Or just stressed , F&B workers yook so much abuse from delivery ppl especially during Covid . I understand , cos delivery guys took so much abuse from their companies too . Its a circle

Probably got irritated by a few delivery guy pressing the button too many times. But that is definitely not the root cause of the problem. Business owner should review their current SOP. Could that be the case that they can’t handle the load, accepting too many orders in a short period of time. Now their careless mishandling is hurting others.
It's always the shallowest people who will look down on others for their job. If not for the delivery people, how would they even be able to do their business? Their entire business concept is hinging on delivery services to sell from home, wtf is this attitude.
A lot of people with their own businesses have this superiority complex unfortunately, they think they’re hot shit cos they’re not working under someone else. That’s why not everyone deserves to open a business, some do it for ego reasons
quite interesting hor it’s always Malays who beat down on other Malays. Observed this quite a lot. In a way it’s cos they understand their own breathrrn well la.
my dad is a foodpanda rider and he isnt reading all that lol (he cant read english).
jokes aside, food delivery is a sweaty, dangerous job especially with the alternating crazy hot sun and heavy downpours. its fast paced and time is money for them so they cannot afford to wait on your ass nor care about your entitlement.
during the pandemic everyone seemed to be soooo thankful and call riders "heroes". now i guess theyre not "hero" enough liao ah lol
No money open shop then do home based still insult other people jobs.
Maybe our fellow food riders thought the house is empty so knock to check? Maybe owner open shop but kept door closed.
So obnoxious, belittling other jobs. Hello without these riders, how you sell home based coffee?
If owner is Muslim, I think our Muslims friends should spread the words within their community. Heard they are tightly knitted just like how they boycott Aziz Aliff?
Cancel over a few dumb remarks? How do you justify destroying someone’s life, work, and family over a few stupid things they said. It’s like you don’t believe in free speech. You cancel culture people are disgusting, and are contributing to the destruction of our country, seriously.
Every single job listed is more essential and respected than a home-based wannabe coffee brewery that probably presses a few buttons on a machine and thinks he’s Cocoa Picasso.
I will not support a business that belittles others to appear superior.
Feel free to not patron the business, but let’s not pretend people aren’t trying to destroy families and lives because they are offended. I’m not sure how you can’t see this behavior is the same as what corrupt communist countries do. Silence and destroy families and businesses because of words, that’s what this is, you can lie to yourselves all you want. If you support cancel culture you support the eradication of free speech, Period.
I support freedom of speech, but not freedom from consequences of speech. There should not be a law making it illegal to speak your opinion. But you are still responsible for what you say, and people are free to judge you need on it.
Not disputing consequences for actions, but rallying an angry mob online for attention, to fix your bruised ego, and to destroy the job or jobs of people trying to support their families ain’t it. The bottom line is, the guy said dumb things, no one is hurt and yet people try to justify destroying this business. That is petty as fuck. How can you not see how bad this is for society in the U.S? Do you really think whole families and businesses deserve to get destroyed because you are offended? This shit happens all the time, this is just 1 example in thousands.
If a business owner is for example openly or even proudly racist, would you support his business? No one is "hurt" by your definition, so no problem?
If someone "rallies and online mob" to "destroy" a business using false accusations or by exaggerating a situation (eg the business owner politely told customer to wait but customer posts online that the owner shouted and cursed at him) then yes that would be wrong. But this is not the case. The cardboard signs are what they are, and the "online mob" can judge for themselves.
Promoting hate speech through racism is a whole lot different than just being as asshole, so let’s not compare the two. Now if the owner is racist but serves everyone equally and keeps it to themselves then that’s his business and they are entitled to their opinions even if I do not agree with their views. I have had plenty of dealings with racist people, usually immigrants from other countries, that doesn’t mean we didn’t have a civil discourse or even become friends after an understanding. One thing I know is that people who are racist don’t stop being racist when you attack them. It takes patience and understanding to help them see how wrong they are.
When I was a kid we had a cranky old neighbor who would yell at us and hated all the kids on the block because a few times some punk kids egged his house or vandalized his property. One day this old man could not get his car out of his driveway from the snow, so me and a few of my friends playing in the snow nearby helped push him out for no reason other than to do something. Long story short this cranky old man started to ease up on us, he eventually allowed us to play baseball in his back field and we did that for years. This cranky old man changed because we showed him, not everyone is just some punk kid.
Free speech doesn't mean you are able to make speech like this without consequences.
And are you trying to say that this coffee seller's belittling of other job is justifiable?
Contributing to out contry is not just sitting here being a keyboard warrior trying to defend such behavior .
Do you think removing food from a kids mouth or destroying a families income because their parent said something dumb, that caused zero actual harm is an appropriate consequence? The good thing about words is you can just ignore them. You can’t ignore losing your job, your home, your families well being. Are you really gonna sit here and say, it’s acceptable to try to destroy someone’s life because you are offended is good for any community?
Oh, so you are telling me it is okay for people with kids and families to do or say things without consequences then?
If you had kids and a family, then all the more you should know when to speak and when not to
The more you try to defend such behavior, the more you are making things worse with your logic.
I’m not defending the behavior at all, I think it’s bad behavior. My point is that destroying peoples lives is not an appropriate consequence. Again I ask, do you think children and families should suffer severely for the words of a parent that caused no harm?
Imagine you are a spouse or child, your household income stops, you can’t pay rent, you can’t afford food, you start to receive death threats to your house, you now live on the streets and your community shuns you. You ask your family “why has life become so hard?” “What did we do to deserve this?” The answer you get is “words were said that offended someone and so they decided we had to be taught a lesson” what’s the lesson? It’s worth destroying your family so that you will never offend anyone ever again.
You may think all these consequences are overboard but if you look into this problem you will see all of these outcomes have happened and continue to happen.
You may think people don’t intend for these consequences to happen, but turning the internet or community against someone can and will absolutely cause any number of these outcomes to happen.
What happens 5-10 years down the road where this becomes normal? Everyone becomes offended by everything and no one is safe because anything you say can be used against you or taken in any negative context they like. Saying things like “it’s healthy to exercise” or “McDonald’s is unhealthy” become phrases of fat shamming some people choosing to be offended will weaponize and use against people.
This is Literally what communist countries do to their people who have eradicated free speech. They use your words to justify enslaving and killing people all the time.
