In the past two days, the "war between beauty and hunger" in the takeout industry has allowed a large number of consumers to receive tea redemption vouchers subsidized by the platform. As a result, many people have a cup of cool and free milk tea on this hot summer day. Of course, this white-hot takeout war has also prompted chain tea stores to explode orders. Social platforms can be seen everywhere with the work of busy tea drinkers and images of milk tea shops surrounded by takeout riders.

However, a passer-by passing by the Mixue Ice City store noticed a carton placed in front of the store. When he came closer, he found that the carton was filled with prepared lemonade, milk tea, fruit tea, etc. Only after some understanding did I realize that the carton was full of drinks that customers had placed their own orders but had not come to the store to pick up.

Seeing that the drinks that the shop assistant had worked hard to make were discarded in the carton because no one claimed them, the netizens who filmed the scene couldn't help but sigh,"Oh my God, what a waste" and bluntly said,"You can't waste free food."

After the post was posted, many people had similar sentiments to the poster, thinking that it would be too wasteful to directly discard the prepared drinks. But at the same time, they are also confused by the consumption behavior of users and do not understand why people who choose to take their own orders do not go to the store to collect drinks.

Regarding this question, many customers who choose to take their own orders have their own opinions. Some people explained that when they arrived at the store, they found that the counter was piled with prepared tea drinks, but they searched in the pickup area for a long time but couldn't find the cup they had ordered. After feedback from the clerk, I learned that I would have to wait more than half an hour to get the drinks. Therefore, some people who could not wait turned around and left, decisively giving up the free cup of milk tea.

Others said that they had received too many drink coupons distributed by them on platforms, and one person could not finish them all, so they placed a self-collection order and noted that the prepared drinks would be given to the hard-working takeout riders or shop assistants. But perhaps the pick-up site was too chaotic, and neither the delivery staff nor the milk tea maker noticed the remarks on the order, so that the drinks were left in the pick-up area and no one picked them up.

However, although customers who placed a self-collection order but did not come to the store to collect them were helpless, it did lead to many drinks being abandoned. Some milk tea shop assistants said that in the past two days, too many unsought drinks would be left in the dining area when the store closed. According to store regulations, these unclaimed milk tea would eventually only be used as material loss and thrown into the trash for destruction.

As for the onlookers 'suggestion of giving it to sanitation workers or passers-by, the shop assistants successively said that they could not transfer customers' orders to others without authorization. Moreover, the weather is hot now, and the freshly made drinks are left for too long, which may cause food deterioration. Therefore, they dare not give them to passers-by or sanitation workers at will to avoid causing food safety accidents.

However, in order to avoid waste of materials, some tea workers said that they would select the self-collection order and wait until the customer arrives at the store before starting making it. Some stores that are too busy allow consumers who cannot wait to come to the store to pick up drinks with receipts within the specified time, which not only reduces the workload of the clerk, but also provides users with a better experience in the store.
