Deliveroo Pricing

[Cycleops]

I thought the most shocking thing was seven quid for a piece of cod but I'm probably out of touch.

Is that a Mitchelin star chippy ! Ring a cab to pick it up.

Wimbledon prices innit.
but even in lowly south east London it would be £6 for fish and £2 for chips.

The chippy prices are double what I would pay here!

But the house prices will be five times more expensive. 😀

True, and the salaries will probably be several times higher too.

As another tight northerner I've also got to say, 'how much?'

And I thought it was just beer and house prices, where's markymark when you need him?

Out minting it as a Deliveroo mafia boss.

You have food from restaurants and delivery services count yourself lucky. If we want a pint of milk it’s 7 or 10 mile drive and a long queue

That's expensive fish and chips even before the Deliveroo add-ons.

Friend of mine lives opposite...will have to give it a go post lockdown

Depends what job you do, there is not much difference with many.

Deliveroo looks to me like a complete rip off!

My view would be this. You're prepared to pay what I would consider at least double the rate for fish and chips. You would prefer not to spend say 20 minutes of your time collecting the meal so you can fit in an extra drink. Your journey is non-essential. You would like the convenience of delivery but do not want to pay the rate**.

**If Deliveroo paid their drivers/cyclists the minimum wage and offered job security the charge would in my view be entirely reasonable.

While I don't agree with and wouldn't support a company such as Deliveroo, modern slavery, one has to acknowledge it does potentially increase sales for the chippy. In these troubled times this must be positive.

The problem here is at best 50/50 and that you will be making/have made a non-essential journey tips the balance.

I cannot see the problem, they are not hiding anything and we have no idea of the business costs.

Is exactly what I did last night. Fish and chip tea collected by bike and the normal price paid.😀

And I'll wager that didn't cost you 24 smackers.
Where do they get those prices? Amazing!! I thought ours was expensive @ £6.00.
@Dirk Will have a fit reading that as he pays about £7.00 for 2 in the pub (and it always looks good)
