How Does Luckin Coffee Store Work Lead to Weight Loss?

A Luckin Coffee employee reported losing 38 jin in about a month and a half after joining a store in April, with cumulative weight loss now past 45 jin. She attributed it to chronic understaffing that kept her on duty 13 to 14 hours a day, leaving little time to eat. The post drew responses from other Luckin workers describing similar drops of more than ten jin, along with visible arm muscle from hauling supplies.

The weight loss tracks with a jump in order volume driven by low-price delivery promotions, which pushed store crews into long, physically demanding shifts. Several employees said the work built arm definition without any gym time and even improved their posture. The report raises questions about the health risks of losing weight this way, including skipped meals and sustained fatigue.

Recently, a Luckin Coffee employee posted before-and-after body comparison photos from before and after a month and a half on the job on social media, sparking a great deal of discussion. The person involved said that due to a shortage of staff at the store, she had to work 13 to 14 hours straight every day and often had no time to eat, causing her weight to drop 38 jin in a short period, with cumulative weight loss exceeding 45 jin. This phenomenon made many netizens both envious and curious, and also prompted many Luckin employees to share similar experiences: losing more than ten jin, developing muscle definition in their arms, and even improving their posture. However, behind this seemingly "paid weight loss" is the continuous surge in orders triggered by low-price promotions on delivery platforms and high-intensity physical labor. This article will trace the origins and development of this topic and explore the potential health risks that this unconventional weight-loss method may bring.

Recently, a Luckin Coffee employee posted a set of before-and-after body comparison photos from before and after a month and a half on the job on social media, quickly attracting a large number of netizens to look on and discuss.

According to the person involved, she joined a Luckin store in April this year. Because the store had been short-staffed the whole time, she had to be on duty 13 to 14 hours a day, so busy that she barely had time to eat. "Even if I was hungry, I couldn't find the time to eat, and when I finally got a little free time, I was too tired to want to eat at all." After working at this pace for less than a month and a half, she found that she had lost 38 jin. As of now, she says her cumulative weight loss has exceeded 45 jin.

This weight-loss experience quickly aroused the interest of netizens who had long been troubled by weight problems, and also prompted many Luckin employees with successful weight-loss experiences to come forward and share their own stories. They mentioned that while working at Luckin, they not only lost more than ten jin, but also developed visible muscle definition in both arms from frequently carrying large amounts of materials and ingredients. "I've never been to a gym, it was all built working at Luckin," "During my time at Luckin, even my hunched back got better."

Seeing the before-and-after body comparisons of the staff and the arm muscles that show with the slightest flex, many netizens expressed envy and even became interested in the job of a Luckin employee. "You can earn money and save on a gym membership, it's like earning two salaries from one job," "It makes me want to go work there," "If that's the case, I might as well just work part-time at Luckin on weekends."

However, just as everyone was saying they wanted to go to the stores to "transform themselves," some netizens also sighed over such astonishing weight-loss results. "I always thought Luckin only hired skinny people, turns out they got skinny from exhaustion." They believe that the reason Luckin employees can lose dozens of jin in a month and a half must be closely tied to the high-intensity labor they endure.

From social media, it can be seen that recently third-party platforms have continuously launched various promotional activities, triggering users across the internet to scramble for low-price delivery orders, and Luckin employees often report that their stores enter prolonged order-surge states because of 0-yuan purchase orders. The thousands of orders piling up in the system backend turn into invisible yet heavy work pressure, urging staff to keep improving their efficiency.

Many employees admit that the busiest days at the store used to mean maybe only two or three hundred cups a day, but now because of the delivery-platform price war, they may have to make over a thousand cups of coffee in a day, with workload doubling compared with before. In addition, many report that when things get busy they simply have no time to eat or drink water, and are sometimes forced to work overtime. Therefore, under the combined effect of long hours of physical labor and irregular eating, Luckin employees achieve the "fitness results" that others envy.

Although from the outside it may seem quite nice that working at Luckin can also mean "paid weight loss," as some netizens have said, the rapid weight loss achieved through this unconventional method may come at the cost of irreversible damage to the body. For job seekers who want to enter the "Luckin weight-loss boot camp," it is advisable to think carefully.
