"£12.50 for a watery, bland takeaway and being screamed at by the driver"

A review of Kings Chinese Take Away by Fiona written on Thursday 2nd of January 2014

I ordered a takeaway from here on New Year's Day. It took an hour and 20 minutes, which was a long time but I had no problem with due to it being busy. The food was bland, tasteless and poor quality (I ordered a veggie Red Thai curry which was really watery). What I did have a problem with was the delivery driver: when he rang me to try and find the building he shouted at me that he couldn't find it and didn't have time for this and told me to come to the door of the apartment block (which i did because I am a delivery driver myself and I often don't go into apartment blocks for safety reasons), and then on his way out he rang me and literally screamed at me that he couldn't get out because the button for the gate was jammed and he was trapped, interspersed with 'OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD' over and over again! The gate wasn't jammed, he was just hitting the wrong button and he wouldn't stay calm long enough for me to explain which button it was, somebody else exited while he was screaming at me down the phone and he slammed the phone down on me. I was pretty gobsmacked. As I said above, I'm a delivery driver. I don't treat customers this way, and if I did I'd get sacked. Just unbelievable. You'd have thought he was trapped in a burning building and he wouldn't stop screaming at me long enough for me to actually help him. Luckily for him I am a calm person and just reasoned that he was probably having a bad day, but my friends who were also in the flat heard his screaming down the phone and told me I shouldn't stand for it so here I am writing this review.

I paid £12.50 for bland, watery food, which took 80 minutes to arrive and got me screamed at in the process. Fk that..
