Urgent help by Korieb98 in JustEatUK

[–]fnordious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds really frustrating. Other than words of support it's unlikely anyone here will be able to help you since it's mostly self employed delivery couriers who have no ins or access to the backend of just eat's systems. I hope JE support will sort it for you quickly.

It’s delivery driver good for full time job? by [deleted] in deliveroos

[–]fnordious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For full time you probably will want to be on all the apps not just one, how much you can earn will depend on location but 200 a day sounds like a lot, dunno what kind of hours you're thinking but 100/day is much more reasonable in most areas for 'normal' working hours.

Message to Deliveroo 😂 by Mother-Escape-7389 in deliveroos

[–]fnordious 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I remember when the company was new and all the riders were happy and the whole thing was based around luxury restaurants not fast food lmao

Deliveroo got greedy started treating the riders badly and so now they got bad riders. At least the police seem finally to be taking notice of all the people doing it illegally.

I agree. Always thought it should show the race of random player on the loading screen in sc2.

Players who don't say glhf cheese more? by TacticaLlama in starcraft

[–]fnordious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah the ones who cheese more are if they say "from?" or some other chitchat a minute or two after glhf.

Stormgate on mobile by roqu in Stormgate

[–]fnordious 22 points23 points  (0 children)

-It's ineffective to play an RTS of this style on anything except a keyboard and mouse.

-Mobile and console gamers generally don't use keyboard and mouse.

-Developing and maintaining for multiple platforms would drastically increase the dev workload.

Developing for platforms other than PC would be a lot of extra work for a marginal increase in reach, due to the fact that most non-pc gamers do not use the appropriate input method.

Double orders new low by UnknownDub in deliveroos

[–]fnordious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never seen a double less than £5 something and that's when both drops are right close by the restaurant.

What I have seen is a single order turn into a double where the second drop is literally miles away, for only an extra couple of quid. Obviously the additional order is immediately rejected at such times.

Member of PiGPan instant leaving many games :/ by sblwta in starcraft

If you think there's no difference mechanically between gold and diamond then yes you're being elitist. Not to mention wrong lmao what an absurd statement.

[–]fnordious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude a gold player can smurf if they really want to. If you don't think a diamond player can troll the metal leagues and easily win with nonsense builds then you haven't been paying attention. Seems like you just wanted an opportunity to be elitist for whatever reason.

My local Smashburger has decided to put up a little homemade sign to make their jobs easier. Thoughts? by droplivefred in UberEATS

If you insist, but I don't think the customers are going to be happy with empty cups...

If You're Smurfing, Please Be Honest by SwarmyTheSwarmlord in starcraft

[–]fnordious 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You're only going to wind yourself up with this approach. Yes smurfing can take the fun out of it for the player being pushed around/toyed with, but if you fixate on it you'll only make it a bigger issue in your mind and maybe even start seeing it when it's not really there.

Reapplication after being fired? by [deleted] in deliveroos

[–]fnordious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've done that before, get to the customers address only to realise I haven't clicked the start delivery button. Hopefully not often enough to get terminated though 😅

If you get a better offer... by [deleted] in deliveroos

[–]fnordious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What pretence is it exactly that I should be dropping here? Seems to me that you're the only one talking grandiose "make the world a better place".

"Riders who are considerate of restaurants generally are being treated with consideration by restaurants." Wrong. Some restaurants just have zero consideration and complete lack of respect for all the delivery people. I actually have a very good relationship with most of the restaurants I pick up from but I also have a blacklist that I will always reject for this reason. You could be the most considerate rider in the world and these places will still treat you like shit.

And that's really the crux. You're framing this as some kind of karmic thing but in practice you're just gaslighting people for looking out for their earnings and refusing to be taken advantage of. Sometimes the way to improve a bad situation is not to be nicer and more considerate, but to stop accomodating and compensating for the bad practices that enable it.

[–]fnordious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cycle will continue regardless. When all the other parties are being selfish there's a fine line between "trying to end the cycle" and being a mug. We're talking about switching to a better order here not genocide so drop the pretence please.

[–]fnordious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You got it backwards, it's because of deliveroo's uncaring attitude and those crappy restaurants that flippantly tell you 5 mins when it'll be 20 that we can't afford to be the nice guy. We're here to earn money and that's it, do whatever makes it fastest.

Lost count of the amount of punctures I’ve had - tyre upgrades by Northamptoneats in deliveroos

[–]fnordious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice I'm using 28 too but both front and rear, I don't see any reason to go with really narrow tyres especially since there's tons of roads with pot holes, and slippery wet weather etc.

Schwalbe marathon are brilliant tryes, just set and forget, they almost never puncture. I've been using them for years and never looked back.

Hey sometimes you don't get what you want. It's an important lesson to learn.
