في أغلب مدن العالم ومع الثورة المعلوماتية الطاغية على حياة الإنسان، أصبحت الخصوصية للأفراد مكشوفة وخاصة من قبل المؤسسات التجارية المختلفة، من خلال تطبيقات التواصل الاجتماعي تعرف هذه الشركات اهتمامك وميزانيتك وعنوانك ومتى تصحو وتنام في مكانك مهما كنت في منطقة بعيدة عن صخب المدينة، من يشاهد شوارع المدن ومنها مدننا الخليجية لا يتصور هذا المشهد من حشود عمال التوصيل المتحركين فيها خلال أغلب ساعات الحياة فيها ليلاً أو نهاراً، هؤلاء العمالة تجوب الشوارع وتوصل الطلبات من كل الأنواع وخاصة المأكولات والمشروبات للمنازل. البعض من هذه العمالة يستخدم الدراجات النارية، وهي الأغلب، وسيارات تعتبر صغيرة الحجم، موضوع لماذا شعوبنا أدمنت على هذا السلوك المبالغ فيه والذي له أضرار متعددة منها الصحي والاقتصادي والاجتماعي، فهذه العمالة في أغلبها تأتي من دول وبيئات ثقافية واجتماعية مختلفة، ناهيك عن أوضاعها الاقتصادية الصعبة، تأتي لمنطقتنا منذ عقود وتعمل وتجد الظروف الملائمة لها في دولنا. من يتابع تحويلات الأجانب من دولنا يجدها بالمليارات، عمالة الماضي كانت في عزلة وظروف عمل بعيدة عن المجتمعات المحلية وبعض الدول وضعت مناطق ومجمعات سكنية لها، وكلنا يتذكر الشركات الكورية الجنوبية في فترة الطفرة في سبعينات القرن الماضي.
عمال التوصيل الآن يعتبرون ضرورة لأجيالنا الحالية، وسوف تتغير أشكال وأخلاقيات التعاطي معهم، فهم يظلون مختلفين عنا لغة وثقافة ومفاهيم ثقافية، ويعملون تحت ظروف صعبة في عمليات التوصيل المطلوبة منهم أو محاولة السرعة في أداء عملهم لتحقيق كسب سريع، لا أدعو إلى المعاملة الخشنة معهم أو نبذهم والتعامل معهم بتعالٍ وفوقية، ولكن يجب علينا الاحتفاظ بخصوصيتنا إلى أبعد حد، وعدم توثيق العلاقة مع مندوب توصيل لا نعرف عنه الكثير، قد تكون بعض العوائل لها ظروف خاصة وضعيفة لأسباب متعددة مثل كبار السن أو أن يكون ساكنو المنزل من النساء مثلاً، والبعض من طيبته وإنسانيته وانطلاقاً من قيمه وأخلاقه الذاتية قد يعطف على البعض منهم ويقدم له مالاً أو ما إلى ذلك، وقد يعطي انطباعاً بأنه صاحب ثروة مثلاً، ويكون محط أنظار البعض من ضعفاء النفوس من هذه الفئات. الوضع ليس بهذه الخطورة حتى الآن، ولكننا نقرأ ونسمع عن مآسٍ تصل للاعتداء والقتل في بعض مدننا لبعض الناس الطيبين من قبل بعضهم، والسبب هو الطيبة الزائدة من بعض الأشخاص، في أغلب الثقافات يرددون على مسامع أطفالهم في مراحل حياتهم نصائح تحذرهم من التحدث للغرباء أو أن الخطر يأتي من الغريب، وهذا باعتقادي من أحد الحلول للتعاطي مع مناديب التوصيل، وأن لا نفتح القصص والحكايا معهم وعن دولهم وعوائلهم وكم رواتبهم وكم من السنين لهم في البلد، علينا أن نكون محددين في التعاطي معهم بشكل مؤدب وفعال في إيصال الخدمة وبشكل سريع.
لا يعني هذا عدم وجود أدوار مهمة من قبل الجهات الرسمية ذات العلاقة في تنظيم وتدريب هذه العمالة التي تغلغلت في حياتنا، ولا يترك العمل في هذه المهنة لأصحاب شركات همهم الربح المادي بدون تقدير خطورة إحضار عمال بدون كشف ومعرفة عن خلفياتهم الثقافية والاجتماعية كما تطبق بعض الدول، حيث تطلب من مكاتب العمل تدريب الخادمات على العمل في المنازل وخلفية معقولة عن المجتمع الذي سوف يذهبن إليه.

In most cities around the world, and with the overwhelming information revolution in human life, individual privacy has become exposed, especially by various commercial institutions. Through social media applications, these companies know your interests, budget, address, and when you wake up and sleep in your location, no matter how far you are from the hustle and bustle of the city. Anyone who observes the streets of cities, including our Gulf cities, cannot imagine the scene of the crowds of delivery workers moving through them during most hours of life, day or night. These workers roam the streets delivering orders of all kinds, especially food and beverages, to homes. Some of these workers use motorcycles, which are the majority, and small-sized cars. The question arises as to why our people have become addicted to this exaggerated behavior, which has multiple harms, including health, economic, and social issues. Most of these workers come from different cultural and social backgrounds, not to mention their difficult economic situations. They have been coming to our region for decades, working and finding suitable conditions in our countries. Those who follow the remittances of foreigners from our countries find them in the billions. The labor of the past was isolated and worked under conditions far from local communities, and some countries established areas and residential complexes for them. We all remember the South Korean companies during the boom in the 1970s.
Delivery workers are now considered a necessity for our current generations, and the forms and ethics of dealing with them will change. They remain different from us in language, culture, and cultural concepts, and they work under difficult conditions in the delivery operations required of them or in trying to speed up their work to achieve quick earnings. I do not advocate rough treatment or disdain towards them, nor dealing with them with arrogance and superiority, but we must maintain our privacy to the greatest extent possible and not document the relationship with a delivery representative we do not know much about. Some families may have special and vulnerable circumstances for various reasons, such as the elderly or if the household residents are women, for example. Some, out of their kindness and humanity and based on their personal values and morals, may show compassion to some of them and offer them money or the like, which may give the impression that they are wealthy, for instance, making them a target for some individuals with weak morals from these groups. The situation is not that dangerous yet, but we read and hear about tragedies that lead to assault and murder in some of our cities against some good people by others, and the reason is excessive kindness from some individuals. In most cultures, they repeat to their children during their life stages advice warning them against talking to strangers or that danger comes from the unknown. I believe this is one of the solutions for dealing with delivery representatives, and we should not open stories and tales with them about their countries and families, their salaries, and how many years they have been in the country. We need to be specific in our interactions with them in a polite and effective manner to deliver the service quickly.
This does not mean that there are no important roles for the relevant official bodies in organizing and training this workforce that has infiltrated our lives. The work in this profession should not be left to company owners who are solely concerned with financial profit without considering the dangers of bringing in workers without revealing and knowing their cultural and social backgrounds, as some countries implement, where they require labor offices to train domestic workers on working in homes and provide a reasonable background about the society they will go to.
