    Today I did a mistake while ordering food for me

    As I have to take food from outside today and unable to go out for lunch due to hectic work, I planned to order in swiggy. I am in Madurai now. By just seeing the name of the hotel I placed an order for mini lunch. After payment made, I saw from the map that I have ordered in a hotel which is just far away from my house. Though I know the route etc., I felt bad for such order as the carrying person have to travel a long distance that too in hottest sunlight. Till I saw the carrying person I felt bad and on seeing him really I told sorry to him. Really speaking I did not enjoyed the food by thinking the suffering of the carrying person.

    Generally, Swiggy may be charging money for transportation. If the distance is more. I think the charges will be more. If the person has to travel a long distance, he will be paid accordingly. That way your order made the person get some money. It is your good gesture which made you tell sorry to the delivery boy.
    When we open Swiggy for ordering food, the app will show us the restaurants nearby and the time it takes for delivery also. If it is a long distance you have to wait for a long time to get the food. That is why generally we look for the restaurants nearby and at the same time the food should be tasty also.
    You might have offered the delivery boy some water as he came in hot summer and you might have given him some tips also. These actions will make him feel that he got his due for the pain he took in travelling in the hot summer from a long distance.

    I think everyone should do their role. The delivery boy deserves to be paid for their labor, which is covered by the fee for your order. Therefore, you shouldn't overthink this issue. In this world, there are so many people who are unable to obtain even the basic necessity of food and are unable to feed themselves. While we may be unable to help them all, it is important to recognize the privilege we have and be grateful for it. While the delivery boy is able to work and earn his reward, many others are facing difficulties in getting enough food to survive.
    Service to mankind is service to God.

    These days ordering food from Swiggy and other apparatus has been convenient for our orders relating to foods we want to have our meal or dinner. However we need to ensure the location where we are ordering for our foods. Time will be directly proportional to the distance from where the order is placed so naturally, more the distance, more will be time in the delivery process.
    Considering the inconvenience for the delivery boy apart from putting ourselves in trouble, we have to see the nearby localities where there is the possibility of having good foods which could save both times and inconvenience of the delivery boy.
    I am relaxed to note that you were sorry for the inconvenience of the delivery having traversed such a long journey to effect the delivery. Under such condition, offering of cold water or some extra tips for the delivery could be a generous gesture.

    You seem to possess a kind and helpful heart. The swiggy employee will have inconvenience in supplying the food to you but it would fetch him proportionate money as per Swiggy rules and regulations.
    If you had ordered food from a nearby restaurant then it would had been convenient for both but in that case the employee might had earned less.

    Knowledge is power.
