Tech me bollox couldnt get a euro into the shopping trollet in Tesco because someone got 20c coin stuck in it .Manager put a cone in front of the line of trollies said they were stuck .SoI said why dont you put a coin into the second one and remove the first two  and free up the rest of the trollies .If people cant put a coin in a slot or solve a simple problen how the fuck will they cope with staying awake in their driverless cars .

We get our shopping delivered as I don't wanna do anymore (trolley) driving than I have to.Costs a few quid but you'll never get them hours walking around Tesco back.In the future they'll just have the trolley drive around to yer gaff autonomously..

But the time you have to wait inon the delivery is wasted you could of being scratching yourself or doing nothing but now you have to waste time waiting alert for a knock on the door or the ring of a bell ....stressfull time

Me mate worked for them.He says there's no proper route planning.They send the drivers different parts of the city all the time so they rarely get to know places very well.If they were smart they could keep them in one postcode and speed up the delivery times.Must be losing a fortune on the service.

What sort of coin is in delivering packages to gaffs .Last few deliveries came in Enterprise rented vans .Must pay well if you can afford to rent a van or else they cant get couriers and employ the drivers direct ?

I never done it in a van but I'd say it's like our job.Work more and get more money.Except the van driver doesn't have vehicle age restrictions and all the hoops we have to jump through.

Some might be on flat daily rate rather than pay per job.Like everything if you're any good you'll do ok.

I often wonder about that as I often get small nicks and knacks fer a Euro or so delivered free from China.
Fer example my car air vent phone holder cost about a Euro with free delivery, how can that be ?

is there any way to check on the old trade statistics tab to see how many electric taxis there are.
just as a matter of interest.

I had a suitability test yesterday in Cork and asked the inspector that same question, he replied; "Very Few".

Yes.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.
