What did X users say about this video of a Swiggy delivery agent?
{{/usCountry}}“These people really need your respect. If he gets late for 5 min, don't scold him; he is also a human being. Thanks,” urged an X user. Another added, “Always tipping them whatever discount I get from orders. Plus, 20 as a tip is automated in my orders. I have seen many times that riders get 30-40 rupees for delivery. Makes me guilty for some reason.”

A third expressed, “I always tip delivery workers ₹30-40 for their service. It's the least we can do, along with offering them water. Also, never bargain with street vendors; they hardly earn huge profits. Rather than donating money at the temple every Tuesday -I go to the temple every Tuesday - I prefer distributing 15 packets of biscuits to those in need around the area.” A fourth wrote, “This is very heartbreaking.”
A similar video of a Zomato delivery agent earlier left people sad and angry. It showed him trying to spot a customer who ordered food while stuck in traffic amid heavy rain.
While social media users applauded the delivery man, they slammed the customer for ordering food amid downpour.
