Delivery Cancellation Chaos Sparks Controversy Over Delivery Workers' Food Posts

Last week, a system error at Coupang Eats led to a wave of canceled deliveries, right? It seems some posts uploaded by delivery workers along with photos of undelivered food have sparked a controversy.

Yes, it happened around midnight the day before yesterday (October 10). A system outage occurred on Coupang and Coupang Eats, lasting for about three hours.

Some delivery workers were unable to check customer addresses even after receiving the food, failing to complete their deliveries.

In such cases, delivery platforms instruct workers to dispose of the food themselves.

However, controversy arose afterward as some workers posted photos and comments eating the undelivered food, with remarks such as, "Thank you to whoever ordered assorted raw fish," and "I set up a feast with discarded food."

Netizens criticized the posts, saying, "Think about how frustrating it must have been for the customers who didn't get their food," and "Anyone can see those expressions are mocking."

On the other hand, some counterarguments emerged that since the food was destined for disposal anyway due to impossible delivery, it is difficult to take issue with the workers simply eating it.
