‘She only makes 43 US cents per order’: apology after Chinese police scold man who abused delivery worker by giving bogus address and poor review
- Delivery worker tells police she felt ‘psychologically hurt’ by actions of man who took out his frustration at life on her
- Police officer earns praise online after he rebukes the man telling him he should respect others and never repeat his behaviour
A police officer who reprimanded a man who played a prank on a food delivery worker and forced him to apologise for doing so has been applauded online in mainland China.
In order to act out a general feeling of frustration at life, the prankster gave the woman delivery worker a bogus address.
On finding this out when she turned up to deliver the food earlier this month, the worker, surnamed Liu, reported the matter to police in eastern China’s Anhui province, the People’s Daily reported.
After realising it was a bogus address, the delivery worker phoned to check with the man who made the order and was verbally abused by him.
The man also threatened to beat her up when he met her in person and posted negative feedback about her on the delivery company’s website, the report said.