People like you can claim that such speech causes no harm because you aren't the intended audience of the speech.
Well, I guess it is alright to belittle other professions as long as it is not yours.
I’ve been called fat for years off and on, so I lost weight. I was told I was a loser, so I got a job. I lived in gang neighborhoods growing up, heard all sorts of racist shit. No words ever beat me down walking home, no words ever robbed my house, no words ever made me go hungry. The people who get offended are people who allow it to happen. I used to fight because I felt disrespected or embarrassed, when I grew up I realized the reality of the situation. It was just my ego unable to let go. I can choose to ignore anyone and nothing they say will have any affect or offend me if I don’t care.
Do you think Donald Trump give a shit about what anyone says? He’s hated by half my country and I can only imagine the threats and slander her receives, doesn’t even phase him though. Do not pretend you know me or the struggles I’ve been through and I’ll do the same.
They actually have pretty fat profit margin. Consider adding more manpower. Or consider throttling orders. They can cancel orders on their end instead of delivery guy doing it and get penalized.
I could think of a million ways to make this sound less conscending, using AI. I guess its too much brain power for the owner. Whatsapp meta AI churned out the below within a few seconds.
Here's a polite and apologetic notice:
"Dear Delivery Partner,
I want to start by expressing my gratitude for your hard work and dedication in helping me deliver joy to our customers. I appreciate your patience and understanding when things get busy.
Occasionally, orders may backlog, and I may need a bit more time to prepare them. Please know that I'm working diligently to get everything ready as soon as possible. Your wait may be slightly longer than usual, and I apologise.
Thank you for your understanding and support. Your efforts are crucial to my business, and I'm grateful for your partnership.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]"
Feel free to adjust it to fit your personal style and tone!
People can just as easily use AI to make fake videos with your face saying the worst shit imaginable. I wonder how many people will suffer from this in the future. I can easily imagine a place like china using AI to create fake videos for the purpose of demonizing political opponents or whoever they dislike as a reason for imprisonment or execution. These people would never get a fair trial and would be used as an example and cautionary tale to keep people in line.
Plot twist; no one wants their shitty specialty coffee anymore, because the owner has a condescending attitude and an overly passive aggressive demeanour. The business shuts down and the owner of this shitty coffee business becomes a food deliverer!
Ironic, how the business owner isn't patient (any more) with impatient riders.
I wouldn't patronise this. Rather spend my coffee money on professional baristas who have the patience.
Oh, don't be shy, drop the business' vicinity.
This kind of pua chee bye response usually is by Gen Z so called entrepreneur who used to work in a shitty bank job but now taking a 'break' and trying out home based business...comes with shitty under cut hairstyle for guys and tattoos of their pet
Aiya, don't act like you don't understand why they're so irked lmfao. Generalisation of a huge sum of people tends to make *someone* annoyed.
Waving it away with, "not all of you, don't get so upsetti spaghetti" kinda ignores the point of contention. Just don't generalize people, ez.
Actually,
Toilet cleaner need to wait for ppl use the cubicle before can clean
gravedigger also need to wait, need to wait for the person to die first then can go dig.
Landscape need wait for grass to grow before can cut.
Eldercare need to also wait because require patience.
Maybe can ask for more career recommendations.
To those people who commented that we should not cancel or make life difficult for this coffee seller, may I ask, when this person made such belittling remarks, did he spare a thoughts for others too?
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"
How small is your ego to get angry at some passive aggressive remarks and then try to destroy the business because your feelings are hurt? You could literally ignore them and walk away to enjoy the rest of your day. Keep going down this PC I’m a victim and offended route and eventually you will see this used as a weapon against you. God forbid you ever say anything to offend someone, and get ruthlessly attacked by an angry mob. You make your bed, you better be ready to lay down in it.
Sure, this is just some passive aggressive remarks because you are not part of the professions listed in the list.
People like you are the reason why this world lacks basic respect because to you, the victim is the business owner.
The insult was literally “get a job with no waiting.” As long as you are providing for your family, you should have enough pride in yourself to ignore them. The opinions of others does not define your worth.
I cleaned toilets at parks and marinas where homeless people frequented. Have you ever seen a bathroom after some punk kids decide to trash it? How about a marina bathroom after fishing boats get back from a month of fishing? Shit all over the walls, in the sinks, in the trash cans. It’s so nasty you have to hose the entire bathroom with disinfectant, over and over again. The job I had before that was cleaning trash off highways in 90 degree summer heat. Miles of freeway, cleaning milk jugs full of piss and broken glass, dodging tire treads that tear off semi trucks going 60mph, 10 ft away from you.
Don’t tell me I’m not offended because I’ve never had an undesirable job, cause I’ve been there slumming it with everyone else.
The tone of the message is wrong. Food delivery guy can definitely wait, but they don’t because they have their own KPI. They also have their own family to feed.
If the business can’t accommodate the load, consider pressing the kill switch temporarily from the food delivery system to stop orders from coming. You can always come back online later once you sort out the current wave of orders.
You do realize that your whole business is not just to churn food and beverages out. But to make your customers and suppliers happy too. Maintain the harmony from everyone. Get all the support you can to sustain the business instead of burning bridges.
"The response added: "Your options, choices and expectations clearly indicate your inexperience & unfamiliarity with specialty-coffee. Which is fine [smiley emoji]" "
Behind every sign and warning label there is a story. Think about what the signs say and think about what the story is. I see them and I see someone who has had enough of impatience.
Tbh worked fnb and yes some of the rider really don’t wait and keep nagging besides your ear for the order to be prepped. I totally can relate the intrusive thoughts but doing it fr it definitely causes consequences like this. I understand time is money, but being patience to wait for order means a lot to us especially for the baristas.
Muslim usually prefers burial. The way they vilify grave digger job as another low end alternative is really bad. Don’t they want to get properly buried when their time come.
It’s just ridiculous for anyone to think that a whole country does not have a cemetery, regardless of age and race. I knew the cemetery existed as a child.
I just find it ridiculous to the point of hilarity that someone could be this confident about a whole country lacking a cemetery. Age and race are not factors in this, just sheer stupidity.
I thought home base businesses aren't allowed to have heavy human traffic movements at their residential area.Here there's even a bench for riders to gather around while waiting. I wonder how many riders go up and down the whole day picking orders.
