'One set is for you, driver' — customer's double order for delivery rider warms hearts online

A story about a customer who ordered an extra set of the same meal for their delivery rider has gone viral online.

A post reading "I met an angel of a customer who ordered food for me too" spread recently across social media and multiple online communities.

The delivery rider who wrote the post shared photos of the order details along with the delivered food.

What caught attention was a special request left by the customer, identified only as A. The note read: "One set is for you, driver. I ordered two sets of the same thing on purpose. Please leave mine at the door. Drive safe."

The order details the rider received also showed a 500-won weather surcharge — an additional fee paid to delivery riders during rain, snow or other adverse conditions.

Delivery platforms operate a weather surcharge system that pays riders extra when conditions are poor, such as rain, snow, extreme heat or cold. However, the specific weather conditions or reason for the surcharge could not be confirmed from the photos alone.

The rider, delighted by the unexpected gift, wrote in the post: "A customer ordered food for me while I was out delivering. Thank you, angel of a customer — I'll enjoy every bite."

Online users who came across the story responded warmly. "My faith in humanity is restored," one wrote. Others said, "It must have been a good day for both the customer and the rider," "Both the thoughtful customer and the rider who genuinely appreciated the gesture are angels," "Isn't this proof the world is still a warm place?" and "You'll be blessed."
