Title: FREENOW MEDICAL DISCOUNTS SHOULD APPLY TO ALL!!!! ESSENTIAL WORKERS
Post by: dublin2018 on April 05, 2020, 06:58:04 pm
Lads I dont do freenow ,but I think 50% off fares ,should include .

1.OAPS

2.GARDAI

3.SUPERMARKET WORKERS

4.FIREMEN & AMBULANCE MEN

5.DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL WORKERS

6.ALL GOVERNMENT DEPT WORKERS

7.TDS AND SENATORS

8.TAXIMEN (THAT OFF FOR PANDEMIC ISOLATING THAT NEED SHOPPING ETC...)

9.DELIVERY MEN (DOMINOS ETC)

10.PHARMACY WORKERS

I really do think all above are keeping the wheels moving in our country ,is there any FREENOW representatives on here that could recommend changes as not fair on the above WORKERS BEING LEFT OUT.Im not sure is Bill and dave on this group or any of the Freenow Management.If I missed out any other key workers I apologise PLEASE ADD BELOW.

I think the free now drivers should pay the passengers, for the pleasure of driving them around.  ;)

When will we be virus free now?
It will take months or even years for life to return to the way it was before, and there are concerns that we could be caught in a cycle of lockdowns until a vaccine or cure is found.At the moment we in Ireland are buying time as virus is so nasty and evil.Just hope vaccine comes rapidly fingers crossed.We dont want a wave situation with it.

Why should any Taxi Driver have to drive anybody around at a reduced rate, FFS any guys that are out there (I'm not one) are doing it maybe because they have to.

 If freenow or any other Fcuks want to discount fares let them do it out of there own pocket.

Maybe FN should have got their Ambassador army to transport the HSE staff around for free  , now that would have been a very christian gesture, god knows these drivers have made enuf rent while the rest of us have to play 2nd fiddle.

Bit like waiting for sloppy 2nd's

I agree, all essential workers should be treated the same... and with the utmost respect.

For the drivers covering the work it's obviously more about working for the greater good and contributing to saving lives than making money. They're obviously not making ends meet at those rates.

If drivers are covering for essential surely that makes them essential workers and therefore they should be entitled to some sort of privileges .

But without Freenow, we are in trouble as we be swamped with Breadvans and prius in areas we work.The Freenow heads do all the Shiiite work. So its in our interest the freenow jockeys continue to do that work.Freenow drivers are robotic and follow the maps and ding dings on there phones.Are there freenow representatives on here .I remember Bill & Dave from Hailo few years back .Think they went to mytaxi  and on to freenow not sure. Are they on this site??.If so Ask them to organise more free food for there fleet keeps them happy.

Discounts to passengers should be at the discretion of the Driver. Discounts to Drivers  would be FreeNow's  Department   (but I wouldnt hold my breath)

It is up to drivers whether they cover the discounts or not. The jobs are optional.