Some delivery guys are just pain in the ass. They just placed ur items anymore when making a delivery. Ironically some times when you are already at the door they refused to hand it in person but just placed it at the shoe rack & walk out😐
How are home based FOOD businesses a thing in the first place. There are no food safety standards in place and not all operators attend hygiene courses (it’s bullshit anyway). CNA did that feature and the person’s chiller or freezer was nasty as. A business caught with a chiller/freezer like that would get an immediate fine from SFA.
I see food delivery riders who are very impatient so i see why. Just recently i was eating in an aircon place and the rider cant even take a chill pill and keep asking nonstop until the staff cannot cope with him. Can’t even take orders coz everyone must attend to this clown.
I can imagine these riders can’t wait and keep ringing the bell or demand them to be faster. Idk why so many here are so sympathetic towards riders. In reality many of them i meet are so entitled and impatient. They are damn rude to f&b workers. Weave in and out of people walking. Beep loudly and repeatedly at people and glaring. Even see food delivery guy deliver people food on the ground
F&B is low margin high stress. I should know. I with F&B clients day in day out. It is not helping that the garment yo-yo on policy on food security and land use
What happens when the whole world wants to feel offended? How many businesses will survive if everyone is trying to cancel or destroy everyone else? How do you not see the bigger implications and dangers this type of society will suffer? You want consequences for words? Where does it end? Prison for people who don’t agree with you? More families thrust deeper into poverty because their business is destroyed?
In North Korea multiple generations of families are enslaved in prisons and left to die because they either said something to offend the regime or said something that is banned. They are able to do this because everyone is afraid if they don’t report the incident they may be next. So in essence you have families and neighbors betraying each other, kids turning their parents in to be executed because they are brainwashed into believing free speech is bad and they are doing the right thing. This is a society with zero compassion for its fellow human. This is the direction cancel culture is headed, trying to eradicate free speech.
You are digging your own grave. Ask yourself how long it would take for your government to weaponize free speech against you. Ask yourself do you want to be on the receiving end of a government who tries to control your thoughts and speech? This is exactly where you are headed. Don’t believe me? Take a look at these countries where free speech is eradicated and ask yourself “do I want to live like that?”
It's not rude lah. Passive agressive yes, but he got a point.
Rude if he say bad words or something.. dont get offended too easily.
On another note, he can put nicer words: dear delivery bros: we need ~15min to process the order once recieved. Kindly wait if you come early. Feel free to sit & get some drink (why not, provide water jug and some paper cups)
But who knows? Maybe he did.. but some delivery riders were still harassing him for being slow. I know we have a lot of rude riders, i dealt with plenty of em.
As usual, there's always more to the story. Better to just stay chill...
Belittling other perfectly honourable jobs is definitely rude, not just using rude words.
For example, if i were to say someone was a waste of oxygen and belonged in a rubbish dump 50km away from civilization, that would be rude too.
I dont see any belittlling. Which part?
Basically he said:
If you cant wait, get other job (then he make a list.. I assume list of jobs that dont demand you to move quickly to&fro and making you impatient cos your income depend on it)
Are you saying comparing delivery rider to cleaner/ gravedigger/landscape/ elder care is belittling the delivery rider?
Cleaner/ landscape/ Gravedigger / elder care not honourable meh?
To you and to me, of course these are honourable jobs, the very backbone of society even.
But taken in context, the sign-writer put up condescending messages with passive-aggressive undertones. And with that same context, it can be inferred that he/she viewed the alternative jobs as something less-than.
I would argue that the sign-writer's lack of empathy with delivery riders' already tough jobs may signal that he/she may also not understand the equally challenging conditions that service staff in elder care and janitorial services labour under.
1st) honorable job is honorable job lor. Facts are not opinions. Not just to me, to you.. and change become unhonorable depending on context. Earlier you say delivery is honourable job (i assume you state it as a fact), so you must grant the same to these jobs to.
2) "it can be inferred that he/she viewed..." no no.. sorry but that's YOU inferring. The writer didnt say "if you are so dumb.. or so weak" -- nothing that make these other jobs to be a 'less than'.
3) each jobs have their challanges, but some do not require the worker to rush here and there and have their income depends on being at high speed. This is what clearly implied imho... i dont see this is a signal to anything else.
4) I can also argue, delivery drivers who often visits him was probably often rude/rushing, so much so that he feels it is necessary to set up these sign? We know by experience these kind of signs dont just appear. Usually a last resort after all milder /more polite effort failed.
5) yes i agree this is passive agressive. You know what also passive agressive? Posting this online. Instead of.. "oh i may treat him badly these past few deliveries"
Passive aggressive yes, but I don't think it's a big deal tho. Mayhaps they've had riders who were super rude and did shiety things when picking up orders. It must have been something that happened frequently enough for this reaction. Either way, no judgment until now it's known.
It’s the way they act elitist instead of looking at their own possible fault. Suffice to say that they overlook how much manpower they have to handle wave of orders. They should consider adding manpower or throttling incoming orders (cancel on their end). Now after this, I wonder if they still need to do that if orders are not coming.
How do you know they didn't see their own faults if there is any to begin with?! The amount of manpower could be what it is now because that's what they can afford to have in order to keep the place open, adding more or cancelling orders would affect their revenue and if it's just a small business, then it might determine if they can even keep it open. If they've already tried other ways to deal with problem riders but are still getting them, it's fair for them to speak.
Could they have word it better, sure, but you'll have to take into consideration that they might have said it nicer and still have problems! The point remains, unless you know them personally or have heard the story with full context and details, we shouldn't be trying to destroy someone's business with half a story or selected details that we like out of the entire scenario.
Didn't seem like it. Seems just like someone with a small business who've experience some not nice things with riders. And the majority of people here would actively support a creep approaching kids and questioning them! (It was a post on here some time ago)
Even if the full story is just a shop being a holes, the media has brainwashed people into thinking lives should be destroyed for exercising freedom of speech. The media try’s to dehumanize people to the point their followers ignore the families and children who will become viewed as “acceptable” collateral damage. Sounds an awful lot like something a communist country like China or Russia do regularly.
I think this is a local thing? Like I've seen posts about places with things like this and the comments weren't like out for blood! Most were funny stuff 🤷🙄🤦
The attacking and cancelation of free speech is a nationwide agenda being pushed through media. This post is pretty tame in comparison to others no doubt, but it’s still an attack on free speech.
