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

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

Originally posted by d000hg View PostI 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!
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.
