Judging by the above quote - yes 😂

We've actually got someone who does that they put one in then start with the next and so on rather than picking up one of each and putting them in together, it takes him f***ing ages

It takes whatever time it takes, RM are paid to allow us to prep and deliver D2D but expect it to be done within a spare amount of time that has long gone

This was sadly me around 20-25 years ago when I was part-time and we got paid by the item.

I used to do d2ds on my own round and then swap rounds with 3-4 other people who couldn’t be @rsed doing them and earn myself an extra £50-£100 each week depending on number of items.