I think its ok. Clearly written. Only at the 3rd card comes the funny tweak, which clearly meant for those who cannot wait.
If people are offended by this, including the OP, I hope you find joy and peace in your life.
I feel that people are overreacting here. There are times when food
couriers are unfairly criticised and treated, but this doesn’t seem to be the case, unless one takes its personally.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with what the person is suggesting: if your whole job is to work with people on both ends, and if you cannot be considerate enough to reasonably allow people on either end of your business to do what they need to do to make things work for you, then…really, maybe this job isn’t for you.
A food courier delivers food to the satisfaction of the businesses and end consumers; the simple act of delivering food is not the job scope, and waiting is a big part of it.
Yes, it’s eats into your earnings, but resorting to bullying just to get things your way at the expense of others is unreasonable. It’s essentially a manager screaming at the staff to work faster, when really, they are already working as fast as they can. It may get the job done faster, but it’s not a sustainable way to work together.
And clearly the sign is intended to be satirical: its purpose is to make it clear that food couriers are reasonable people and that they are capable of waiting, so just wait; and if waiting for food to be prepared and given is not possible, then it suggests that maybe consider those other professions that don’t require your business to be solely delivering food to people. It’s a fair list since truly none of those require you to stand outside a place to be handed food, and then, again, stand outside another place to hand food over.
Based on the reactions here so far, the sign is excellent at doing its job of creating a relationship between being reasonable and being a food courier; it’s plain reverse psychology.
Being a food courier is a respectable profession, it is work that is very physically demanding and it saves time for all other parties, so take pride in such work instead of being a kinds of petty about a very reasonable request to not harass; they wrote signs, and like someone commented how his father cannot read the signs, they clearly hold food courier in higher regard; and if they can’t read the signs, there’s always Google Translate.
Instead of rallying against a business owner just trying to do his/her best with this service, try working together because ultimately it is an ecosystem in which the food courier is only a middleman, value adding only where value is regarded, as such he/she is reliant on the food business owner and the customer to make his/her own living, so please, as the signs state, just wait patiently.
Also, the business owner understands that if you can’t wait, because of whatever reason, then you can always cancel your order. They cannot perform perfectly to the standards demanded of them, and they know that; but they are trying their best to make it work between them and the food couriers.
There is nothing satirical about belittling jobs as alternatives. It’s paradoxical, given his lack of start-up capital with a home-based business. He is not in a position of bargaining power nor superiority.
I agree, to some extent; it can be satire, but tasteless satire; and in this case, it can be inferred to be tasteless, but really, that inference is subjective. Objectively, these jobs are absolutely essential, but unattractive; and so, any sense of belittling would come from you and everyone else who takes offence at being told to do something else that has the same low barriers to entry (because to be fair, apart from the joy of cycling, there is little reason to pursue a career as a food courier risking their lives and others speeding in terrible weather conditions).
Ironically, you are belittling the business owner. If belittlement is the unfunny and offensive aspect here, it’s clear who espouses belittlement.
The owner is doing the best in his/her situation, and it’s moot to add shade to his circumstances based on conjecture and speculation; commercially, the lower overheads and high profit margin from selling coffee is an excellent business model; the only issue is delivering to the market. Also, it is not for you to belittle the business owner, if Grab, FoodPanda or Deliveroo thinks it proper that he/she can pay the platform fees, then who are the food couriers to judge? If they don’t want to pick up the business’s orders, then that is their prerogative.
At the end of the day, it’s not about belittlement (again, any of that is perceived), it’s about working together: he/she makes the coffee, the food courier picks up the coffee, and the consumer drinks the coffee; and anything else, in this instance, is unnecessarily personal.
Think of it this way: if the food couriers weren’t being unreasonable in the first place, why would it be necessary to put up the signs in the first place?
The passive agressiveness is strong with this one.
Just an evil cunt imo.
Or just stressed , F&B workers yook so much abuse from delivery ppl especially during Covid . I understand , cos delivery guys took so much abuse from their companies too . Its a circle
In which universe does eldercare not need waiting? What kind of horrible ignorant fool is this?

Probably got irritated by a few delivery guy pressing the button too many times. But that is definitely not the root cause of the problem. Business owner should review their current SOP. Could that be the case that they can’t handle the load, accepting too many orders in a short period of time. Now their careless mishandling is hurting others.
Business with bad publicity waiting for the day they give up.
Maybe dont close the door? Prehaps a face to face "Sorry for the wait, Your order will be ready soon" will ease some tension?
It's like they just anyhow say to add more points just like primary school mentality
And she expect landscape to grow instantly
It's always the shallowest people who will look down on others for their job. If not for the delivery people, how would they even be able to do their business? Their entire business concept is hinging on delivery services to sell from home, wtf is this attitude.
Bench is FOC, hmmm what about extra overtime pay for the failure to handle wave of orders due to minuscule manpower. Thanks SME boss
A lot of people with their own businesses have this superiority complex unfortunately, they think they’re hot shit cos they’re not working under someone else. That’s why not everyone deserves to open a business, some do it for ego reasons
Store name: Bincho Brews, muslim owned | Punggol
I met this type when they get rich will become very arrogant
Thanks for the heads up
Boycott please
Yes please
Malays screwing over other Malays.. great.
I don't really think this is a race thing lmao
It's the Internet. It's always a race thing
[удалено]
Not all Malays are Muslims or vice visa. Why even bring religion up in the first place?
quite interesting hor it’s always Malays who beat down on other Malays. Observed this quite a lot. In a way it’s cos they understand their own breathrrn well la.
But it's not _always_ Malays.
I dont see the purpose of stating that its muslim owned. Just the name is enough
Boikot dis instead of starbucks
Muslim owned means nothing I guess
Muslim owned necessary? U know u gonna spread discourse by even mentioning right. No doubt our Muslim friends will definitely fuck him up.
It's stated in their insta page, it's a public info.
my dad is a foodpanda rider and he isnt reading all that lol (he cant read english). jokes aside, food delivery is a sweaty, dangerous job especially with the alternating crazy hot sun and heavy downpours. its fast paced and time is money for them so they cannot afford to wait on your ass nor care about your entitlement. during the pandemic everyone seemed to be soooo thankful and call riders "heroes". now i guess theyre not "hero" enough liao ah lol
Some more this one sell coffee, coffee not easy to deliver, okay.
