Check your receipt before take away driver leaves!!!

aligator_am · 07-07-2011 12:16AM #1

Had food delivered about 20 minutes ago for me and the housemate, driver arrives and says it's €13.90, that's grand, it's only when I look at the receipt a few minutes later that I see that total cost (including delivery) is €13.30!

So that poxbottle driver decided to add on his own enforced tip.

I advise all of you to in future check the receipt in the bag before paying up to the driver.

In fairness, I don't think he did it deliberately.
Surely he'd be aware you might look at the receipt.
And he'd screw you for more than 60 cents!

aidan_walsh · 07-07-2011 12:19AM

If I was enforcing my own tip I'd go a little higher than 60c.

Thread title needs more exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!

admiralofthefleet · 07-07-2011 12:20AM

i always ask how much it is when i order and i make sure i have the exact amount when the driver arrives.
they get a flat wage and free food so the greedy fuckers arent getting a tip from me

60 cents!! Fúcking hell! I hope you have left the internet and you are now chasing up the street Terminator stylee. If not, go around there tomorrow and burn the kip, the 60 cents will pay for the repairs.

If he managed to bleed 60c from each customer that would make him a nice few shillings over the week I reckon.

Maybe he didn't do it deliberately but I'm putting this out there so other folk in AH don't have their fast food drivers swindle them "not deliberately",

Standard Toaster · 07-07-2011 12:24AM

In fairness, between the two of you ye spent €6.65 each...what did ye get, a bag of chicken balls each?

Come on, you got someone to deliver that.....I can see how 60c means alot to ya.

JONJO THE MISER · 07-07-2011 12:24AM

This is the exact same logic that let pubs in Temple Bar charge more than other places, sure you'd be stingy not to pay it, it's only 60c.

Hang on a minute, this delivery agent is getting paid a wage, and I'm fairly sure their tips aren't taxed, if I or anyone else chooses to pay them a tip then that's up to me / them, not up to the person delivering the stuff.

Maybe the driver made a genuine mistake, maybe they didn't, but the point of the thread was to get folk to check their receipt before the delivery agent left their doorstep.

I posted this thread to try and help folk not be ripped off, it may be only 60c but it all adds up ya know?

bleg · 07-07-2011 12:38AM

First world problem.

padma · 07-07-2011 12:39AM

It seems like a genuine mistake. 13:30, 13:90, who knows maybe he had two deliveries in the car and the other one was for 13:90, so it could be likely there is a happy customer out there who just got 60 c off their delivery order. That customer could have tipped him the 60 cents.

Take away delivery drivers generally work for 5 euro an hour and 1:50 per delivery. Drive their own car, buy their own petrol, and have to maintain their car and service more than majority of others out there.

Anyone who comes to my door gets a tip. It's how we were raised. The coalman, the milkman, and the postman every Christmas and especially take away drivers. The man just fed you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, clearly the best approach to take when you want to get future tips from a client

But maybe this is one of those clients who lives far away from the store and it's a delivery that costs him petrol money more than he will receive from the pizza owner. And he knows this customer and is peed off with never getting a tip.

Just wondering, if you dropped 60c on the street would you pick it up or leave it there?

Standard Toaster · 07-07-2011 12:48AM

You'll find that most take aways include additional charges if the delivery is outside a set range from their location, and this is very clearly stated on their brochure / menu.

He was probably just collecting the VAT.

Check your receipt before take away driver leaves!!!
