Have you ever been done out of money by take-aways?

Onesimus

recently I got an indian and was done out of money, I had a few tins in me, was hungry but when I checked the change he had shorted me a lot of dosh of which I handed him a 50 note. It was an Indian take away.

do you feel safe getting these take-away deliveries to your door and if not, why not? have you ever had a bad experience with a take-away delivery? please do tell.

Never.

They always staple the receipt to the bag, at least the Thai / Chinese place I use does.

Thanks to my '50 squids stapled to a rubber band' invention, I am 'up' 13,543 euro & (somewhat remarkably) 20 cent.

I actually order food & throw it out twice a day some days, just to make a few bob.

MrStuffins

If you made a habit of counting your change after financial transactions you wouldn't have that problem!

Indian or no indian!

Why wouldn't you feel safe getting a take away delivered to your door?

Surely you'd go and collect it if that's the case..

I think this is your problem.

Drunks are terrible at managing money, large or small.

Yup!

What you should do is get one of those touch-screen phones. Ever tried to navigate your way around one of those after a few beers? Impossible!

You'd have no chance of ordering Take-Away from Native Americans!

I remember that once when I was at a friends house we had a large order of pizzas, and I had to deal with the money. It was a lot, but being me, I had the change worked out before the guy came.

Guy came, shoved a bunch of notes and coins in my hand and ran off.

Counted it in 2 seconds - €15 missing.

Belted after him to find him already at the gate - the little ****er was half-running.

Ran after him, he turned around and had the €15 ready to give me - said it had been a mistake. Bollix it was.

The only reason I didn't ring Four Star to report yer man was I didn't want to get my friend in trouble with them - he's a good customer, and uses them all the time.

In trouble with them? It's not a bloody school!

I used to work for a pizza place. If you'd have rang us with that complaint you'd have got a serious amount of free food (well, your friend would have)

To be honest there is always the chance that if the guy was well-liked he would have been able to escape punishment, and possibly gotten his friends to sabotage any future pizzas that my friend ordered.

It wasn't my house, so it wasn't my reputation, so it wasn't for me to take even that small risk.