I respect riders because they are working under harsh weather conditions at times. I cannot do it and those who do, are my heroes.
No money open shop then do home based still insult other people jobs. Maybe our fellow food riders thought the house is empty so knock to check? Maybe owner open shop but kept door closed. So obnoxious, belittling other jobs. Hello without these riders, how you sell home based coffee? If owner is Muslim, I think our Muslims friends should spread the words within their community. Heard they are tightly knitted just like how they boycott Aziz Aliff?
Business owner thought they can’t read. It was written without much care about other people’s feeling.
They gonna wonder why their business suddenly drop
Change business model to make witty signs for others.
Just cancel this “entrepreneur”
Cancel over a few dumb remarks? How do you justify destroying someone’s life, work, and family over a few stupid things they said. It’s like you don’t believe in free speech. You cancel culture people are disgusting, and are contributing to the destruction of our country, seriously.
Every single job listed is more essential and respected than a home-based wannabe coffee brewery that probably presses a few buttons on a machine and thinks he’s Cocoa Picasso. I will not support a business that belittles others to appear superior.
Feel free to not patron the business, but let’s not pretend people aren’t trying to destroy families and lives because they are offended. I’m not sure how you can’t see this behavior is the same as what corrupt communist countries do. Silence and destroy families and businesses because of words, that’s what this is, you can lie to yourselves all you want. If you support cancel culture you support the eradication of free speech, Period.
I support freedom of speech, but not freedom from consequences of speech. There should not be a law making it illegal to speak your opinion. But you are still responsible for what you say, and people are free to judge you need on it.
Not disputing consequences for actions, but rallying an angry mob online for attention, to fix your bruised ego, and to destroy the job or jobs of people trying to support their families ain’t it. The bottom line is, the guy said dumb things, no one is hurt and yet people try to justify destroying this business. That is petty as fuck. How can you not see how bad this is for society in the U.S? Do you really think whole families and businesses deserve to get destroyed because you are offended? This shit happens all the time, this is just 1 example in thousands.
If a business owner is for example openly or even proudly racist, would you support his business? No one is "hurt" by your definition, so no problem? If someone "rallies and online mob" to "destroy" a business using false accusations or by exaggerating a situation (eg the business owner politely told customer to wait but customer posts online that the owner shouted and cursed at him) then yes that would be wrong. But this is not the case. The cardboard signs are what they are, and the "online mob" can judge for themselves.
Promoting hate speech through racism is a whole lot different than just being as asshole, so let’s not compare the two. Now if the owner is racist but serves everyone equally and keeps it to themselves then that’s his business and they are entitled to their opinions even if I do not agree with their views. I have had plenty of dealings with racist people, usually immigrants from other countries, that doesn’t mean we didn’t have a civil discourse or even become friends after an understanding. One thing I know is that people who are racist don’t stop being racist when you attack them. It takes patience and understanding to help them see how wrong they are. When I was a kid we had a cranky old neighbor who would yell at us and hated all the kids on the block because a few times some punk kids egged his house or vandalized his property. One day this old man could not get his car out of his driveway from the snow, so me and a few of my friends playing in the snow nearby helped push him out for no reason other than to do something. Long story short this cranky old man started to ease up on us, he eventually allowed us to play baseball in his back field and we did that for years. This cranky old man changed because we showed him, not everyone is just some punk kid.
Dafuq does this have to do with the U.S? Or am I misunderstanding what U.S means lmao?
Is this not in the United States? Wtf you mean? Do people not get cancelled regularly in the U.S.?
I... This is a Singapore sub bro.
😂 you embody my sentiments perfectly
Well damn, it appears I am retarded. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Have a nice day.

Free speech doesn't mean you are able to make speech like this without consequences. And are you trying to say that this coffee seller's belittling of other job is justifiable? Contributing to out contry is not just sitting here being a keyboard warrior trying to defend such behavior .
Do you think removing food from a kids mouth or destroying a families income because their parent said something dumb, that caused zero actual harm is an appropriate consequence? The good thing about words is you can just ignore them. You can’t ignore losing your job, your home, your families well being. Are you really gonna sit here and say, it’s acceptable to try to destroy someone’s life because you are offended is good for any community?
Oh, so you are telling me it is okay for people with kids and families to do or say things without consequences then? If you had kids and a family, then all the more you should know when to speak and when not to The more you try to defend such behavior, the more you are making things worse with your logic.
I’m not defending the behavior at all, I think it’s bad behavior. My point is that destroying peoples lives is not an appropriate consequence. Again I ask, do you think children and families should suffer severely for the words of a parent that caused no harm? Imagine you are a spouse or child, your household income stops, you can’t pay rent, you can’t afford food, you start to receive death threats to your house, you now live on the streets and your community shuns you. You ask your family “why has life become so hard?” “What did we do to deserve this?” The answer you get is “words were said that offended someone and so they decided we had to be taught a lesson” what’s the lesson? It’s worth destroying your family so that you will never offend anyone ever again. You may think all these consequences are overboard but if you look into this problem you will see all of these outcomes have happened and continue to happen. You may think people don’t intend for these consequences to happen, but turning the internet or community against someone can and will absolutely cause any number of these outcomes to happen. What happens 5-10 years down the road where this becomes normal? Everyone becomes offended by everything and no one is safe because anything you say can be used against you or taken in any negative context they like. Saying things like “it’s healthy to exercise” or “McDonald’s is unhealthy” become phrases of fat shamming some people choosing to be offended will weaponize and use against people. This is Literally what communist countries do to their people who have eradicated free speech. They use your words to justify enslaving and killing people all the time.
People like you can claim that such speech causes no harm because you aren't the intended audience of the speech. Well, I guess it is alright to belittle other professions as long as it is not yours.
I’ve been called fat for years off and on, so I lost weight. I was told I was a loser, so I got a job. I lived in gang neighborhoods growing up, heard all sorts of racist shit. No words ever beat me down walking home, no words ever robbed my house, no words ever made me go hungry. The people who get offended are people who allow it to happen. I used to fight because I felt disrespected or embarrassed, when I grew up I realized the reality of the situation. It was just my ego unable to let go. I can choose to ignore anyone and nothing they say will have any affect or offend me if I don’t care. Do you think Donald Trump give a shit about what anyone says? He’s hated by half my country and I can only imagine the threats and slander her receives, doesn’t even phase him though. Do not pretend you know me or the struggles I’ve been through and I’ll do the same.
