Protocol for takeaway delivery men/women and first floor flats 19:50 - Apr 25 with 9111 views | unbelievablue | 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. J | |

This is purely hypothetical, I must add. Just an interesting debate among flatmates. I've run well today, happily! | |

Protocol for takeaway delivery men/women and first floor flats on 23:10 - Apr 25 with 7934 views | gainsboroughblue | 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. | |

Protocol for takeaway delivery men/women and first floor flats on 11:46 - Apr 26 with 7666 views | Stenvict | 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. | |

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! | | | |
