Tesco delivery man blasting music

60 replies

I just had my Tesco shopping delivered and the delivery man was blasting music so loud! I could hear it from inside my house whilst I waited for him to knock.

Not massively bothered but seemed odd that they would have it blasting while unloading the van at this time and my young DS has just gone to bed, his bedroom window is at the front directly above.

AIBU or is it a bit unprofessional really?

His job is to deliver the shopping. If he's done that.. I can't get worked up about that too much.

MatthewsMumFromTikTok · 25/10/2023 19:55

Me either..

Same

Our DPD driver constantly plays Polish death metal at high volume on his route. I think it's nice that he's got a bit of personality.
His choice in music doesn't affect your shopping. YABU!

This is about as trivial as it gets.

If some music from a van outside disturbs your sons sleep you must tiptoe about your house after he goes to bed, scared to breath Confused

I wouldn’t be bothered! One of mine has his music on quite loud (I do have afternoon deliveries though).

Wow
How petty

HappiDaze · 25/10/2023 19:58

It would make me smile

Not make me irate in the slightest

Yes mean and petty

Weird isn't to get upset at someone getting a bit of joy in their daily life

It was not after 11pm. If you want the world to be silent before this time, then that is on you to work out.

I bet the driver listening to his choice of music gets him through his working day.

I personally think it's unprofessional. It's a bit like a doctor walking to the waiting room listening to a podcast isn't it? Yes the actual job is seeing the patient, like delivering the shopping...

TimeFlysWhenYoureHavingRum · 25/10/2023 20:00

On the tail end of a long shift its probably helping him keep going /stay awake. It's a very hard job.

Oldthyme · 25/10/2023 20:01

You are not being unreasonable.

I’m afraid it’s probably something we have to live with. I experienced similar with an Amazon Prime delivery guy last week. (Not for my house.)
I was just at the point of stepping outside to complain when he thankfully drove off.
It’s inconsiderate and selfish behaviour but a sign of the wretched and disturbing times we live in.

There should be a special board titled “Posters trying to get people just doing their job in to trouble”

🙄you got your shopping.

bmrising · 25/10/2023 20:03

It's not like I'm going to complain to Tesco and he's going to lose his job. Just saying there's no need at this time, you can have music on without everybody else needing to hear it

No it's nothing like that....how odd!

What time?

BTW, someone is my street is setting off fireworks at this very moment. Can I complain about that?

biscuitnut · 25/10/2023 20:09

Bloody hell. Talk about petty. Whatever gets the driver through his day. Maybe it keeps him awake! It’s a tough job

ChocolateCinderToffee · 25/10/2023 20:10

Honestly OP, have you nothing more serious to worry about?

Maverickess · 25/10/2023 20:15

Is it any wonder that people don't want to work in customer facing jobs when the people they serve are as petty as this?

I wish my children would go to bed for 7:30 😅🫣
What's the trick?!