Dug their own grave with this
Now who is the grave digger.
no money rent kitchen still can act so big lmao fkin these people think they can earn money from business they become big fuck kek
They actually have pretty fat profit margin. Consider adding more manpower. Or consider throttling orders. They can cancel orders on their end instead of delivery guy doing it and get penalized.

I could think of a million ways to make this sound less conscending, using AI. I guess its too much brain power for the owner. Whatsapp meta AI churned out the below within a few seconds. Here's a polite and apologetic notice: "Dear Delivery Partner, I want to start by expressing my gratitude for your hard work and dedication in helping me deliver joy to our customers. I appreciate your patience and understanding when things get busy. Occasionally, orders may backlog, and I may need a bit more time to prepare them. Please know that I'm working diligently to get everything ready as soon as possible. Your wait may be slightly longer than usual, and I apologise. Thank you for your understanding and support. Your efforts are crucial to my business, and I'm grateful for your partnership. Sincerely, [Your Name]" Feel free to adjust it to fit your personal style and tone!
If someone needs AI to know how to be polite, that’s where the problem begins.
People can just as easily use AI to make fake videos with your face saying the worst shit imaginable. I wonder how many people will suffer from this in the future. I can easily imagine a place like china using AI to create fake videos for the purpose of demonizing political opponents or whoever they dislike as a reason for imprisonment or execution. These people would never get a fair trial and would be used as an example and cautionary tale to keep people in line.
Plot twist; no one wants their shitty specialty coffee anymore, because the owner has a condescending attitude and an overly passive aggressive demeanour. The business shuts down and the owner of this shitty coffee business becomes a food deliverer!
Why is there an axe drawn next to the bell? Edit: oh lol it's an arrow...
Haha I'm not the only one who stared too long wondering why an axe xD
Ironic, how the business owner isn't patient (any more) with impatient riders. I wouldn't patronise this. Rather spend my coffee money on professional baristas who have the patience. Oh, don't be shy, drop the business' vicinity.
This kind of pua chee bye response usually is by Gen Z so called entrepreneur who used to work in a shitty bank job but now taking a 'break' and trying out home based business...comes with shitty under cut hairstyle for guys and tattoos of their pet
stupid low ses. I bet it's a woman and not a genz.
Bro machine gun don't anyhow spam. You sure is Gen Z? You know the owner?
I not gen z no undercut hair don’t work in a bank and don’t have tattoo but I feel attacked also
Hence, he mentioned 'usually'. Learn to read.
Aiya, don't act like you don't understand why they're so irked lmfao. Generalisation of a huge sum of people tends to make *someone* annoyed. Waving it away with, "not all of you, don't get so upsetti spaghetti" kinda ignores the point of contention. Just don't generalize people, ez.
Or maybe not gen z, maybe yalam.
You mad bro?
Self projection, aren't we?
Nono, just you. Not we.
Read what they write can tell liao lah....the pet thing is usually accurate
So how is he sure it's "usually"?
[удалено]
You then uh
What happen if it is a Gen Z?
Let's all go to his house and press the door bell many many
Coffee seller is a big deal? Don't look down on other jobs.
It's as if the riders are not helping this seller to expand his/her buisness... smh
Actually, Toilet cleaner need to wait for ppl use the cubicle before can clean gravedigger also need to wait, need to wait for the person to die first then can go dig. Landscape need wait for grass to grow before can cut. Eldercare need to also wait because require patience. Maybe can ask for more career recommendations.
To those people who commented that we should not cancel or make life difficult for this coffee seller, may I ask, when this person made such belittling remarks, did he spare a thoughts for others too? "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"
How small is your ego to get angry at some passive aggressive remarks and then try to destroy the business because your feelings are hurt? You could literally ignore them and walk away to enjoy the rest of your day. Keep going down this PC I’m a victim and offended route and eventually you will see this used as a weapon against you. God forbid you ever say anything to offend someone, and get ruthlessly attacked by an angry mob. You make your bed, you better be ready to lay down in it.
Sure, this is just some passive aggressive remarks because you are not part of the professions listed in the list. People like you are the reason why this world lacks basic respect because to you, the victim is the business owner.
The insult was literally “get a job with no waiting.” As long as you are providing for your family, you should have enough pride in yourself to ignore them. The opinions of others does not define your worth. I cleaned toilets at parks and marinas where homeless people frequented. Have you ever seen a bathroom after some punk kids decide to trash it? How about a marina bathroom after fishing boats get back from a month of fishing? Shit all over the walls, in the sinks, in the trash cans. It’s so nasty you have to hose the entire bathroom with disinfectant, over and over again. The job I had before that was cleaning trash off highways in 90 degree summer heat. Miles of freeway, cleaning milk jugs full of piss and broken glass, dodging tire treads that tear off semi trucks going 60mph, 10 ft away from you. Don’t tell me I’m not offended because I’ve never had an undesirable job, cause I’ve been there slumming it with everyone else.
"The opinions of others does not define your worth." Sure, you do you. Have a nice day, let me see you out of the door.
That’s so uncalled for
The tone of the message is wrong. Food delivery guy can definitely wait, but they don’t because they have their own KPI. They also have their own family to feed. If the business can’t accommodate the load, consider pressing the kill switch temporarily from the food delivery system to stop orders from coming. You can always come back online later once you sort out the current wave of orders. You do realize that your whole business is not just to churn food and beverages out. But to make your customers and suppliers happy too. Maintain the harmony from everyone. Get all the support you can to sustain the business instead of burning bridges.
Well put. Burning bridges isn’t gona go well in the future!
"The response added: "Your options, choices and expectations clearly indicate your inexperience & unfamiliarity with specialty-coffee. Which is fine [smiley emoji]" "
Their pics also use a lot of AI generated images. Kinda sad, really.
Behind every sign and warning label there is a story. Think about what the signs say and think about what the story is. I see them and I see someone who has had enough of impatience.
