每一次，外卖小哥把食物袋交给我的时候，我都会潜意识地留意一下纸袋的状态——有被开过的样子吗？

我看过一些外卖哥私自动了外卖的传闻。

我看过更多的，外卖哥辛苦送外卖的故事，他们根本没空多摸一下你的食物。

自从我改用App自动付款支付我的外卖之后，每次从小哥手里接过食物，我都有点愧疚没有打赏。若是用现金支付，我起码让他不必找回零钱给我。那个不必找回零钱，姿态不是刻意的打赏，而是大家省掉麻烦。但是小哥必定也高兴，积少成多嘛。

App自动付款呢，他只能拿到准确该得的，一分也没多。

后来我发现，App里可以给外卖哥另行打赏。

啊~ 难怪那些外卖哥到了我这里，翻身下摩托，把食物交给我，全程都是那么彬彬有礼，比我儿子可亲得多，莫非是想要我在App里打赏？

莫非...... 是想我也顺便点一份外卖给他吃？

What If I Tipped You... Dinner?

Every time the delivery guy hands me my order,
I subconsciously glance at the paper bag—
Does it look like it's been opened?

I’ve read a few rumors about riders sneaking bites from customers’ meals.
I’ve read far more stories of riders working tirelessly,
barely having time to breathe,
let alone tamper with someone’s pad thai.

Ever since I switched to app-based automatic payment,
I’ve felt a little guilty not tipping the delivery guys directly.
When I used to pay in cash, I could at least tell them,
“Keep the change.”
It wasn’t a formal tip, just a way to skip the fuss.
But I imagine it made them smile.
A little adds up.

Now, with the app, they get exactly what they’re owed.
Not a cent more.

Eventually, I found out the app actually has a “tip your rider” button.
Aha. That explains it.

No wonder some riders hop off their bikes,
hand me my bag like it’s a ceremonial offering,
and bow with the kind of politeness
I haven’t seen from my own son in years.

Could it be... they're hoping for a tip through the app?
Or—wait—could it be... they’re secretly hoping I’ll order them dinner too?
