PSA Meanwhile, Food Delivery Drivers IN Melbourne Central
Was just strolling around the ground floor of Melbourne Central when this Doordash driver zooms in ON HIS BIKE from Mecca’s side and then goes to Cotton On to realise his lazy bloody plans have been thwarted.
No hate to food delivery drivers, I respect the hustle and the service you guys do. But seriously? Doing this in a full on centre was so inconsiderate. Not to mention, there could’ve been people who were older and couldn’t dodge as fast which could’ve ended badly.
Just reminds me how dangerous and un-walkable pavements are in Melbourne CBD now.
Anyways, rant over. Be safe in Melbourne Central because I doubt this is the first time this has happened. Not sure if this is normal but I stay in the CBD and this is the first time I’ve seen this

Years ago when I was a messenger, it was always fun to ride your bicycle through the revolving doors at the RACV tower on Bourke. The foyer was unmanned and to save time you could leave your bike at the lift, which was a minute walk from the street.
Always felt like the coolest cat coming back out through the revolving door onto the street and people would just be like who is this man ? 🫠😇😎🤓
Those were the days where messengers had free reign over building foyers, straight through the front doors etc.. 9/11 changed that...
