Having eaten a Greggs pie (... once!) I doubt it.

£2000 for a failed special, £400 for a PDA.. I've got a better idea. Don't put them in the system as being delivered, or not, until you actually know. If thats the next day, so be it.

Has anyone any idea WHY they are confirmed as delivered at 1.00 or whatever?

I don't even take my mobile to work most days. I don't leak money at work, so I take nothing with me apart from the clothes on my back. Anything above and beyond that ought to be provided by RM. Can't say I'm that bothered if a special 'fails' - we've been told to confirm our specials by 2pm and my card is always in their hands by that time. It's up to them what they do with it.

A PDA is about £400, a failed special is about £2k*, eventually my Dom will get the message it's cheaper to provide shared vans with two PDA's ....simples


*Figure quoted by our bloke in the cage, not sure if this is a true figure or not. My bullshit detector was on max when he said it.
* £2000 is technically correct but what you sent has to be worth £2000 to get £2000
The PDAs are considerably more than £400
I hope not my phone cost £380 and it does a lot more, and better than a PDA will

If you want to find out how much a PDA costs ... why don't you use the massive power of the internet? It's not hard.
