Greedy Jambo Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 A mate of mine does deliveries for a chippy. 50 quid cash per night and his dinner f.o.c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatever Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Tough gig these days. It’s all cashless so the option o telling the driver to keep the change as he goes slowly digging into his pocket for your £1.70 change from your £20 note is no more. Even less so now as they have to leave the scran on the doorstep and stand well back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you use your car for working (not getting to and from the office) I think your insurance is higher, and you have wear and tear considerations in addition if using it for work. Once you take these off the money you have to ask if its worth it. Edited May 2, 2020 by frankblack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aii then your food turns up late missing half the order. The whole point of tipping is to show appreciation of a good job. Ubber and just eat offering this tip section is a way of just getting the customer to supplement their employees wages. Something they should be doing in their own the greedy ****s.

Tommy Brown Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Daughter and son did it in the past for an Indian in Broxburn. Few years ago now, I sometimes filled in for them. You'll get say £2.50 ave delivery plus tips. Back then (10 yrs ago) on a weekend I would get about £50-£70 on a night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad Magic Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I used to deliver for an Indian take away back in the day. You could make some decent wedge at weekends but the costs to your car are never factored in when young and wreckless. Tyres, brakes, servicing etc are not considered when you are flying about trying to get as many orders delivered as possible. Also the smell of your car on a Monday morning is rather unpleasant! Hardly conducive for getting girls nickers round their ankles!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughesie27 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) Got a chippy the other night. A pizza for me and a fish supper for her. The boy rung the bell then put the food down at the step to social distance. Except he put the pizza right on its side to slide down into a pile of cheese.

Irufushi Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Always lob the driver a few quid, I’ve left it at the door recently with the old covid hanging around. He leaves me the grub I leave him a few bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locky Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I'd imagine delivering for independent takeaways themselves is more beneficial. Think Just Eat are paid hourly, but independent takeaways pay by delivery. Used to help my ex's dad do it for a Chinese in Portobello as he couldn't really do stairs. Had some really shitty, quiet nights, but seen him make £50-75 easily at the right times. Used to love doing it. He'd pay me a tenner, plus let me keep tips from doors I did, and get the free meal at the end. I was only 17 and couldn't find a job so making wee £20 cash in hand and a free Chinese was brilliant.

heartsfc_fan Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I used to be a takeaway driver about 11 years ago. Was a side earner during my last days at uni. Some nights I made the equivalent of £10 an hour. Quiet nights barely £5 an hour. Downside was I had to use my own car and paid my own fuel.
