Fastest delivery man ever

I ordered Indian food for dinner and the delivery guy was at our house in under 10 minutes It's just a shame that you can't tip anyone here or I would have given him a big one

Wow that's a speedy delivery

impressive !!!

Why's that??

Quick timing though. "40 minutes my friend" where I live.

Thats amazing. I live 3 mins drive from loads of takeaways and they are simular in the way that the delivery ends in 10 mins. Just a shame they put an hour in front of it

Out of interest why can't you tip there?

The no tipping is a cultural thing. The employees are all paid a decent wage and tips are seen as a handout. In the US and other countries I've lived in waitresses are paid about half of what the minimum wage is and the rest is made in tips. Here the waitresses all make like $10 or a little more per hour.

It does take some getting used to though. If you try to tip here at a restraunt the server will run after you to give you your money back

Weren't sure if it was insulting to them or maybe a government thing where undeclared money wasn't allowed. Only 10.26am here and already I've learn't something new. Cheers J

It is seen as a little bit of an insult. I did it once just to see if they really would run after you to return your money After living here for some time I have to remind myself to tip when I am traveling

I probably would of too. I would of waited until the oldest person served me and then tipped and run, give me a chance to get away a bit before they caught up

I rarely tip on business as I can't claim it back , apart from the states where its expected so I always stuck 15% on everything and they always paid up

Feel guilty over here but always tip if I'm paying with my own money . Worst thing now is the bloody credit card machines asking if you want to leave a tip

I actually like tipping with the credit card as I get cash back so it's like a 2% discount.

when i delivered takeaways i was the fastest driver in the northeast i had more people complain for being to early than being late strange but true

I was a pizza delivery guy myself for a few months during the offseason from the beach

load of my mates familys own takeaways so was always indemand somewere i think i was making twice as much in tips then wages lol

Yeah I made alot more off of tips as well
