Badtameez Rapido Guy!!
I had ordered something from a local place and the owner sent the package through Rapido. The Rapido guy called me (when he was at the owner’s place) and asked me if I can give him the otp even before delivering my stuff so that he can pick up one additional customer because he was getting a customer there. He said that in this way he can earn 100rs more.
Rapido is new in jammu and I haven’t used it before but still everyone knows that you don’t give opts unless the parcel is delivered.
So I politely told him that I am sorry but this doesn’t sound right and I won’t be sharing the otp unless you deliver the parcel. He again asked the same thing for like 3-4 times and i again refused. He kept on repeating that, “madam bharose naam ki bhi koi cheez hoti hai and all”.
I felt a little upset as I wanted to trust him because I knew that he can earn little more in this way. But I didn’t want myself to be scammed. I even thought that I would give him 100rs tip once he delivered my package.
Just a little background, I am a Punjabi married to a Jammu Sikh - so i speak punjabi if someone speaks to me in dogri and the guy started speaking in dogri so I also switched to Punjabi and he somehow got an idea that i am a punjabi, maybe because of my accent.
So now he came to my place, I went outside to collect my package and before I handed him his tip, this is what he said to me - (in Dogri - but I am translating it to hindi here) -
“Madam bhrose naam ki bhi koi cheez hoti hai, mein apke sath scam kyu krunga, Punjab mein hota hai aisa sabb, Ye humara Jammu hai aur hum Dogre hain hum aisa nahi krte, Apko vajah se mere 100rs ka loss ho gaya and bla bla bla”
To which i replied, “Bhaiya meine kuch galat to kiya nahi, jo rules hain usi hisab se sb kiya, aapka loss kaise hua ye? and mein to apko jaanti bhi nahi to mein aapke upr trust kaise kru… “ And I came back inside without giving him the tip.
I literally felt so upset. I have always tried to help delivery guys as I feel they are in need, they work so hard just to earn few rupees. He targeted me even though he was the one who’s wrong here. How am I liable for his loss? That wasn’t even a loss at first place.
I have been living in Jammu since last 2.5 years, i am married here. This is my place and my home. How can someone like him just come and say such mean things to me. It literally hurts.
What are your views on this??
Short Summary - A Rapido delivery guy asked me multiple times to share the OTP before delivering my parcel so he could take another customer and earn ₹100 extra.
I politely refused
When he finally delivered it, he blamed me for his ₹100 “loss” and said, “Punjab mein hota hai aisa, hum Dogre aisa nahi karte.”
