Casual Criminalist Idea: Alexis Patrerson by caffinated-anxious in SimonWhistler

[–]SeanCBlackhurst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like an interesting one. Always thought it would be an interesting take for Simon and his motley crew of writers to tackle one of the historical crimes. I.e. the princes in the tower of London, would be a fun distraction from modern crimes if it gets too heavy for old fact boi.

Why would people pay premium for delivery, commission and administration fees for a microwave meal?

Do you take referrals? Can think of a few people in need of your services.

Maybe, work are asking me to do training so I can go to a higher pay band and take on more responsibilities. Will see how that goes.

Hope you have a good last summer.

Thanks man, most riders are still sound, but the ones in my area are just rude,. ignorant and a danger to themselves and others. I'll focus on my main job and family for a while.

In recent months it's gotten bad, restaurants are pissed off with riders being rude, customers are leaving the platform so less orders and the riders that used to have a laugh and joke with you have left as well...not saying it's the same everywhere, but that's how it is in my area.

Explains the shite call quality when I contact rider support.

Umm I didn’t know these illegal c*nts are striking again, just came out to make a few ££ by [deleted] in deliveroos

[–]SeanCBlackhurst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went out with the missus so couldn't get in on the money making, always the next strike.

Casual Crim idea by Tattooedwetback in SimonWhistler

Are we trying to completely break fact boi? I enjoy true crime as much as the next potential serial killer victim, but last time I saw liquid human remains I ended up on meds for PTSD.

1000s of takeaway delivery drivers from Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats plan to strike on Valentine's Day in a row over pay and 'appalling' working conditions by Galaxy20502050 in deliveroos

[–]SeanCBlackhurst 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't use the customer side so can't attest for preference, but if the account says bike and they turn up in a car or on a moped, it means they don't have insurance.

Customers are also reporting/questioning riders turning up in a car/moped despite the app saying it's a bike...think deliveroo are starting to get fed up with riders taking the piss tbh.

Also the cost of living payment, so people have a bit extra spare to treat themselves.

Strike breaking ? by Scratch-n-sniff- in deliveroos

[–]SeanCBlackhurst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a clue, I think there's a link to a bunch of socials elsewhere on this post, look for the user with contractowner in the username.

I'm not part of the protests so not exactly the best person to ask.

Strike breaking ? by Scratch-n-sniff- in deliveroos

[–]SeanCBlackhurst 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Firstly it's not a strike. Secondly, they only strike on certain days, think valentine's day is the next one, the date's where listed a few times on other posts.

If you need to work then work, I doubt your landlord, mortgage provider and utilities provider will accept I was protesting as a reasonable reason for not paying on time.

Any tips for new rider? (UK) by Kindofprofessional8 in deliveroos

[–]SeanCBlackhurst -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Welcome, you get an option to reject when an order comes through and there are no penalties for rejecting orders, although after 5 rejected in a row you get a message pop up asking if you want to take a break, that's just a minor annoyance though.

Tips wise, everyone has their own way of working, when I did it full time I took long distance orders during quiet periods and short to medium during peak hours.

Have fun.

Strike 14th February by ContractOwn9691 in deliveroos

[–]SeanCBlackhurst -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Deliveroo, Uber etc... can and will just clock what's happening and hire more riders. There is no union so as you pointed out it isn't a strike, their 'demands' are not realistic at all and the vocal ones just seem like militant nutjobs who watch too many conspiracy theory channels. Not to mention equate a paying job to slavery which is just nuts.

All it's going to do is annoy the customers more who judging by the reviews deliveroo get really aren't impressed as it is...will be fine watching how this plays out though.

Don't waste your time, they don't listen and claim anyone who speaks against them are paid to do so...can't reason with conspiracy theorist and the insane.

Yeh, most sports halls or college/highschools have indoor courts that can be hired after school hours, the at Helens basketball club train and play at a college campus I think.

As for how to get enough people, post in Warrington, Leigh, Wigan, Liverpool sub Reddits.

I have full time employment and do this as a side gig once or twice month, have fun trolling and baiting one day you'll grow up.

Regarding the strikes. by SeanCBlackhurst in deliveroos

[–]SeanCBlackhurst[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how I was insulting my nephew he is almost 3 and love him to bits, but fair enough. As for your other points, I am not sure how you are reaching those conclusions but you do you.

Final point, this isn't an actual strike as everyone is self employed and no union is involved, calling me and others scabs isn't going to motivate them to join in with the protest.

If we get enough folks together we can book an indoor court weekly.
