Topic: My first attempt at Deliveroo

Erik !jzYkdX7lIw started this discussion 6 years ago #92,797

Today I went out and delivered people their food. I enjoyed it more than I expected, started at 12.15 and finished at 15.40 due to only having 5% battery life left and made £31 which included a £3 tip from what I expect was a gay alcoholic.

I feel my legs have had a massive workout and I'm feeling a little wobbly.

All the people I dropped food to seemed quite nice and I've noticed most people who use deliveroo are students or middle class due to the cost.

Why a gay alcoholic?

Is there a predefined radius you work within? Do you select the areas you're willing to cycle to? How does that work?

I didn't ask him but we had a bit of banter as I was delivering wine and I asked him for his ID despite being obviously 50+

Some areas you need to book hours in advance, like they become available on a Monday but some areas are a free login and anyone can work it. Stratford is a free login thankfully and you can get pulled out of your preferred zone if you accept a job on the border, for example my last drop was in Wanstead.

He answered the door in a fancy dressing gown which is why I thought he was gay. He kind of seemed like the type who is a posh boozer. I delivered wine from Majestic wines which was only 5 minutes from his flat

What would happen if you accepted a job, but then ate the food you were meant to deliver?

... You can Deliveroo just wine? Fucking hell, I thought you meant he ordered a Chinese with a bottle of red or something. I guess you can Deliveroo from Co-Op here, but no establishments that only sell alcohol. There's a 24/7 independent drinks service but it's extortionately priced, and the delivery people are rude.

Should've let him invite you in for a cheeky glass or two, tbh.

I just found out you can subscribe to deliveroo and have unlimited deliveries for no extra cost so you can have all your booze delivered to you if you have a local Majestic
