ATTENTION ALL RESTAURANTS AND TAKEAWAYS THAT DO DELIVERIES WITH INDEPENDANT DRIVERS - BEWARE!
LONG POST INCOMING!
WARNING - We advertised and got a new driver last sunday and then again this sunday. Those who got deliveries from us will know who it is!
Last week went well. Fast forward to this week and she text to say she had a flat tyre near the end of the night and that she would drop the money she owed me off. As i normally cash my drivers in at the end of the night. Ive never had a theif deliver for me before. That did not happen! I sent her a total that she owed and said she can either drop off the money or transfer it. She said ahe was coming to get her meal for the night and she would give me the cash. She didnt turn up and didnt answer my messages. On Tuesday she then send a portion of the money to the restaurant bank account, saying she thought that was the amount. When i told her it wasnt, the games began! She told me the minimum her bank account would allow her to transfer is £30! So she asked if i would send her the money back and she would send the full amount! Erm no! She is now completely ignoring me. After texting me until past 1.30am!
I want to stress that it is a small amount left over, but it is the principal of the thing and also, doing that to a small business you should be ashamed of yourself! I want to add, this person and her family have been customers before!
I would not like to see this happen to any other business on a larger scale. Stupidly, she mentioned the places she also delivers for, so i will let them know too. I have her car make, model, reg number, their names and pictures for any business owners concerned about her and her partner doing the same to them.
