Delivery Riders Need Rest Too
xīnguó biāo国标xiàn zhì限制wài mài外卖qí shǒu骑手gōng zuò工作shízhǎngbìngyāo qiú要求qiáng zhì强制xiū xī休息

New national standards limit food delivery riders’ working hours and require mandatory breaks.

小宝
gē gē哥哥jīn tiān今天dewài mài外卖zěn me怎么lái de来得mànyahǎoè饿

Why is today’s food delivery so slow? I’m really hungry.

Maybe the delivery rider is taking a break. The new rules say they have to stop for twenty minutes after working continuously for four hours.

小宝
wèi shén me为什么yatā men他们bù xiǎng不想kuài diǎn快点sòngláima

Why is that? Don’t they want to deliver faster?

小刚
shìwèi le为了ān quán安全tā men他们tàilèihuìhěnwēi xiǎn危险jiùxiàngwǒ men我们zǒu lù走路lèileyàoxiū xī休息yī yàng一样

It’s for safety. If they get too tired, it can be dangerous—just like how we need to rest after walking for a long time.

小宝
ótā men他们měi tiān每天yàogōng zuò工作duō jiǔ多久

Oh, then how long do they work each day?

小刚

Usually no more than eight hours, and platforms aren’t allowed to force overtime through incentives.

小宝

I see. Then it’s okay if we wait a bit—let the delivery guy have a rest.

That’s right. Caring about others is also a small kind of kindness.
