Protocol for takeaway delivery men/women and first floor flats 19:50 - Apr 25 with 9012 viewsunbelievablue

I'll set the scene. To reach my flat block you have to turn off the road and pass, immediately, through a set of automatic gates, driving round the back of the road facing block of flats and into a rear car park, next to which my block, perpendicular to the aforementioned block, majestically lies.

There's one communal front door, with buzzers for each flat, then a brief, minimalist lobby and stairs.

When the delightful gentleman, armed with my Lamb Madras, drives through the gates, round the back, jumps out of his car, and presses the buzzer to flat 29, should I:

A) Pick up the intercom, greet him politely, and 'buzz him up', waiting for the knock at my flat door?
B) Pick up the intercom, greet him politely, inform him 'I'll be right down' and proceed down the stairs to the front of the building?
C) A.N.Other.

Do a lap round the block before eating said madras and call it marathon prep. Receive said Indian delight dressed like a 118 gentleman off of the tele, jog upstairs and consume.

This is purely hypothetical, I must add. Just an interesting debate among flatmates.

I've run well today, happily!

I have the same scenario. I generally buzz him up but stand at open flat door to greet. Maybe I should go down the stairs? Can't say I've given it much thought. I always tip though.

Think you will find there actual protocol is to not enter the flat's, but you will find most will enter and bring it up to you. But company will say don't enter for safety reasons.

When I lived in Sheffield you would receive a call and have to go to their car window and collect the food. The only takeaways that came to your door were Freddy's, Caribbean Spice, Bishops's Cafe.

If I've ordered a takeaway to be delivered to my flat, I expect exactly that. I could easily pick it up myself from the restaurant but I ordered it to be delivered because I'm lazy, therefore I should only need to buzz him/her into the building and answer the door when he/she knocks.

Or if not and you've ordered 10 mins before the shop shuts, are at the very edge of the delivery radius, in a flat on the very top floor in a poorly signposted complex and thus are delaying me getting home to my family then at least consider a tip! :)

I always give a quid to the driver but I had to pay £2 delivery the other night via Justeat.

What is the correct thing to do in this instance?

Don't use Justeat, phone the takeaway directly.

Hmm, not sure there but I think justeat would take all of the delivery fee for themselves. I deliver pizza for a well known chain so there's no delivery fee for the customer but I get £1 for each delivery as standard.

I appreciate every tip, but especially the ones where the customer has already paid but gives me a quid anyway. But if you don't tip, it's all good, it's not a particularly taxing job and we're getting paid anyway! Just being polite will do!
