The UK is swarming with Dilveroo riders.. Service designed for those who don't like or can't reverse and can't be bothered to pop out to fetch a carryout.

BTW, our company has a policy whereby if we are driving company cars we must revese park them..

I had to look that up -

In the Army, we had to reverse park (combat park). Most other soldiers would wait till I got parked before they would enter the parking lot. -

I worked for a company that required it on all corporate property if you were an employee, including your personal car.

UPS is like that. Everyone leaves at the same time at shift change. The system is like how, in childhood, I was taught to exit the school bus.

Downtown Puyallup was nice but sucks in a 35ft delivery truck. East side of Tacoma sucked.

They tried to get us to apply stickers to our cars at my old job (in addition to having gated parking). I determined my car was more secure if I didn't announce where I worked so it never got applied. Nobody ever checked and they never gave them out to new employees. I think I kept the sticker somewhere just in case lol.
