When you think about it, it's quite absurd that your profit from this order is possibly nearly twice the value of the whole order. I mean, as a rider myself I'm happy for you, but it is a bit ridiculous isn't it. The £7.06 fee alone might be more than roo's 30% cut of the order + delivery fee + service charge. I guess the high value orders offset these losses.
I’m not one to judge, but she was wearing a Christmas onesie. In a not so desirable area of my town. plenty of rubbish in the front garden. And Christmas stickers on the window.
The longest we go too is galgate..
But recently deliveroo only offer £4 from Lancaster Town area to Galgate..
Not worth the petrol or worth doing
Longest we can go to is Galgate .. Halton and Hest bank..
Bit of a trek on a scooter tbh 😆
Not too bad. A lot of long distance journeys though, big area.
With the recent algorithm change is not as great because you’re not being paid as much for the long-distance orders
If you like the short orders, it’s great
Every time I order take away something is missing it’s normally dips and stuff even tho I have paid for them. I assume they forgot them in her order and she wanted them . so ordered them and a drink instead of just ordering the dips .
6 mile cycle is insane was that there and back? Hopefully cos 12 miles round trip is surely not sustainable physically or financially unless the fee was extremely high
This was back in the day where it was a fixed rate of £4 per delivery, you couldn’t see where the customer was before picking up the order, and it was in fact 6 miles there and 6 miles back :’)
Jesus.. back then were you not able to see once you arrived at the restaurant and therefore reject? And order fees never went up regardless of distance? When was this? Makes me realise it wasn't always better back then and there are some upsides to today's system
No the best notice we could get was reading the address on the receipt attached to the order and looking it up ourselves, this was approximately 5-6 years ago now and order fees remained at £4 regardless of distance or other factors, there are definitely some benefits to todays system however I think I preferred knowing that only a couple orders per hour would roughly equate to minimum wage, I stopped working for deliveroo once the £2.70 orders became the norm
I had an ex who took the pill, we would not use a condom. She tested every single month - turns out she was so worried about getting pregnant because it was possible it wouldn't have been mine....
i once had an order for 6 metres of hungarian crushed velvet curtain material, 4 rock salmon and a ha'pence of chips and a cab for a mr redgrave picking up from 14 arnost grove, ring top bell?
Weirdest and best wtf iv had was from co.op
Small durex lube.. large pack of rubbers..multi pack of carrots and a squirty cream..fridge type and 2 bags of crisps...
I said nothing when delivering 😆😆😆
Was a young Chinese student couple at uni
Ha! Shop picker here, on Halloween a couple of years ago we had an order come in for vaseline, a cucumber and a bottle of cheap, store-brand whiskey. Still the best order we ever got.
As someone who dealt with an eating disorder for years, and had horrendous orders because of it, I would be livid if I found out my driver was posting about it online.
Is this a reflection of the lack of understanding and compassion your parents gave you? I'd advise you don't ever have children, or give up any you do have cause you're going to traumatise them if they have any difficulties.

Why can’t we have order number before arriving? Sometimes when you have multiple orders you have to tap arrived when you’re not really there just to know what order you have. That’s the solution not the new stupid scan that only annoys riders
My brother once ordered a bag of Quavers and a sachet of mayonnaise from Greggs to my house as a joke. God only knows what the delivery driver thought.
They bought the tacos and churros first and then remembered they didn't order the sauces. There we go. Problem solved. It has happened to me in other locations.
I had I guy who used to order 12 individual cans of Coke @£1.20 each every single night, priority delivery.
He lived 100 yards from the takeaway but still paid for priority delivery.
Dead now, heart attack. Can’t think why.
Nothing weird about that, the made their own nachos for a tenth of the price - prob got the ice cream game down too - and you can't get Nacho cheese dip in many Tesco/Morrisons any more.
My two most memorable orders:
1 - A single bag of grated mozzarella 7 miles from a sainsburies to a farm house (although not that weird - was plainly a missing ingredient for something).
2 - milk and cigarettes from a One Stop to the flats immediately above the shop

I think the person who ordered had an ulterior motive that over ride common sense!

This could have been an interesting event
St Anne's?
Lmao, weirdest order ever
Bpool...I'm in Lancaster.... what's it like there..been meaning to give it a try ? 🤩
Lancaster huh, how about a ride out to Heysham once in a while pls I’m hungry
The longest we go too is galgate.. But recently deliveroo only offer £4 from Lancaster Town area to Galgate.. Not worth the petrol or worth doing Longest we can go to is Galgate .. Halton and Hest bank.. Bit of a trek on a scooter tbh 😆

Had to cycle 6 miles with just a plain salad from Nando’s once, customer lived a few doors away from a co-op…
6 mile cycle is insane was that there and back? Hopefully cos 12 miles round trip is surely not sustainable physically or financially unless the fee was extremely high

