Customers blame Checkers Sixty60 rider death on one-hour delivery promises - but he wasn't a grocery delivery driver

I see from your response below that you must have misunderstood my answer to the question of why the delivery time is urgent. I said because of the cold chain. Nowhere did I say it stands around after being picked etc.
Ok, I am with you, indeed, I see you are referring to the time taken to drive from store to your home.

But that is slightly different to the 60min promise, which was the original reason for the haste.
 
But there is something called the cold chain. Order ice cream and get milkshake? No thanks.



It's too MASSIVE to just out it like this. Needs a build-up.
There is something called planning. Your lack of planning shouldn't become their emergency.
 
I wouldn't be suprised if the 60 minutes story is one of the reasons. They way these dashers push their trollies around in store is crazy.
 
If you need your GROCERIES within 1 hour...YOU are the problem.

Simple as that. Checkers has no reason to over promise like this...it isn't a warm pizza ffs.
Some of us have jobs. We don't have a leisurely afternoon to sit in traffic, find parking and then f-around with the rest of the dumbasses doing their essential shopping at 5 PM on a weekday.

The deliveries make sense - the the terrible drivers do not.
Its entirely possible to pick and deliver a small amount of groceries to the area around the store, within an hour.
 
How's that then?
Checkers offers the service, it's a demand made on them by the consumer (according to because said consumers can't plan). You also made a comment about it's not hot pizza, to which I pointed out there is a cold chain.

I would love to hear how you go about your planning to ensure your pizza arrives hot.

I order pizza from a pizza chain that delivers it piping hot...within the time "zone" I requested on their website.

Not sure what any of this has to do with you not planning properly and then having some kind of "grocery emergency" at home?
 
You don't live my life. Don't pretend to know how other people do things and what their challenges are.

and we do plan because we schedule the delivery earlier on in the day.
Hahaha...jirre. What "challenges" do you have so that you require groceries to be delivered within 60 minutes?

How dramatic...hahaha.

Nonsense. We all have jobs...that's nothing to do with it.

It's easy to plan for the week and do some quick shopping on a Saturday or Sunday.

No one is THAT busy...but obviously too lazy to "f-around with the rest of the dumbasses doing their essential shopping".

Firstly I see my haste this morning made me miss a little 3 letter word "NOT" which changed the entire meaning of my sentence. My point was that the hot pizza and the cold chain fit into the same category. I'm just as lost as you on the planning properly bit (but then you were the one to bring it up). Checkers offers the 60 minute service so why not use it? No planning required either.
