A courier in Russia encountered a proposal from a customer to take out the trash for 1,000 Rubles during a delivery. The incident became a hot topic on social media.
A food delivery courier in Russia encountered one of the strangest offers of his life while delivering an order to an apartment. The female customer who opened the door offered the courier cash in exchange for taking two large garbage bags she handed him to the container outside, instead of receiving the bags of food.
In footage recorded by the courier's own camera, the moments when he arrived at the door to deliver the order are visible. However, after receiving the food, the customer made an interesting proposal to the courier. The woman, who asked, "Can you take these two garbage bags downstairs?" pulled out 1,000 Rubles (approximately 10-11 Dollars) from her pocket and offered it to the courier amid his astonished gaze.
In the face of this amount, which is several times higher than the standard delivery fee in Russia, the courier could not hide his surprise. For couriers who usually receive only a few hundred rubles in tips, earning 1,000 rubles for stopping by the garbage container just a few steps away was interpreted as the "bonus of the day."
The courier shared this strange but profitable moment on his social media account, asking his colleagues and followers, "What would you do if you were in my place?" The video quickly garnered thousands of views, while users were divided. Some users argued that the woman was simply paying a "laziness fee," while others humorously commented, emphasizing the courier's luck, "I wish we had such generous and lazy customers too."
This incident also brought back to the agenda the increasing demands for "extra services" in the courier industry in Russia. It is known that couriers not only carry packages but also sometimes negotiate with customers about moving heavy items at home, walking pets, or, as in this case, taking out the trash. However, the fact that such a high amount of 1,000 rubles was given for just two garbage bags reinforced the "bizarre" nature of the incident.
