2.2 (Is ordering food together a common social activity in your circle? Do you have any fun group ordering stories or strategies?) Yes! Because food-delivery has become extremely popular, it feels as though everyone is ordering in these days. I only order occasionally, but I have heard that some of my friends will look for coupons on various apps such as Meituan so they can get 50 % off – or even more. I think it’s a great money-saving strategy for shrewd budgeting.

4.1 (In your opinion, what is the biggest positive AND negative effect that the rise of food delivery has had on society?) As the old saying goes "every coin has two sides". I think the positive aspect of the food-delivery industry is that it has brought us great convenience and created many jobs. Conversely, kitchen supervision is minimal, so consumers may receive unhealthy meals; moreover, because demand for riders is so high, they often drive at excessive speeds, which can lead to traffic accidents.