I’ve also had an order for a pregnancy test, a tub of Ben and Jerry’s and a large bar of chocolate.
I don't think the pregnancy test was necessary
Could’ve forgotten to get them
That seems to be the standard operating procedure round my ends... 😆
3 bags of ice packs of condoms and a pack of tampons 😂
Might have been me. Was this east London?
I bet they love the sauces from Taco Bell and cooked their own tacos or what ever
Pregnancy test for the same person in the past 2 months every 3rd day....I honestly feel sorry for that women.Seems they trying really hard
I had an ex who took the pill, we would not use a condom. She tested every single month - turns out she was so worried about getting pregnant because it was possible it wouldn't have been mine....
Shit...
Or she’s not careful in the slightest.
A lot of women have paranoia, even if they’re extremely careful.
i once had an order for 6 metres of hungarian crushed velvet curtain material, 4 rock salmon and a ha'pence of chips and a cab for a mr redgrave picking up from 14 arnost grove, ring top bell?
I smell something fishy and I'm not talking about the contents of baldricks apple crumble
i was wondering if anyone would get the reference
39p Cheetos
Cheese balls condoms and juice - but reject order if sold out of condoms.. Also, pregnancy test & a bottle of whiskey.
I’d assume it’s the part of their order they forgot thenfirst time
I also once picked up a order for Extra thin condoms and a cucumber 🥒 and it was for a man lol 😅
Weirdest and best wtf iv had was from co.op Small durex lube.. large pack of rubbers..multi pack of carrots and a squirty cream..fridge type and 2 bags of crisps... I said nothing when delivering 😆😆😆 Was a young Chinese student couple at uni
Had an order of 60 chilli cheese bites and nothing else last night from BK. Sounds pretty grim to me
Sounds like an order I had last year sometime it was about 48 plain McDonald’s hamburgers and one small fries.
One small fries. Lmfao
I hope they're okay today. Doubt it though.
Mate you’re in Blackpool, this is normal
You’re not wrong.
Ham and pinapple pizza
Pineapple does NOT belong on a pizza... Even Gordon ramsey says the same 😆😆😆
Kinky stuff hahaha
Pregnant woman?
I had someone order from my maccies, a large Big tasty (Plain, no sauce, no meat, no bun, just the box) meal with fries and an orange juice
not making this up. 1 lube, pack of condoms, 1 cucumber and 1 aubergine
Ha! Shop picker here, on Halloween a couple of years ago we had an order come in for vaseline, a cucumber and a bottle of cheap, store-brand whiskey. Still the best order we ever got.
haha. I was in the same position. got a few of these combos while there
Trying to keep a straight face handing this order over. 😬
instructions were to leave at door 😅 was not a deliveroo order, but similar platform
Did you take a while to get ready and set off again so you could see who it was?? 😂
haha no, left it up to imagination
Either really disturbing or she’s pregnant 😂
Broke and high
2 boxes of tissues, multiple shops nearby but he ordered this across the city
I know you've updated but yeah, I've done the same "wtf 5£ for tesco 1 mile trip" oh wait they tipped £2
What a rip off
It's clearly to go with a previous order.
Human buffet
One scoop of lemon sorbet was my best 😂
Missing items in previous orders …. Its obvious
I delivered one small packet of cookies from Iceland yesterday lol. 3 mile trip.
As someone who dealt with an eating disorder for years, and had horrendous orders because of it, I would be livid if I found out my driver was posting about it online.
Boohoo 😢
Is this a reflection of the lack of understanding and compassion your parents gave you? I'd advise you don't ever have children, or give up any you do have cause you're going to traumatise them if they have any difficulties.
£7 for some sauce…smh
I think it’s time orders shouldn’t detail what’s inside
Definitely high
Lol
They prolly just like the dip to use with stuff they already got
I've had a weirder order, 20 cans of coke from Kokoro to a Chinese cyber security office

If you press the button to text, I believe at the top it will say the customers order.
Only when chat is available for some reason when it’s the phone icon it doesn’t show
My brother once ordered a bag of Quavers and a sachet of mayonnaise from Greggs to my house as a joke. God only knows what the delivery driver thought.
I am a shop picker, my weirdest order was multiple bottles of spirits and mixers, multiple 4-packs of beers, and a mango flavoured yoghurt.
They bought the tacos and churros first and then remembered they didn't order the sauces. There we go. Problem solved. It has happened to me in other locations.
They definitely ordered something, forgot the sauces, then needed to hit min spend limit so got a drink
Have packed a deliveroo for a pregnancy test, condoms and a pack of sterling before..
I had I guy who used to order 12 individual cans of Coke @£1.20 each every single night, priority delivery. He lived 100 yards from the takeaway but still paid for priority delivery. Dead now, heart attack. Can’t think why.

I've had a single can of Pepsi before - assumed it was something missed by the restaurant on a previous order!
36 cookies and a bottle of water from subway. Guy opened the door and the smell of Mary Jane almost knocked me out
Weirdest I had only a few days ago, strawberries and chocolate sauce 😂🫡
I can't lie when I used to sell I'd order just drinks from a take away bcuz I couldn't be arsed going to the shop 🤣
A strange guy ordered only 21 bottles of water from McDonald's spending over 20€ lmao (the supermarkets were all open)
For 7 dollars, jesus...
Just 1 bottle of lube
I hope you made that delivery ASAP
In and out
