"All purchases for 0 yuan are abandoned tea"

"There are still more than 200 cups that no one has taken"

"No one came to pick it up four or five hours ago."

"There are still many orders that haven't come to pick up after closing."

Yesterday, the "Crazy Saturday" in the tea and coffee industry was staged again. Amid the cheers of milk tea lovers and coffee stars, chain brands such as Ruixing, Xicha, Guming, Shanghai Aunt, and Mixue Ice City across the country were captured by a large number of free orders, and store employees frantically shook milk tea and made drinks from morning to night.

By 11:00 in the evening, the tea drinking carnival was gradually coming to an end, and the passenger flow in the stores that had been toppled by platform activities decreased. However, some customers and takeout riders who came to the store to pick up food found that dozens of sealed milk tea were still piled on the floor, shelves, and bar in the tea shop.

Faced with these drinks that have been "abandoned" in the store, most of the milk tea workers who have been busy all day are not surprised to it. According to them, since takeout platforms have launched 0 yuan purchase activities from time to time, when stores close, they can always see many unclaimed freshly made drinks left on the counter.

Some shop assistants said that they originally poured out all the overnight milk tea and destroyed it in accordance with the brand's management regulations. However, seeing that more and more drinks were being collected in the store, some employees couldn't bear it, so they risked violating the rules and secretly sent the drinks to takeout riders, sanitation workers, security guards, etc. who came to pick up the food, or hinted that customers who came to pick up the food can grab a few more cups at their convenience to reduce waste.

However, the stores basically close in the early morning, and there are too few passers-by on the streets. Some evening shift players said that even if they wanted to give their drinks away, they did not meet a suitable recipient. Therefore, before they left work, most of these uncollected tea drinks were still thrown into the trash. Some stores even scrap nearly a hundred cups of tea in one night, teasing that the hard-worked milk tea finally helped the little animals in the sewer.

When many onlookers saw photos and videos of abandoned drinks posted by passers-by, takeaways, store employees, etc. on social platforms, they couldn't help but be very dissatisfied with the cooking that users exchanged for free milk tea but did not claim it. They believed that such actions were not only a waste of food, but also added unnecessary work burden to riders, milk tea shop assistants and others, and bluntly said,"If you don't drink, don't order it."

In addition, many people have expressed some opinions on the large number of drinks discarded after each zero-yuan purchase event, and believe that merchants participating in the event may have some modifications, such as waiting for customers to arrive at the store and then making them on-site based on the order number. Standardize the sweetness and ice content of drinks, etc. They said that these measures could, on the one hand, reduce the workload of shop assistants to a certain extent, and may also dissuade some customers with picky tastes.

But in the final analysis, whether they are melon-eating people watching this takeout war or industry workers who are in deep straits, they all sincerely appeal to users who receive beverage redemption coupons distributed by the platform to think twice before placing orders. Place orders on demand based on your actual situation, and don't waste food.
