What an Uber Eats delivery driver thought after watching the fight between Yuji Mizoguchi and the Aojiru Prince

When you work as a delivery driver, you often encounter strange phenomena.

"I'm on team XX." "No, I'm on team YY."

Even though the people involved aren't actually punching each other, everyone around them ends up covered in blood.

The recent commotion between Yuji Mizoguchi and the Aojiru Prince is exactly like that.

Open X and you see theories. Open YouTube and you see exposés. Open the comment section and you see, "Show me the proof," "No, you show me."

But from a delivery driver's perspective, this scene is nothing but déjà vu.

The cause is "the delivery is late."

Customer: "It's the restaurant's fault." Restaurant: "It's Uber's fault." Uber: "Please ask the delivery driver." Driver: "Wait, the food isn't even ready yet..."

No one ever admits they are at fault.

Before you know it, only the order number is getting cold.

Social media is the same.

It should have started as a conversation between the parties involved, but before you know it, the bystanders increase, the theory-crafting YouTubers increase, the clip-makers increase, and only the impressions get delivered.

In Uber terms, this is a situation where the address is unknown, but everyone is blaming the GPS.

Moreover, there is no food on social media.

All that's there is emotion.

That's why the delivery never gets completed.

Just when it looks like one order is finished, a new exposé, a new recording, or a new screenshot is added as a new order.

It's just like a double order.

Delivery drivers know.

The people who are truly in a hurry don't engage in unnecessary back-and-forth.

Their chat messages are just one sentence.

"Please leave it at the front door."

That's all it takes.

Conversely, the longer the message, the more troublesome the delivery usually is.

Social media fights are similar.

The longer the text gets, the more third parties start enjoying the intensity rather than the content.

And before you know it, no one remembers the original point of contention.

But there is one thing I envy about them.

Their online arguments get millions of views.

Even when I ask at a restaurant, "Is it going to be another 5 minutes?", my view count is zero.

Instead, I just get told by the staff, "Please wait a moment," and that's the end of it.

In the end, social media and food delivery are the same.

The ones who profit the most aren't the people who ordered or the people who delivered.

It's often the people who watch the situation and turn it into content.
