Fast Food Deliveries🌮🍕🍔🍟🥪

Fiona from Henderson

Good afternoon one and all,
I have a quick question for you all, especially those who are proficient with food deliveries.
When you order food on line or by phone and decide to get it delivered, is the delivery person supposed to put the food in your hands or by the front door?
Now this question includes Uber eats as well.
I would be interested as I don't use this service but I have have had a Subway dropped at my front door, on the concrete, not in a bag or anything, just wrapped in paper and I'm up a long driveway. If I hadn't seen someone walking up there, I would never have known.
To make matters worse it was for the next door neighbour - both of our letterboxes are clearly numbered.
She dropped the food on the ground by the front door then started to bolt down the driveway. I opened my front door and she asked over her shoulder as she was rushing off, "For **?"
I said, "NO. They live next door"
She didn't even apologise or say thanks for stopping her - nothing.
So, now I'm curious as to what the correct procedure for food delivery is please.

Smoke in Mt Wellington

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Smoke has been seen coming from the crater of the Auckland maunga Mt Wellington.

Images of the smoke began appearing on social media on Friday afternoon.

Around 1.45pm, Fire and Emergency (Fenz) shift manager Josh Pennefather told the NZ Herald a crew was fighting a fire of about 60 square metres in size.
”It’s spreading up hill … [but] there’s no property at risk at this stage,” Pennefather said.

Six fire trucks were in attendance working to contain a grass fire that's spreading up the maunga.

A helicopter was on its way to assist firefighting efforts, he added.

At 2pm, Pennefather shared that the fire was contained and they were working to extinguish it, including “keeping an eye on a whole bunch of hot spots“.
