OK, no pun or innuendo intended but what would you prefer?
I’m talking about RDC’s.
In an almost ideal world if you could have one of the choices what would it be?
Quickly in, no cue, tipped and reloaded within an hour BUT they treat you like scum, worse than any treatment or service you have had anywhere EVER.
OR
Slow, waiting for ages to get in and then there’s no bay to park on, when you do manage to get onto a bay it takes AGES to get tipped and then they keep you waiting hours for one pallet which never turns up. BUT all the time everyone is friendly, there’s a drivers waiting area with comfortable sofas, a free vending machine.
I don’t like to wait ages, no interest in the waiting room, and refuse to be spoken to like I’m below a warehouse man or security guard or keyboard warrior.
I’ll arrive (as best as I can) at or slightly before my booking time, I’ll be polite, I’ll turn off my engine when speaking etc.
All I ask in return is the same, be polite, do your job, end of.

Why on earth should getting tipped in a reasonable time mean being treated like scum
Anyway the other option you’ve missed is what happens at many RDCs, get treated like something bellow human whilst they take ages to tip you
In and out quickly, and in that time they aren’t going to have enough time to treat me like anything. hand papers in, bloke grunts a bay number. put it on bay, they tip you and the bloke hands the papers back with another grunt. Taht would do me and his attitude doesn’t bother me at all, says more about him.
I don’t get this whole ‘treated like scum’ thing. It only happens if you let it and I am struggling to remember in over 27 years in this industry of an occasion when I have felt I have been treated anything close to ‘scum’.
How do you want me to react? -Full bore or not bite. This guy is not interested in the topic ,just wants to take a dig at whoever’s around. I would welcome a full throttle but the thread is about RDC’s & the other is about a road vid. If he wants to start the slaging off thread let him start one & we will all know whats required.My idea of trolling is thread [zb] & so far he has success with two of them.when I make a comment I don’t need some bored [zb] following me around.
Ok then, slow and friendly, saves me gettin’ banned from the site and I have a lot of comforts in my cab to keep me busy, I’m used to doing ■■■■ all as a container driver anyway, doesn’t matter where I’m doing nothing really
I haste RDC’s with a vengeance for the endless BS and ludicrous H&S routines, luckily on my job i don’t have to visit the holes and if i manage to never do so again that will be fine by me.
There’s some miserable blighters in some of them, sour faced buggers who you really have to feel a bit sorry for, they probably don’t have anyone worth going home to and with a face liked a smacked arse and an attitude to suit it they’re not likely to get anyone either…mind you that could apply to some of the alleged drivers that turn up too.
If you are always polite to them always say please and thankyou and smile even when they have the manners of a pig at the trough then you come away the victor every but every time, and they are shown to be uncouth and ill mannered.
In reality i’ve found most of them to be OK so long as you are, some of them exceptionally nice to deal with and try their best, same can be said for security gates, some miseries some fine, again just like the drivers that pass through.
Probably the most polite and friendliest has been M &S at Magna Lutterworth, the whole place seemed upbeat, infectious almost.

On the thread you linked to he commented on the video, which is completely on topic and he doesn’t have to like the video, then you started taking it off topic by asking him about his signature, which you could have Googled if you simply wanted to know rather than try to have a pop.
