Ordering food daily has become a lifestyle choice across several countries during this ‘New Normal’ era.
With the decreased number of people dining out in restaurants, many food hawkers have had to shift their focus to providing quick-and-quality take-out meals by collaborating with deliverymen. However, some riders do not only provide a great delivery service, but also make a contribution to customers’ food.
Here’s the story of Grab riders in Khon Kaen who helped an overloaded hawker finish the food order.

One TikToker commented that the deliverymen were dancing rather than helping.
Try dancing and cooking
We really appreciate by the the Grab riders’ dedication to providing a fast delivery service. Their kindness in helping the hawker is also admirable.
However, these kind and dedicated individuals also taught us another very valuable lesson: there’s never a bad time to start a dance party.