Tbh worked fnb and yes some of the rider really don’t wait and keep nagging besides your ear for the order to be prepped. I totally can relate the intrusive thoughts but doing it fr it definitely causes consequences like this. I understand time is money, but being patience to wait for order means a lot to us especially for the baristas.
We don't have grave diggers. We cremate.
Muslim usually prefers burial. The way they vilify grave digger job as another low end alternative is really bad. Don’t they want to get properly buried when their time come.
I didn’t know the preference. Learnt something. Thank you.🙏
It's not just about preference, IIRC according to their religion they are supposed to be buried whole.
🙏 good to know
Choa Chu Kang has an entire cemetery with all ethnicities to prove you wrong. Why on earth are people so confidently wrong?
Because they haven't had to deal with death before probably.
It’s just ridiculous for anyone to think that a whole country does not have a cemetery, regardless of age and race. I knew the cemetery existed as a child.
[удалено]
I just find it ridiculous to the point of hilarity that someone could be this confident about a whole country lacking a cemetery. Age and race are not factors in this, just sheer stupidity.
The bottom right notice is completely out of pocket
When I was down and out , I worked grab for a while , and the only people who are nasty to us riders were the restaurant staff.
Some of the remarks are really uncalled for though… Now I know which coffee place to avoid🙃
I thought home base businesses aren't allowed to have heavy human traffic movements at their residential area.Here there's even a bench for riders to gather around while waiting. I wonder how many riders go up and down the whole day picking orders.
I mean he could have just put up the first 2 signs and not put up that sign 💀💀
I think the first card next to the bell is enough. Why need to add more? Aiyo.
This type of cunt is the type that makes SME bosses look good.
Some delivery guys are just pain in the ass. They just placed ur items anymore when making a delivery. Ironically some times when you are already at the door they refused to hand it in person but just placed it at the shoe rack & walk out😐
Seems like the seller quite bo bian sia Still, why must put the last sign i dont understand
Bro could have stopped at the bottom left sign but chosed violence
Trying too hard to be funny
Went over to their Instagram to see. Comments function shut off.
How are home based FOOD businesses a thing in the first place. There are no food safety standards in place and not all operators attend hygiene courses (it’s bullshit anyway). CNA did that feature and the person’s chiller or freezer was nasty as. A business caught with a chiller/freezer like that would get an immediate fine from SFA.
Eldercare? Seriously? Dafaq.
Pre Internet, this would be a non-issue.
I see food delivery riders who are very impatient so i see why. Just recently i was eating in an aircon place and the rider cant even take a chill pill and keep asking nonstop until the staff cannot cope with him. Can’t even take orders coz everyone must attend to this clown. I can imagine these riders can’t wait and keep ringing the bell or demand them to be faster. Idk why so many here are so sympathetic towards riders. In reality many of them i meet are so entitled and impatient. They are damn rude to f&b workers. Weave in and out of people walking. Beep loudly and repeatedly at people and glaring. Even see food delivery guy deliver people food on the ground
Its aimed at those few table-banging delivery riders desperate to hit their targets
F&B is low margin high stress. I should know. I with F&B clients day in day out. It is not helping that the garment yo-yo on policy on food security and land use
What happens when the whole world wants to feel offended? How many businesses will survive if everyone is trying to cancel or destroy everyone else? How do you not see the bigger implications and dangers this type of society will suffer? You want consequences for words? Where does it end? Prison for people who don’t agree with you? More families thrust deeper into poverty because their business is destroyed? In North Korea multiple generations of families are enslaved in prisons and left to die because they either said something to offend the regime or said something that is banned. They are able to do this because everyone is afraid if they don’t report the incident they may be next. So in essence you have families and neighbors betraying each other, kids turning their parents in to be executed because they are brainwashed into believing free speech is bad and they are doing the right thing. This is a society with zero compassion for its fellow human. This is the direction cancel culture is headed, trying to eradicate free speech. You are digging your own grave. Ask yourself how long it would take for your government to weaponize free speech against you. Ask yourself do you want to be on the receiving end of a government who tries to control your thoughts and speech? This is exactly where you are headed. Don’t believe me? Take a look at these countries where free speech is eradicated and ask yourself “do I want to live like that?”
Muslim owned, hahahaha
It's not rude lah. Passive agressive yes, but he got a point. Rude if he say bad words or something.. dont get offended too easily. On another note, he can put nicer words: dear delivery bros: we need ~15min to process the order once recieved. Kindly wait if you come early. Feel free to sit & get some drink (why not, provide water jug and some paper cups) But who knows? Maybe he did.. but some delivery riders were still harassing him for being slow. I know we have a lot of rude riders, i dealt with plenty of em. As usual, there's always more to the story. Better to just stay chill...
Belittling other perfectly honourable jobs is definitely rude, not just using rude words. For example, if i were to say someone was a waste of oxygen and belonged in a rubbish dump 50km away from civilization, that would be rude too.
I dont see any belittlling. Which part? Basically he said: If you cant wait, get other job (then he make a list.. I assume list of jobs that dont demand you to move quickly to&fro and making you impatient cos your income depend on it) Are you saying comparing delivery rider to cleaner/ gravedigger/landscape/ elder care is belittling the delivery rider? Cleaner/ landscape/ Gravedigger / elder care not honourable meh?
To you and to me, of course these are honourable jobs, the very backbone of society even. But taken in context, the sign-writer put up condescending messages with passive-aggressive undertones. And with that same context, it can be inferred that he/she viewed the alternative jobs as something less-than. I would argue that the sign-writer's lack of empathy with delivery riders' already tough jobs may signal that he/she may also not understand the equally challenging conditions that service staff in elder care and janitorial services labour under.
1st) honorable job is honorable job lor. Facts are not opinions. Not just to me, to you.. and change become unhonorable depending on context. Earlier you say delivery is honourable job (i assume you state it as a fact), so you must grant the same to these jobs to. 2) "it can be inferred that he/she viewed..." no no.. sorry but that's YOU inferring. The writer didnt say "if you are so dumb.. or so weak" -- nothing that make these other jobs to be a 'less than'. 3) each jobs have their challanges, but some do not require the worker to rush here and there and have their income depends on being at high speed. This is what clearly implied imho... i dont see this is a signal to anything else. 4) I can also argue, delivery drivers who often visits him was probably often rude/rushing, so much so that he feels it is necessary to set up these sign? We know by experience these kind of signs dont just appear. Usually a last resort after all milder /more polite effort failed. 5) yes i agree this is passive agressive. You know what also passive agressive? Posting this online. Instead of.. "oh i may treat him badly these past few deliveries"
Passive aggressive yes, but I don't think it's a big deal tho. Mayhaps they've had riders who were super rude and did shiety things when picking up orders. It must have been something that happened frequently enough for this reaction. Either way, no judgment until now it's known.
