PHOTOS: Who is this mysterious courier in Budapest?
Hungary is a place full of interesting people, but when it comes to food delivery, they can really take it to the next level. On Nagykörút a few days ago, a Wolt courier was seen delivering about a dozen meals at once. The more you look at the picture the weirder it gets. But who is this guy and why was he doing all this?
A few days ago a video appeared on Reddit showing probably the most dedicated courier in Hungary. Although the video’s quality was so bad that it could have even been a UFO sighting, later on, better pictures emerged.
Who and why?
These are probably the questions all the readers are having now so let’s try to dig up more information. The courier in the picture can be seen carrying different meals from different companies like KFC, McDonald’s and Pizza Hut. However, this is just the start because if we look at it more closely, we can discover other hidden details too. On the back of the courier, we can see the blue Wolt backpack which is a prominent food delivery service in the country. The bicycle is also an unusual mode of transport because couriers use publicly available bikes provided by MOL. Interesting additions to the overall appearance are the mask or helmet and the Asian conical hat too.
Mysteries everywhere, but what could this all mean? According to many, the courier might not even be a courier after all. Commenters pointed out that the bags are most likely empty by the way they move. It is possible that we have witnessed an artistic project which was meant to raise awareness of the work overload of labourers. Another theory is that it is a marketing act by one of the companies whose logo is visible in the picture.
Was he really an employee?
Telex.hu inquired about the incident at the Wolt headquarters, but they could not tell what was going on. Due to privacy and technical reasons, only in case of an official inquiry, they could check whether the courier was working for them or not. However, they noted that a situation like this during an actual delivery would be highly unlikely. During delivery, a courier can only keep three orders at once. Physical capabilities are also taken into account when pairing orders and couriers. Furthermore, a courier is obliged to keep all orders inside the bag, so their employee would not be allowed to carry extra bags.
The true motives behind the incident still remain unknown. But the effort put into his costume shows that the mysterious courier had been well-prepared.
