My Actifit Report Card: February 14 2024🚲Food delivery / フードデリバリー

（日本語は後半にあります）

【English】

Yesterday was quite warm with a high of 17 degrees. So, for the first time in a while, I worked as a food delivery person. It is a service similar to Uber eats, that you are free to work by turning on the app in your spare time.

I signed up as a food delivery partner about 3 years ago and have been delivering occasionally ever since. However, I had not been in operation since I started working part time at a small supermarket last fall. The part time job is short, about 3 times a week, but late at night. This made me sleepy during the day, so I avoided food delivery, which requires long bike rides. But now that I am getting used to working part time, I wanted to ride my bike for the first time in a while!

I rode for about an hour and a half, mostly in the ward where I live, making deliveries. I think it was a pretty good workout, although it is frustrating that my Actifit step count doesn't increase when I bike. My bike has electric assist, but I still have light muscle soreness. Next time I'd like to turn on my smartwatch, whose batteries are still dead, and measure my mileage as well. The air was spring itself, and flowers that looked like peaches were beginning to bloom.

I like to deliver. Depending on the distance, the remuneration is about 300 yen to 500 yen ($2-$3.3) per case. When I first started working as a delivery partner, the unit price was better, but as COVID-19 converged and the demand for meal delivery declined, the rewards became lower. Well, it is not bad if I consider that I am getting paid while exercising. The AI seems to be directing the dispatch of cars and delivery routes, so I am comfortable with that as well. Somewhere before, I read a criticism that " Delivery people are being forced to work by AI!", but I don't mind it so much... AI is rather better suited than humans to direct vehicle dispatch and delivery routes. So far, I have had peaceful deliveries with no accidents, wrong deliveries, or problems with the customer.

The truth is, I make more money when I operate in extreme cold, scorching hot, or rainy days because there are fewer competitors! But　I rarely do it on bad weather days because safety comes first. So I don't expect to make big money from this job in the future, but I will occasionally make deliveries for exercise.

I didn't increase my step count by biking, but I did manage to get over 5,000 steps by walking to the convenience store to recycle plastic bottles and by walking to work part time last night.

昨日は最高気温17度とかなり暖かい日でした。そこで、久しぶりにフードデリバリーの配達に行ってきました。

3年ほど前に配達パートナーとして登録して以来、ちょこちょこ配達していたのですが、昨年秋にパートを始めてからはずっとサボっていました。パートは週3回程度で短時間ですが、深夜の時間帯なので日中は眠くて眠くて。でもそろそろ慣れてきたこともあり、久しぶりにチャリを走らせてみたくなりました。

1時間半ほど、主に区内を走りました。自転車だとActifitの歩数が伸びないのが残念ですが、かなり良い運動になったと思います。私の自転車は電動アシスト付きですが、それでも軽く筋肉痛になっています。次回からは電池が切れたままになっているスマートウォッチをオンにして、走行距離も測りたいな。空気は春そのもので、桃らしき花も咲き始めていました。

配達は結構好きです。距離にもよりますが、報酬は1件当たり300円～500円くらい。私が配達を始めた当初はもっと単価が良かったのですが、コロナが明け需要が低下したことに伴い、報酬も安くなりました。まあ、運動しながらお金をもらっていると考えれば悪くはありません。配車や配達経路の指示はAIがしているらしく、その点も気楽です。以前どこかで「配達員はAIに働かされている！」という批判？を見かけましたが、私はあまり気にならないというか…　むしろ配車や配達経路の指示はAIがやった方が良いと思います。これまでのところ、事故や誤配達、注文者とのトラブル等もなく平和に配達できています。

本当は極寒や灼熱の日、雨の日に稼働するとライバルが減ってもうちょっと稼げるんですけどね！私は安全第一のため、気候の悪い日はほとんどやりません。だから今後も稼げないとは思いますが、運動のために時々配達に出ようと思っています。

自転車では歩数は伸びませんでしたが、ペットボトルのリサイクルのためコンビニまで歩いたり、昨夜はパートの通勤を徒歩にしたりしたことで、何とか5,000歩を越えました。
