Get Paid To Exercise

 So how was it like on the first day of working for Foodpanda?  This time I went to Causeway Point to start my shift, since there were many riders over there, so I just followed.  So it worked!  There, I was so fast to get my first customer on the app and I just parked my bicycle and walked to the shop to collect the food.  After I had collected the food, I click on 'pick up' on the app and then the next job is to 'drop off'.  

Upon picking up the food, I walked to the bicycle and started cycling to the block number that was shown in the app.  Yesterday I worked for 7 hours.  Sometimes the distance to deliver is shorter and sometimes it was extremely long.  However, the earnings were kept constant at around $4 plus.  After 'dropping off' the food at customer's place, I had to cycle back to the 'centre zone'.  I had no idea where the 'centre zone' was, but just went back to Causeway Point.  

Generally I had constant deliveries coming in.  However at 11am to 1130am, I was idle.  There was no deliveries at all.  I saw that there were so many Grabfood riders around, but few Foodpanda riders.  At this timing when I was idle, I saw some Grabfood riders being idle as well.  So it was an unproductive time for me.  

Being cycling, I need to know my limits.  I was given a very far place of deliveries, a place which I was not familiar at 1130am.  It was admiralty road.  So I had to reject it.  It was no good to reject an order but I had no choice.  This will affect my acceptance rate.  

Yesterday, I tried to accept all the orders except for one mentioned above.  At the end of the day, finishing my shift I was dead tired, because there were steep slope at Marsiling 'hill point'.  I am not going to accept this area next time.  It was not worthwhile considering the same amount of money earn, which was $4 plus only.  

On average, within one hour, I just earn an average of $8.70, having two deliveries.  So for the seven hours that I worked yesterday, my earning was $60.81.  I had thirteen deliveries, some collected cash and some on cards.

So it was a strenuous exercise for me yesterday.  I was getting paid to exercise!
