Delivering takeout may have become an illusion. In the past week, I've seen

1. The manager of the neighboring takeout station said that his life philosophy is to avoid takeout, not to add delivery fees, and to wait for low prices even when hungry. He would rather go hungry than order takeout without a suitable coupon. One should not eat takeout every day and should learn to live healthily.

2. The local head of industry and commerce publicly stated that he wanted to raise funds to start a new project to support flexible entrepreneurs. After collecting the money, he turned his back and denied any connection, saying it was a project of the neighbor Wu Lao Er. He thought it was the same as the employment information usually released by the street office, didn't read it carefully before sharing, and now feels something is wrong and deleted it. As a result, a bunch of station managers got scammed, while most of the delivery workers were busy delivering Valentine's Day flowers and narrowly escaped a disaster.

3. The CEO of a rival platform, who used to always take a high-end approach, realized that others were getting huge orders with 'Pin Hao Fan' and wanted to join in but didn't know how. He suddenly put some unknown pre-made dishes directly on the homepage banner, resulting in many people placing orders only to find them too expensive, feeling like they were cheated and wanting to defend their rights. Then someone suggested that he gather everyone's opinions, and the CEO said he would announce his favorite takeout three hours later. People from all over the city were staring at their screens, not even eating. When the CEO announced it was 'Huang Men Ji', thousands of stores suddenly went online selling 'Huang Men Ji', leaving users confused about how to order.

4. A famous female delivery worker who used to deliver takeout has gone to an MCN company to do live streaming. When asked if she had left the takeout circle, she replied no, saying that the delivery fees are too low now, and she still has 100 electric bikes in stock.

The cost is that fewer and fewer people are ordering takeout, and I'm losing my mind.
