As the take-out war becomes more and more popular, consumers can encounter no-threshold coupons issued by major platforms every few days. At the same time, the migrant workers responsible for the production also welcome explosive orders without warning.

For example, yesterday, Meituan issued a wave of large-amount takeout coupons for wedding tea that can be instantly expanded to "18-18". After the discount, a drink that usually costs more than 20 yuan to get it. If you add other red envelopes, you will be rounded off for free. After learning the news, hard-working netizens naturally couldn't let go of this benefit.

Adhering to the principle that "if you don't gather wool, you will lose money", the issuance of the "18-18" magic coupons directly prompted a large group of netizens to place orders passionately. Faced with this good news, in addition to grabbing coupons for yourself without delay, we also had to inform acquaintances around us non-stop that they were thinking about afternoon tea just after breakfast time. Some people even ordered all nearby stores in one go, just to drink everything they wanted in one go.

However, many netizens placed an order and thought that the milk tea would be delivered quickly. Unexpectedly, after waiting for an hour or so, they discovered that the store had not served the meal yet, and there was no rider delivering it. The platform also showed a "timeout" status. Seeing that two hours were about to pass, no one responded to contacting the merchant. For a while, they didn't know whether to go or stay.

It wasn't until they finished posting and asking that everyone learned that it wasn't just themselves who had encountered a "stuck meal" situation. Wedding teas in many places across the country were facing a serious explosion in orders. There were countless online orders that were not delivered and had long timeouts. Lucky ones could wait an hour to drink it smoothly, while unlucky ones would take two or three minutes to start. Some even waited 5 hours, but the takeout platform still showed "meal preparation."

According to netizens familiar with the matter, some stores had too much time to prepare various materials due to the surge in orders in a short period of time, and the staff on duty that day were also too busy. In the end, they had to "close the store" first until the milk tea in front of them was served out and then reopen for business.

Corresponding to customers complaining about their delayed delivery of orders, on the other hand, there is a breach of defense from migrant workers:

It started to open at 10 o'clock, and takeout reached the 80th at 10:05. Although the effort in my hands had not stopped for a moment, the number of drinks waiting to be served was not only one cup, but also increased as time went by. There were 300 orders, more than 600 orders, and there were even more than 1,600 orders... Faced with endless orders, the workers worked around the clock between the kitchen and the bar, not to mention eating on time, they didn't even have time to drink water.

During the explosion period, in addition to responding to riders and customers who came to pick up meals, migrant workers found the right drink amid the urging, and reminders from the machine kept ringing in their ears,"Meituan Takeout ** The reservation order is almost up ~ Please pay attention to stock the goods ~ If the receipt is lost, please print it again"... In the words of Xicha's own employees,"I finally understand why the rooster screams when he gets up early, and a rotten life just opens its eyes. "

After a busy day, I finally got a chance to breathe, but the working workers still didn't show any excitement because they knew that after the "May 18th", there would be new products on the shelves and "buy one get one free" activities, this milk tea bar, you can't finish shaking it, you can't finish shaking it at all.
