Reply to: What is it about Take Away Delivery Drivers

[EternalOptimist]

I had one delivery guy asked me why the curtains had been closed the last couple of times 'because he liked to look into my magnificent front room'

and last week a different guy admired my kitchen 'it's so big and lovely'


no its not. you turd. now drop me curry and ***** the ***** off you f** *****

Yes, the hefty tax on your meager salary and none on dividends, if I may say so!

The hefty tax on my company profits

Not sure in which decade you went to the Uni, so cannot comment on how updated you are about the subject.

Very.

Wonderful attitude.

It's true. The "everyone should go to university" dogma is partly why the government is no longer able to subsidise university fees in the same way.

I doubt you tip the girl on the till at Tesco, why should delivery drivers be able to send kids to uni but not her?

I pay taxes on my income to support the state.

Any you don't need to support your kids, they can get a lovely loan

And they probably shouldn't be going to uni, too many people are.

Wonderful attitude.

And how do you know if they are working to send their kids to university?

So what? I doubt they spent years at university and worked hard to become highly skilled.
£12+/hr for driving about is pretty high.

Compared to your day rate ... ?!

you do know what these drivers do to your food on the way to your home? And you still eat it?

How do you know what they do unless it's your side job?

That's only if you ask for the special sauce

they give the special sauce to Woohoo regardless, they know his wife likes it.

I generally don't tip delivery drivers, I didn't really think it was the etiquette in the UK. If he gets a quid off each delivery he could be making more on tips than his wage!

Plus, I feel takeaways are too expensive these days. Ordering a curry costs as much as going to a restaurant, or more!

Always remember going to Disney years ago. Walking around Pleasure Island and they had stalls selling beer. If I remember it was $3 for a beer (shows how long ago it was).
Guy was there flipping the lids off probably doing 1 a minute minimum.

Gave him $5 note. He was well cheesed off when I stuck out for hand for the change! Most people just let him keep it.
Bollox was I pay some fella probably $100+ per hour for flipping a lid off the bottle.

Service in a restaurant fair enough but this was nuts.

Yes, I think it was PG Tips

Was it Tommy Cooper that used to stuff a tea bag into taxi drivers etc top pocket and say 'Here, have a drink on me...'
