Completed over 750 orders during my tenure as a rider.Successfully evaded 2 attempted muggings and completed deliveries within the allotted timeframe, ensuring that my customers' takeaways arrived hot despite the attempts on my life.Enhanced mental resilience. During a cold snap before Christmas 2023, I worked 6 consecutive nights in temperatures averaging minus 9 degrees Celsius. Each night, I would return to a completely frozen water bottle and was unable to feel my toes or thumbs.Formed friendships with fellow riders, many of whom confront daily financial struggles as a result of their dependence on the gig economy. This facet of the job served as a poignant reminder of my own privilege up to this point.It is with regret that I have had to retire from this role. Whilst I enjoyed this role, I have already expended more lives than that of the luckiest cat. After so many near-life-changing accidents, I have decided to hang up my kit before my luck runs out.
