Recently, pictures posted on the Internet show that a knight in the same city in Shanghai actually earned 10,067.75 yuan on April 9.
After the public opinion fermented, the employer, SF Express, responded to this by saying that after back-office inquiry, it was confirmed that the same-city knight completed a total of 60 intra-city delivery orders, which were placed by corporate users, and the total amount of order commission accrued was 10,067.75 yuan.
Among them, the basic commission is 534 yuan, the various special rewards are about 1678 yuan, and the user reward is about 7856 yuan.
That is to say, the rider's average income is about 36.9 yuan per order excluding rewards, and the average reward is about 131 yuan per order.
"Over 10,000 income a day" is the dream of many people, but when this happened to the courier brother, it not only surprised many people who didn't know the situation in Shanghai, but also caused some netizens to question aggressively.
In fact, as many more empathetic netizens have said, under the special background of Shanghai's lockdown, control and epidemic prevention, the riders seem to have unbelievable "high income". Legal labor income should not be viewed maliciously with tinted glasses.
First, such incomes are the result of the spontaneous adjustment of market mechanisms under specific circumstances.
According to media reports, during the lockdown in Shanghai, the number of riders with a pass was already limited, and most residents were unable to go out. Therefore, the needs for shopping and intra-city delivery could only be fulfilled by riders on the platform.
Therefore, in the case of serious asymmetry between demand and supply, the "price" of services will naturally rise, which is the most basic economic common sense.
Secondly, in the stage of epidemic prevention and control, riders who still take risks and stick to their posts are also an important part of the city's supply guarantee system. Their social value at special moments is significantly enlarged, so they get more service "premium", which is also a manifestation of social fairness .
The society's surprise and doubts about the "daily income of more than 10,000" riders mainly refer to their usual income standards.
In the eyes of many people, the "monthly income of more than 10,000 yuan" is quite impressive, and the "daily income of more than 10,000 yuan" is obviously too exaggerated.
However, under the special circumstances of lockdown and epidemic prevention, the normal market supply and demand balance has been broken. It is obviously unfair to measure the income of riders with the "normal".
It should be seen that this rider ran 60 orders a day, and the basic commission was only 534 yuan. The vast majority of the "daily income of 10,000 yuan" depended on special rewards and rewards, and he earned nothing without compromise. "hard-earned money".
Under the special circumstances of epidemic prevention, the life of the riders is not easy.
Some riders brew bowls of instant noodles to satisfy their hunger wherever there is hot water; some do not even have a fixed place to live, and they are home every night.
How many people only see their accidental "daily income exceeding 10,000" and ignore the unimaginable difficulty and effort behind this income?
At the same time, the income structure of the riders also reflects that during the lockdown and epidemic prevention, many people had to pay much higher costs than before in order to meet their living needs.
In the face of special times, rather than paying attention to whether individual riders should earn more than 10,000 a day, what is more worth thinking about is how to ensure the normal operation of the urban supply system during the prevention and control period, and how to minimize the cost of people's normal life. .
In the past few years of epidemic prevention and control, the roles played by couriers, takeaway brothers and other groups at critical moments are obvious to all.
After the epidemic occurred in almost every place, some people always called them "the most beautiful retrogrades".
However, if the society's affirmation and praise of the riders are only reflected in the honor and spirit level, it is undoubtedly pale and empty.
It is not only when they need service that they think of the importance and value of riders, and truly give this profession the understanding and respect it deserves. Perhaps under the situation of out-of-proportion, "daily income of 10,000 yuan" will make them feel more at ease and satisfied.
