Isang anak ng matandang Grab driver, naglabas ng saloobin matapos buhusan ng isang kostumer ng mainit na sabaw ang kaniyang ama!

Nitong nagdaang mga buwan at taon ay talagang nakaranas tayo ng maraming mga pagsubok lalo na nang kumalat na ng husto ang pandemya sa buong mundo. Maraming mga negosyo ang nagsara at mga manggagawa na nawalan ng trabaho.

Nakakalungkot mang isipin ngunit ito na ang reyalidad ng buhay natin sa ngayon. Dahil sa mga kaganapan na ito, kinailangan din ng iilan sa atin na maghanap ng bagong trabaho o kahit anong paraan upang mabuhay at patuloy na suportahan ang ating pamilya.

Isa na marahil sa mga masisipag na indibidwal na ito ang ama ng netizen na ito na si Esther Erin na isang Grab driver. Marami ang nalungkot at natuto sa kaniyang Instagram post na pinamagatan niyang “A True Story About Grab Driver’s”.

Ito ay tungkol sa paghanga niya sa kaniyang ama dahil sa kabila ng pagod, hirap, at sakripisyo ng kaniyang ama ay nagagawa pa rin niyang ipagpatuloy araw-araw ang kaniyang trabaho bilang isang Grab driver. 5:30 pa lamang daw ng umaga ay nag-aalmusal na ang kaniyang ama para sa mahabang araw nito.

Habang alas-otso na ng gabi ang susunod na kain nito. Kahit pa nga daw alas-sais na ng gabi ay tumatanggap pa ito ng isang kostumer bago ang kanilang hapunan. Talaga namang napakasipag ng kaniyang ama.

Ginagawa ito ng kaniyang ama dahil sa nais nitong mapunan lahat ng gastusin at pangangailangan ng kanilang buong pamilya. Umantig sa puso ng publiko ang insidenteng kinuwento ni Esther kung saan ang kaniyang ama ay binuhusan ng mainit na sabaw ng isa sa kaniyang mga naging kostumer.

Matagal daw kasing naghintay ang kostumer na ito sa order niyang pagkain na tumagal talaga sa restaurant pa lamang kung saan ang may-ari ay napakasungit din. Humingi ng paumanhin ang kaniyang ama ngunit nakatanggap pa ito ng masasakit na salita mula sa kaniyang kostumer na siya ring nagtapon ng mainit na sabaw sa kaniya.

Pakiusap ni Esther na maging mabait sana tayo sa lahat ng pagkakataon at hangga’t maari ay magpakita ng pagrespeto sa iba ano man ang kanilang trabaho o estado sa buhay.

Ito ang original na mensahe ni Esther sa Instagram.

another day of work, another day for him to get by. The alarm rang at 5 a.m. He woke up feeling a heavy sore surging through his body because of an incident that happened the day before. Nobody knew he had been driving for 12 hours straight, every single day for the past year. His usual routine includes his simple breakfast at 5.30 a.m, followed by lunch at 8 p.m. The **** in his back and the hunger in his stomach were nothing compared to the worries in his mind: “Will I make enough deliveries today to cover the bills?”

𝘉𝘰𝘺 𝘰𝘩 𝘣𝘰𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘧𝘧 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘺 𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘺𝘴.

It was a fine Thursday, he made a few deliveries for all kinds of cuisines. And then came an order for Spade’s Burger. He let out a huge sigh, he never liked delivering orders from Spade’s or myBurgerLab (you know how long the queue can get). Customers were always rushing him to get the food there “faster”. But how fast can you wait, when there are 10 other drivers waiting to deliver to their customers as well?

6PM – It was almost time for dinner but he wanted to take one last job for the day before he went home to have dinner with his kids. Then the next notification came in: –

The job was from a Korean food restaurant. It took him less than 5 minutes to get to the restaurant. He then went in to greet the owner and inform him of the orders. The owner looked him up and down with a displeased look on his face and said, “𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗯 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲”

So, the waiting begins…

[30 mins later] the first message from the waiting customers arrives:

“𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲?”

The grab driver started to panic and went into the restaurant to follow up with the order, just to be greeted with a glare. The restaurant owner raised his voice, “𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗬! 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗯 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲!”

The grab driver apologized and explained to the customer that his order was still in preparation. Then came the next reply:

“𝗜’𝗺 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗟𝗢𝗪 𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚”
