Pizza delivery drivers

    Last weekend I ordered a Pizza from the best known chain in Dublin. The driver turns up in a high powered Audi and delivers my Pizza, no hassle. Ordered a Pizza the following night and the same driver turns up outside my door and cheekily says "your the same person that ordered this last night". I was tempted to say "you're the same person that delivered this last night" but my ability not to be a prick got the better of me. Tonight, I ordered a Pizza from the same crowd and it was delivered again by a total tosser. Guy pulls up in what looked like a Ford Mondeo, real confident kind of guy, south Dublin accent, practically throws the food at me, gets back in his car and drives off. If these guys are such hotshots, they why do they deliver Pizzas for a living? :D

    Too much pizza will give you IBS.

    I'm going to attempt to sway the thread in a certain direction based on being an early post, hopefully the mob will follow my lead and we can have ourselves a nice slice of drama:

    If you're such a hotshot why do you feel the need to disparage these non-hotshots on an online forum?

    PS: No ill-will towards you my friend, I am a slave to this institution y'see :)

    It's just a job dude. What way were they supposed to deliver it? I don't mind having banter on the doorstep with the pizza delivery driver.

    Beats the **** out of chuggers, religious nuts and election candidates. Not to mention tv license inspectors.

    What are you on about? Usually, some cheerful and talkative guy calls around on a Honda 50 and I throw him a few quid as a thank you but recently it's been cocky individuals in high powered cars who've got a real attitude considering they're doing a complete gimp job.

    Dude, don't be a dick.

    Take a few deep breaths and pull your head out of your ass. It probably stinks of pizza up there.

    You should order some chinese food or some other takeaway for a week or two and then compile a detailed notepad of delivery driver habits to compare your pizza friends to. :P

    Gimp job?

    Maybe you look at them like they're doing a gimp job, and that's where the problem starts.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,619 ✭✭✭✭errlloyd


    I love pizza delivery drivers, from what I hear they get paid under minimum and are meant to make it up on tips, but they never loiter or milk tips. In fact sometimes when I pay online they kind of mention it when I reach into my pocket as a reminder that it's paid for, which often makes it seem like they're going out of their way not to milk it.

    If you're such a cool cat, why are you ordering meal deals for one every night??

    That pizza must have been very hot since it got delivered quicker than normal?

    What I currently do for a living is irrelevant. In the past, I've worked in many shite jobs but never had an attitude or thought that I was too good for the job or better than the people I dealt with daily.

    Huh? What are you on about? I usually have one of my bitches over here snuggled up with me laughing at the delivery driver. :D

    The ones that I always find odd are the delivery guys who have their girlfriends with them. Had one guy deliver Chinese and he repeatedly pointed to the girl in the cat and asked " you like? She so sexy, no". I genuinely think that he was trying to pimp her out to hungry individuals.

    Em...you've made it pretty clear that you think you're better than pizza delivery drivers, with their 'gimp jobs'.

    Now that's customer service. What Chinese was that? :D

    I don't get how you can mess up giving a box of pizza to someone and taking money and getting change. Honestly who cares if he's a dick. As long as it's hot on time and the whole transaction is quick who cares.

    Trust me, If the smell coming from my arse was Pizza it would be a good thing. Usually smells like a rotting corpse in here after I've had my dinner.

    Well, it's kinda is relevant.

    You made a point of saying delivering pizza was a "gimp job". I'm wondering what you do, as this most certainly can't be a "gimp job".... Chinese Delivery Driver perhaps?

  • Posts: 15,814 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I know an "artist" whose made a total of €34 from his art over a 12 year career. During that times he's only worked a couple of months stacking shelves and has been drawing the dole for the rest. He went back to college in his late 20s and failed because he couldn't be bothered to hand in his final project or sit one exam. He does nothing all day but talk about his art and drink yet he recently got into a huge argument with the pizza delivery guy because he thought himself superior to the guy working a crappy job.

    3 pizzas in 3 nights.
    I get why you're so bitter at the delivery drivers, I imagine you're not so mobile yourself and they must make you jealous.

    S'ok though, just lay off the pizzas for a while.

    Pizza drivers in my area won't come into my estate, they stop at the main road and ring you asking you to walk out and collect it :(.
