We all know food delivery riders don't have it easy — while we sit at home or in an air-conditioned office waiting for our meals, they brave the sun and rain just to bring us our food.  Last month, 23-year-old Xiaohongshu user Xiao Zhi (隔壁小志) experienced what it's like to work as a food delivery rider for a day. His task? "How much can you earn as delivering food in Singapore?" Armed with his phone, a power bank, a towel, a water bottle, and a Foodpanda delivery bag, Xiao Zhi set off on his bicycle. After dealing with a tyre issue, Xiao Zhi revealed his game plan: "The Foodpanda shift starts at at 1.30pm, then [we'll take] a short break at 6pm before continuing at 7pm. I'll end at 9-10pm." He received his first order at 1.45pm, and went on to deliver three other orders in the Ang Mo Kio area.  Xiao Zhi made sure to give regular updates in between sending orders, noting that the weather was "very warm". He also visibly got more tired as time passed. While sending his third order, he noted he had already "gotten more tanned". He also made a quick stop to get a cold drink before collecting his fourth order.  "This is really not an easy job. There are also a lot of areas under construction in Ang Mo Kio, and plenty of traffic lights. It's tough!" he added.  Xiao Zhi eventually ended his day as a delivery rider at 4pm, after 2.5 hours.  After reaching home, he shared he had earned S$20.20 from completing four orders, or an average of S$8 per hour.  "What I wish to say is that it's really not an easy job," he said. "Sometimes, orders don't come in as fast, and when I'm not familiar with the area, I have to spend five to 10 minutes planning my route. The sun was also scorching, and I'm not lying when I say I felt like I was going to faint [from the heat]." Moral of the story? If it's within your means, do tip your delivery rider, and if you get to see them, thank them for their hard work.   The job was a lot tougher than expected   He earned a total of S$20.20
