Lovely. But you have to speak to the delivery person. And I never know the etiquette about whether you're supposed to tip them or not. A far worse social horror than going into the shop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t tip them, because there is a delivery charge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t tip them just because I never have any cash on me. When I used to pay takeaways with cash I would tip. They never seem to expect a tip to be honest With Uber eats, the rare times I’ve used it, I do as you can do it via the app Edited August 28, 2020 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted August 28, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) Nah. I enjoy a drive to the chippy while the wife butters the bread and puts the kettle on. And we almost never eat takeaway curries, Chinese or pizza anyway. Edited August 28, 2020 by mjmooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely. Dominos online ordering system. A godsend for the one or two times I use it a year. Used to hate ringing up and ordering as they'd inevitably **** the order up. I always tip the delivery guy. Usually a coupe of quid. They seem surprised and grateful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 One of the few positives of the virus is the takeaway delivery drivers just ringing the bell and leaving it on the doorstep, then buggering off as soon as I open the door so I don't have to tip them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we ever have to tip in this country as we get service charges. Different in other countries I guess. I’ll never forget the look of disgust from a barber in Canada when I gave him a 20 for a 16 dollar haircut and waited for the change. I just didn’t know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 NOW TV app on my iPad doesn't work anymore. As my IPad is years old, it can't go higher than a certain IOS version and that is not supported by NOW TV anymore Both subscriptions (Entertainment and Movies) cancelled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were told not to indulge in the apple, but you did, welcome to hell my friend. $1000's of dollars every year on "upgrades" that will only be out phased by a design feature that's main function is to empty your bank account. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its an iPad 4th gen so came out in 2012. I got mine around summer 2013, so i've had a decent run of 7 years and I use it on a near daily basis. NOW TV is the first major steaming app to stop working. Others (Netflix, Britbox, Spotify) still work but I wonder for how much longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair you're not far off, my iPad was the last Apple product I ever bought for the reasons you state. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do deserve criticism in certain circumstances but i've had 3 iPhones that have been kept 5 years, 3 years and current one is 4 years. My iPad has lasted 7 years and my MacBook Air is 2 or 3 years old and fresh as a daisy. They are expensive, albeit no more than most high end Android devices nowadays, but my experience with Apple has been generally positive. Good quality devices which have served me very well. I'm not baked into the Apple ecosystem as I don't use any of their services so could easily move. I do fancy the new Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 tablet but the general consensus is that Apple is the king of tablets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a Nokia 3310 (not really, but a brick nonetheless) up until March this year when Mum bought me a Samsung Galaxy A30 so you know I'm down with the technology. Call me Inspector Gadgets.

It's at a fancy cocktail bar that my mate works in the kitchen at so I kind of got hoodwinked into organising it. Also one of my older colleague's sons works with us and he is almost a selective mute, she asked me to meet up and look after him ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
