge, and his feet also tried to kick the ground, the body lost balance, and suddenly the person turned on his back.
Fortunately, Bai Lin was tall, and in order to keep the food in the car, he tried to keep the car from falling, and one of his legs knelt on the ground to support him.
It was noon, and the ground was hot, and the knees of his trousers were rubbed to tatters, and his skin was pressed against the ground, and he felt the burning pain of the fire in a moment.
The two were obviously frightened, and looked at me with their mouths open in the car, and only after a while did the girl ask, "Are you okay?" ”
I was very angry, but I didn't have time to reason with her, so I quickly pulled my leg out from under the car, and my knee was rubbed with skin, and I was cut by the stone with several fine wounds, and the blood flowed.
By the time I struggled to get to my feet, the man and woman were nowhere to be seen.
Bai Lin finally delivered this meal late, and after the user got it, he glanced at his tattered pants, and didn't say anything, Bai Lin limped to the pharmacy on the side of the road to buy iodine wine gauze, went home to clean it, and bandaged it.
At night, his girlfriend saw his leg injury and hurriedly asked what was going on, Bai Lin told her one by one, and she seemed very annoyed.
"How can there be such a person, who runs away after hitting someone!"
"Actually, it's not a hit, I didn't touch anyone, I just overturned the car myself to avoid them. Bai Lin said stupidly.
The girlfriend still kept scolding the two of them for being unreliable and immoral, and then she asked Bai Lin to rest at home, Bai Lin said that it was okay, and he could go out in two days and continue to do it.
She pouted: "The injury in other places is about the same in two days, and in this place of the knee, you can't bend your leg after the scab, and you still want to go out to run takeaways?"
My girlfriend was right, in the next week, Bai Lin's wound was covered with a thick layer of blood scabs, not to mention walking, it would crack if he moved a little more on the bed.
After lying for nearly half a month, the blood scab slowly fell off, and during this time, looking at the list on the APP every day, he was in a hurry, and he felt like he had lost 100 million.
However, these are all trivial things, and what makes him even more angry is the attitude of the platform.
Bai Lin would buy a 2 yuan insurance policy every day before he started to deliver the bill, although he missed the injury, but he was not hospitalized, and he did not have high medical expenses, so he didn't want to worry about dozens of yuan of medicine money.
A few days later, Bai Lin saw that the last order was still deducted because of "delivery delay", although he knew that this was doing things according to the rules, but he was still aggrieved, so he chose to "appeal".
But his complaint was quickly rejected by the platform, so I called the platform's customer service number for the first time.
This is probably the slowest customer service call he has ever encountered, in the 2-minute prompt, the cold female voice has been trying to persuade me to feedback the problem to the artificial robot to solve, it took about 10 minutes, to wait for a live customer service.
Bai Lin held back his anger and asked her, can't the delay caused by the accident last week be handled at his discretion? The customer service lady opposite rejected him very politely after inquiring.
"The guests can be considerate of us, there are no complaints, why do you have to deduct money at will?"
"I'm sorry, we just follow the rules, and please understand. ”
"Okay, then I had an accident on the way to deliver food, should I be reimbursed for lost work expenses and medical expenses? I bought your 2 yuan a day insurance. ”
The other side began to stand up, and at one time they said that they wanted Bai Lin to go to the labor bureau to issue a work-related injury certificate, and asked him to go to the surveillance video of the place where the accident occurred; and at another time, they said that they could not be the masters and needed to consult the leaders. The attitude is the same as the previous firmness.
The kind of bloody scene in the TV series finally played out on me, Bai Lin suppressed her anger and told her: "Then you go to your leader, I'll tell him!"
It's a pity that Bai Lin didn't wait for the call of the so-called "leader" in the end, and I don't know if the customer service forgot or didn't tell the leader of the platform at all.
Later, Bai Lin called the customer service twice, each time he waited longer than the other, and the customer service he answered each time was not the same person, he needed to tell the matter again from the beginning, but he got the same reply: "Wait a minute, I will explain your situation to our person in charge." ”
Bai Lin finally felt helpless and didn't want to waste any more time, and in the last phone call, he said to the customer service: "You tell your leaders, if you feel that you are not capable of fulfilling your obligations, then don't abuse the right to fine!"
By the time I could get out of bed and walk, August was already over.
At the beginning of September, the high temperature was still there, but the unit price suddenly fell again, and the high temperature subsidy became less and less day by day, and gradually returned to the point where it could be ignored. There are still complaints in the "rider group" every day, and some "big guys" broke the news to everyone: the platform is ready to push most of the orders to the exclusive delivery, and they are not ready to manage crowdsourcing.
Someone immediately jumped out and retorted: "I just ran a special delivery, and the list is not as much as crowdsourcing!"
In the midst of all the opinions, Bai Lin is like seeing flowers in the fog, and he can't tell who is true and who is false.
Bai Lin felt that he couldn't do it anymore, and someone in the group came to recruit workers, it was a nearby electronics factory, making parts for the terminal equipment of Company X, and he wanted assembly line workers, with a monthly salary of 5,000, including food and housing. Some people asked, but few really wanted to go.
In the end, the recruiter said: "Actually, I didn't think that I could recruit people here, and the people who run crowdsourcing don't want to be controlled and want to make money, how can there be such a good thing?"
Bai Lin felt cold in his heart, so he could only continue to continue the great cause of delivering takeaways, holding on, eating and waiting for death, but fortunately, the platform also found that no one took orders in remote and old communities, so he increased the commission for these positions, Bai Lin took it hard, but he didn't expect to meet an old acquaintance here.
