Delivery tips

Odysseus

I just had a pallet of tiles delivered, enough floor tiles for the ground floor, so there was quite a few. Anyway a mate of mine got me a good deal on them saved over e400. So I gave hin a few quid for the running around, using his contacts etc. He is out of work, so I though that was apporpriated.

Anyway I gave the delivery guy a lift in with them, it was COD, so I paid him what was due. He hung around a tad as if I was going to throw him a few quid. Normally I would, but with levies pension levies ect, I quite thight on the monies front, so he left empty handed.

So do you normally throw delivery guys a few euro?

Eh, no. Only if it's a food delivery, look after those guys and you're never waiting long for your food!

Tiles though? Fúck em.

Nope, f*cker gets paid anyway. Not your place to sub him - no matter how used to it he is.

Same here, I'd tip for food deliveries, but not for anything else tbh.

i'd usually sleep with the postman if he delivers more that 4 letters to me in one day.

I don't like cod (more of a herring fan), so they can stick their tip.

a couple of years ago i had a big delivery due from b&q in newry, it was arranged to be there at 4.30 on a thursday and i had 3 mates there to help unload it.

it arrived at 3.oo on the friday while i was at work and the wife was on her own. the two big burly men who were on the truck simply used a crane like attachment to dump the pallets in the road,not even the garden,then watched my wife and 15 year old son unload them into a garage.

they moaned about having to wait for the empty pallets and when i arrived home an hour later they asked for a tip!!!

i went mental,the driver then tried to make out he was polish and did not understand.

i went back to b&q the next day and complained about thier service,thier attiude etc. b&q refunded my delivery charge.

then i spotted the delivery man having a chat with one of the checkout girls in perfect english with a northern accent. i just walked away laughing at the look on his face at being caught.

Spot the contradiction.

I never let anyone into my house delivering since my neighbour had a guy claim after he fell down the stairs delivering chest of drawers a few years ago,and claimed, he broke his ankle and was only out for 8weeks work but cost the neighbour a nice sum think around €7k

I'd would definitely give a decent tip.

Something along the lines of carry two loads of tiles at a time and you''ll knock off quicker, mate.

Serious? How?

The delivery driver would be covered under the companies commercial insurance. Sure if I leave work I'm covered for an hour on it and I work in an office.

What's the logic in only tipping food delivers - leave the tipping culture on the other side of the Atlantic.
