Yikes, I’ve been there – it really is a shit job. Being chased by large dog that a customer let out sealed the deal for me quitting.
He’s made 12,000 deliveries. He’s doing his job, he doesn’t have to enjoy it. Frankly, I’ve more respect for man earning his wage reliably through something he hates than someone flitting around half arsing something because it’s easy or fun.
Respect to Ranbir. A hero.
I hate this trend that every job gets the public to review you now.
Imagine leaving a review like this. What a cunt. They wrote it to damage his rep. Can’t we just exist anymore without some cunt talking about it online
“Left package in safe place and then told me to fuck off”
Impressive how DPD give zero shits about the kind of reviews that they get…
If you pay someone a measly amount to deliver your stuff to the door because you don’t want to get it yourself, then I don’t think you have the right to complain if the driver tells you the truth about it!
I had a terrible experience with the last courier I used. The guy didn’t even have any Garam Masala
What do you expect? The poor guy is run bare. 🎣
Leaving someone a bad review because they were obviously having a bad day is so petty. I mean, it’s their job, come on think for a second.
Me personally, I would rather leave no review at all than leave a bad one, unless they did something very bad.
I bet they misheard. What he actually said was “can I have a shit by your bins? DPD won’t let me pause for a shit”
I had an Evri delivery once where the driver went off on a tangent about how they ‘make sure they deliver their parcels’ and how disgusted they are when they see corner shops with piles of parcels left because the drivers ‘couldn’t be bothered to actually deliver them’… I could tell they actually ‘deliver their parcels’ as this was at 9:30pm! I was getting ready for bed!
My delivery driver went the extra mile. Now I have to walk a mile to fetch my package
Who on earth is reviewing their delivery drivers‽ And why? It’s not like you can choose who at DPD delivers your parcel.
We ordered a kitchen table from a place and they delivered, and part of the deal was assembly. Agreed to between 7am and 1pm slot, i leave for work at 7, and at 6.59 they rang and asked could they come and do the table, i said sure and 5 minutes later they were at the door, brought the table in and assembled it with loving care, made small chat, pet the cat who tried to steal their box.
Finished up, had me check it and then swept and cleaned the floor, took all their packing with them, as they were leaving, they gave me a card and asked if id leave them a review because there was a bonus of 50 quid a week for the most positive reviews. I was just about to ask about it when the other guy brought our bins back in from the road.
Yeah fuckit, 5* review lads
Effective way to make sure a less than minimum wage worker loses their zero hours “gig”.
Almost certainly something happened to the poor guy for him to say this. Couriers don’t knock on your door and say “my job is shit” as they hand you the parcel. They were probably giving him grief, especially if they jumped on this site to review him.
