Olympic Athletes Have Nothing on China’s Lunch-Delivery Guys
In China, cheap labor and the advent of smartphone food-delivery apps have combined to transform office lunchtime culture. Meals appear with a few swipes on a smartphone, and customers get up to 30 deliveries for as little as $3 a month.
Young women smile and say the delivery men are better than boyfriends; unlike their male beaus, the Waimai Xiaoge always deliver.

The hidden cost here is environmental. Tons of plastic take-away containers, bags and utensils every day.
Katy and Lenny Berman
Splendid work ethic!

They drive like absolute maniacs.

Surely these young riders do other jobs when their customers are not eating lunch. May be going up and down the stairs for endurance training. May be true Olympic hopefuls, these riders.

These are the immigrants we want. They work hard and don't abuse drugs.

This is one element the Chinese have over A mericans. Their work ethic and ability puts us to shame. And they have many more wonderful abilities.
