Racial profiling exists because it works and it it is derived from observable, empirical statistical truths.

Don't let the politically correct libtards convince you otherwise.

Over 1 in 3 GrabFood riders affected by PMD ban on footpaths – Mothership.SG

With the recent announcement that e-scooters will be banned from all footpaths starting Nov. 5, 2019, delivery riders who depend on the device are finding it a blow to their livelihood.

1 in 3 GrabFood delivery-partners depend on e-scooters

In response to Mothership’s queries, a Grab spokesperson said that Grab respects the decision by the Government to ban e-scooters on all footpaths due to safety.

The spokesperson also revealed that over one in three GrabFood delivery-partners rely on e-scooters to fulfil orders and earn an income.

“With the new direction, affected partners will have to consider other modes of transport, which may not be readily available to them,” said the spokesperson.

The spokesperson also said that Grab plans to engage the Government on possible a possible arrangement for delivery-partners who ride responsibly:


They added that GrabFood is committed to helping all affected partners and will be reaching out to them by the end of the week.
Grab also asked for understanding on the part of consumers:


Deliveroo promises not to work with riders who flout the law
Meanwhile, Deliveroo has made a public stand against riders who flout the rules.
In response to CNA’s queries, Deliveroo said:

According to CNA, Deliveroo had stopped taking in PMD delivery riders since May 2019.

Deliveroo also told CNA that it expects the ban to have minimal impact on its operations.

This echoes what Senior Minister of State Lam Pin Min said in Parliament, that less than 30 per cent of Deliveroo and FoodPanda riders use e-scooters.

Why can't people just get out of their fucking homes and buy their own food? This food delivery nonsense has gotten out of hand. This is sinkieland where 24-hr coffeeshops, 7-Eleven, Mr Teh Tarek, etc are everywhere.

I once mentioned a simple solution to the food delivery nonsense: impose a tax surcharge of $10 per food delivery.

That means if you order a packet of noodles that's priced at $3, you'll pay $13 plus whatever delivery charges Grabfood or FoodPanda etc impose on you.

Unless you're ordering for a large group of people at a party, you'll get your lazy butts outdoors to buy food.

Sometimes the food in your town is crap, you have to go elsewhere to buy the tasty food.

A hefty surcharge would be a good deterrent. But then, demand would drop and the food delivery people won't get enough business. BTW, how much do they charge now? I have never used them before. Like you, I go out and get my own food when I need to.
