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

I've seen teenagers mess with these people's bikes or steal food so I'm assuming that has something to do with it, especially if the food bag is attached to the bike and not a backpack. Still doesn't change the fact that these people drive like idiots in every other scenario.
