Deliveryman carries \u201cI\u2019m negative\u201d sign on his bike to assure customers<\/h2>\n
\n

As the COVID-19 outbreak drags on in Saigon, more and more residents have switched to shopping online, relying on delivery drivers to bring them food and other products.<\/p>\n

However, due to the nature of their job requiring them to meet many people, these drivers not only face high risks of infection themselves, but also carry the potential to spread the virus if they\u2019re not careful.<\/p>\n

Understanding this concern, a deliveryman in Saigon has put up a sign on his bike saying \u201cI\u2019m negative\u201d to assure his customers<\/strong>. He also adheres to social distancing<\/strong> by leaving the package from afar for the customer to pick up themselves, minimizing contacts.<\/p>\n

The deliveryman attached a sign that says \u201cI\u2019m negative\u201d to his bike<\/h3>\n

On Tuesday, Facebook user Hu\u1ef3nh Nh\u00e3 Di<\/a> posted on the review group Th\u00e1nh Riviu<\/a> to share some cute stories that transpired between her and her regular deliveryman, hoping to spread the positivity.<\/p>\n

From what Nh\u00e3 Di said, she was very impressed by how serious the man adheres to disease prevention policies. To assure his customers, he\u2019s attached a sign saying \u201cI\u2019m negative\u201d to his bike. Adorably, he\u2019s also decorated the sign with hand-drawn pictures of omelettes \u2013 his favorite food.<\/p>\n

Next to the sign is a bottle of sanitizer, readily available when needed.<\/p>\n

Not only that, but the driver is also very adamant about maintaining a safe distance during their transaction. To minimize contacts, he leaves the package on a nearby surface \u2013 an unused table in this particular case \u2013 then backs away and tells the customer to pick up the delivery themselves.<\/p>\n

He melts her heart on multiple occasions with considerate gestures<\/h3>\n

According to Nh\u00e3 Di, since she orders items online quite often and this deliveryman is her regular one, they\u2019ve developed a more personal bond. On multiple occasions, he\u2019s delivered not only her packages, but also considerate gestures that melt her heart.<\/p>\n

For instance, on International Women\u2019s Day last 8th March \u2013 an occasion where Vietnamese men buy gifts to show appreciation to important women in their lives \u2013 the driver bought her a rose. It came with a cute note that says, \u201cWish you happiness and success in online shopping (getting products that look like online pictures)\u201d.<\/p>\n

A very practical wish, we must say. We all know shopping online is a gamble sometimes, and what you get is not always what the seller promises.<\/p>\n

On another occasion, Nh\u00e3 Di tipped him a cup of tea, and on his next delivery, the man returned the favor by buying her a drink.<\/p>\n

Be nice to your delivery drivers<\/h3>\n
\n

A lot of delivery drivers come from humble beginnings, but in general, they have a reputation for being hardworking and honest.<\/p>\n

However, due to the new COVID-19 outbreak, many of these men and women are struggling to make ends meet. As such, let\u2019s join hands to help them out.<\/p>\n

Even the simplest of acts from our end, such as being punctual to receive our deliveries, or giving them a tip or a cup of water, can go a long way in easing their burdens.<\/p>\n
