snoop1130 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Hundreds of GrabFood and GrabMart riders staged a mass protest today (Thursday), against changes to delivery service rules, issued by their company which, they claim, have resulted in a reduction in their earnings. The riders gathered in front of the Central World shopping mall in Bangkok’s Ratchaprasong area this morning, before proceeding to their company offices on Phetchaburi Road. The riders say that the company has imposed a zoning system, which has forced them to operate within each zone instead of throughout Bangkok. They also complain that they are ordered to take two delivery orders at the same time, instead of one, which has reduced their orders and the fees they can charge.

In a statement, issued late this afternoon, the company said that it has always attached importance to the opinions of its “partner” riders and customers, which are used as the bases for improvements to its services. The company has always been receptive to opinions and suggestions and has opened several channels through which it can receive them, such as its call centre, Grab Facebook and Grab Partner Club, according to the statement.

RandolphGB Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) The corrupt thugs that run the Win motorcycle taxi mafia are to blame. They will stop at nothing to stifle innovation and lower prices for consumers. Stop using the orange jackets or the street taxis.

2009 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Now now children. Just get back to work. Or find a new job. Maybe they can go back to loitering around on their bikes popping pimples in the motorcycle mirror. I don't see anything wrong with these rules. They just aren't adult enough to handle it.
