When you order a takeaway for pick up…

[Raymond Lin]

So you order a takeaway that’s not on Deliveroo and collection only. You make the call but you ask your son or wife or friend to pick it up for you. Do you

1 - not tell the wife the name the order was booked under
2 - tell the wife the name it was booked under

Because I have encountered a lot of people collecting orders where they have no idea the names their order was booked under. Because they clearly been asked by their spouse or friend to collect it for them. One particular one a teenager came in to collect and he gave me a woman’s name. But it tuned out the woman put the order’s name under her husband. whom do not share the same surname. So the kid assumed it’s under the woman’s name. No order under that name. Asked for his name, no order under his name. He looks confused as heck.

When asked “do you know what is in the order?” In so to match it up, they go “I have no idea, I didn’t order it.”

Why do people do that?

The best one I had was that someone made an order, it was around 2 bags’ worth and I handed it over. I got a call later telling me I gave him the wrong half. Apparently he went half with his friend and one half was his and he got the wrong food.

I didn’t know mind reading is a thing.

My main take away from this thread is Raymond lin works at a take away.


This is not what I expected.


I also now want to visit th takeawy to see the menus pictures

My parents has one, I go help out from time to time. Especially when I don’t have a wedding on the weekend. I’m a good son

Here's one for you, why is the card machine at both my local Chinese takeaways experiencing technical issues that have lasted for as long as I've used the establishments. I mean, these technical issues are actually outlasting the ink that was used to write the sign in the window.

Are our friends at HMRC really that gullible?

I dunno, the thing is that take aways are not a chain so i don’t know why their machine don’t work. On a different example, my barber who used to take cards until last year, he has gone back to cash during the pandemic.