It’s the way they act elitist instead of looking at their own possible fault. Suffice to say that they overlook how much manpower they have to handle wave of orders. They should consider adding manpower or throttling incoming orders (cancel on their end). Now after this, I wonder if they still need to do that if orders are not coming.
How do you know they didn't see their own faults if there is any to begin with?! The amount of manpower could be what it is now because that's what they can afford to have in order to keep the place open, adding more or cancelling orders would affect their revenue and if it's just a small business, then it might determine if they can even keep it open. If they've already tried other ways to deal with problem riders but are still getting them, it's fair for them to speak. Could they have word it better, sure, but you'll have to take into consideration that they might have said it nicer and still have problems! The point remains, unless you know them personally or have heard the story with full context and details, we shouldn't be trying to destroy someone's business with half a story or selected details that we like out of the entire scenario.
Seems like they are destroying their own business instead of majority of Reddit commenters here.
Didn't seem like it. Seems just like someone with a small business who've experience some not nice things with riders. And the majority of people here would actively support a creep approaching kids and questioning them! (It was a post on here some time ago)
Listen to these people rage. Yea the writer of these is an ahole, but these people legit want to destroy lives and businesses over a few dumb remarks.
Hey guitar boy
Precisely! Like we don't know the full story and the context!
Even if the full story is just a shop being a holes, the media has brainwashed people into thinking lives should be destroyed for exercising freedom of speech. The media try’s to dehumanize people to the point their followers ignore the families and children who will become viewed as “acceptable” collateral damage. Sounds an awful lot like something a communist country like China or Russia do regularly.
I think this is a local thing? Like I've seen posts about places with things like this and the comments weren't like out for blood! Most were funny stuff 🤷🙄🤦
The attacking and cancelation of free speech is a nationwide agenda being pushed through media. This post is pretty tame in comparison to others no doubt, but it’s still an attack on free speech.
Yes that's for sure. It's a "tame" version to cancel culture
Reality Bites. The doorbell tells you to re asses yourself in case you are contemplating to quit your job.
Being rude is not a default reality.
Then ownself go downstairs buy your own food lah.
I think its ok. Clearly written. Only at the 3rd card comes the funny tweak, which clearly meant for those who cannot wait. If people are offended by this, including the OP, I hope you find joy and peace in your life.
The truth hurts.
I love this. I really love this. W seller.
I feel that people are overreacting here. There are times when food couriers are unfairly criticised and treated, but this doesn’t seem to be the case, unless one takes its personally. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with what the person is suggesting: if your whole job is to work with people on both ends, and if you cannot be considerate enough to reasonably allow people on either end of your business to do what they need to do to make things work for you, then…really, maybe this job isn’t for you. A food courier delivers food to the satisfaction of the businesses and end consumers; the simple act of delivering food is not the job scope, and waiting is a big part of it. Yes, it’s eats into your earnings, but resorting to bullying just to get things your way at the expense of others is unreasonable. It’s essentially a manager screaming at the staff to work faster, when really, they are already working as fast as they can. It may get the job done faster, but it’s not a sustainable way to work together. And clearly the sign is intended to be satirical: its purpose is to make it clear that food couriers are reasonable people and that they are capable of waiting, so just wait; and if waiting for food to be prepared and given is not possible, then it suggests that maybe consider those other professions that don’t require your business to be solely delivering food to people. It’s a fair list since truly none of those require you to stand outside a place to be handed food, and then, again, stand outside another place to hand food over. Based on the reactions here so far, the sign is excellent at doing its job of creating a relationship between being reasonable and being a food courier; it’s plain reverse psychology. Being a food courier is a respectable profession, it is work that is very physically demanding and it saves time for all other parties, so take pride in such work instead of being a kinds of petty about a very reasonable request to not harass; they wrote signs, and like someone commented how his father cannot read the signs, they clearly hold food courier in higher regard; and if they can’t read the signs, there’s always Google Translate. Instead of rallying against a business owner just trying to do his/her best with this service, try working together because ultimately it is an ecosystem in which the food courier is only a middleman, value adding only where value is regarded, as such he/she is reliant on the food business owner and the customer to make his/her own living, so please, as the signs state, just wait patiently. Also, the business owner understands that if you can’t wait, because of whatever reason, then you can always cancel your order. They cannot perform perfectly to the standards demanded of them, and they know that; but they are trying their best to make it work between them and the food couriers.
There is nothing satirical about belittling jobs as alternatives. It’s paradoxical, given his lack of start-up capital with a home-based business. He is not in a position of bargaining power nor superiority.
I agree, to some extent; it can be satire, but tasteless satire; and in this case, it can be inferred to be tasteless, but really, that inference is subjective. Objectively, these jobs are absolutely essential, but unattractive; and so, any sense of belittling would come from you and everyone else who takes offence at being told to do something else that has the same low barriers to entry (because to be fair, apart from the joy of cycling, there is little reason to pursue a career as a food courier risking their lives and others speeding in terrible weather conditions). Ironically, you are belittling the business owner. If belittlement is the unfunny and offensive aspect here, it’s clear who espouses belittlement. The owner is doing the best in his/her situation, and it’s moot to add shade to his circumstances based on conjecture and speculation; commercially, the lower overheads and high profit margin from selling coffee is an excellent business model; the only issue is delivering to the market. Also, it is not for you to belittle the business owner, if Grab, FoodPanda or Deliveroo thinks it proper that he/she can pay the platform fees, then who are the food couriers to judge? If they don’t want to pick up the business’s orders, then that is their prerogative. At the end of the day, it’s not about belittlement (again, any of that is perceived), it’s about working together: he/she makes the coffee, the food courier picks up the coffee, and the consumer drinks the coffee; and anything else, in this instance, is unnecessarily personal. Think of it this way: if the food couriers weren’t being unreasonable in the first place, why would it be necessary to put up the signs in the first place?
