Customer praises delivery hero:
According to the post, the customer had ordered a simple meal at 8:34 pm, knowing it was New Year’s night and deliveries would be heavy. When the food arrived by 10 pm, he noticed that Bittu was tense, juggling around 30 more orders, yet still smiling.
“Even on the last day of the year, while most people are off, here we have a young man delivering with a smile,” the post said.
The customer offered Bittu a moment to breathe and some water. He then looked up his number on the app and sent him ₹501 via UPI as a token of appreciation, wishing him a happy New Year on WhatsApp.
Bittu’s reply touched him deeply, as he said the money would help fill fuel so he could continue delivering.
“Very very, thank you so much, sir, mujhe petrol ke liye paisa ho gaya,” Bittu replied.
“These riders are our heroes. They deserve everything because they make our lives easier. No job is small. Riders are an integral part of our daily lives,” the post adds.
