  1. I read that Deliveroo are going to be declaring earnings of their delivery staff to HMRC from Jan 2024. Am i correct in thinking that until then, earnings have had to be submitted/declared? I wonder what percentage have actually done this? (I figure it will be pretty low).

  2. Here’s my (brief but funny) story: I had just started delivering and was still getting used to the app. I got to this house and it was a “leave at door” so I started getting the app out to take a photo and all that. Before I could even put the food down I heard this awkward shuffle right inside the house, as the main door was open and only the screen door was closed. Then I heard this heavy breathing. I was so thrown off I couldn’t remember how to use the app and was just taking forever to go through the steps… all the while this person was just breathing heavily right out of sight. It was SO AWKWARD!!! But I finally managed to take the photo and scurry out of there. Ah, the joys of being a newb. Thanks for your hard work on the podcast!

  3. Story : earlier this week I got my first ever £10 tip. I delivered a whoosh order to an older lady and her cat 🐈 and I stood chatting with her about cats , and then her job history and customer service 😴 and this went on for quite a while , she was very nice and appreciated the chat I think. Anyway the next day I was noting down my earnings for the previous day and noticed she had tipped me £10🎉🎉🎉🎉 . Just goes to show – be nice and customers will also be nice.

  4. I've recently started Amazon flex because my area is just not busy in the mornings so a morning amazon block is perfect to fill in the gap. So far its been pretty good , still learning lots everytime. The app is great with its navigation and the pay is good. The downside is you dont know where you'll be delivering until you pick up the parcels , but I can see why they do this . But to be honest I've been doing it for a couple weeks now and not really had any issues. What does anoy me is the other deliverers (is that a word🤷‍♂️) giving us more caring deliverers a bad name because of how bad they deliver parcels. I will try to hand over as many parcels to the recipient as possible , obviously many times nobody is in but I always try first where as most driver's seem to knock , zap a photo and run , many will also leave cardboard parcels out in the rain when amazon actually supply you with bags to put them in for this issue and it doesnt take long to bag it up does it , I've only ever had 1 block that has actually taken the stated block time so why some drivers are in such a hurry is beyond me , i like to take my time and do it properly – it cost nothing . If you rush it just gets stressfull.
