Thought for Today

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Work directly with/from the best places they had delivered from before, but this time the delivery fee goes into their own pockets and not Deliveroo.
Maybe, but as far as I understand it, there wasn't enough work from any single outlet to pay decent money to cover the hrs, insurances and costs of setting oneself up as an dependent contractor .... only to have one of the many other delivery mobs to under cut the independent operator until they went to the wall, then put their prices back up.
If they could get enough of the delivery people together to form a cooperative, then maybe they could steal people and customers away from established delivery mobs. I doubt if it was all boiled down to profit and loss, any of them are making money to the point were they could actually employ drivers on a proper employment basis.
With the courts making rules about how the drivers are linked to the delivery companies and the proposed combined worker group legislation travelling through parliament that could well enable their delivery drivers to take combined action across all the delivery platforms, I expect to see even more of these mobs shutting shop

Funny that.
We can’t get Domino’s to deliver to Rutherglen… it’s only 45km.
In the Big Smoke a “local” delivery could be further. 🙄

🤔
If you grab a child and make off with them, it’s called “kidnapping”.

If you grab someone over 18 and make off with them, why is it still called “kidnapping”??

Why isn’t it “adultnapping”?!?!?

Also known as a "scan" (Senior Citizens Afternoon Nap) or nanna nap, very popular as one ages and you get the opportunity 8-) maybe it's reliving our childhood :lol:

No, it doesn't even mean I get to have a SCAN each afternoon either, but you did ask about adultnapping ;) :lol:
