Trusting that the mod’s allow this one, maybe try casually responding with:
1 ‘Doh-lay’
2 ‘Doh-lay la mo-cho hi’
or
3 ‘Sap-gowaah’
Any of those alone or in combination will cheer him up in Cantonese.
P.S. Please be ready to run fast 
"Your late driver - we cant tip you for 4 hours as you have missed your slot "
" Best news I’ve heard all day . Can you tell me where I can park out of the way for 4 hours so I can get me head down and get some sleep ? I’ve been driving 24 hours straight and I’m shattered ."
After they point you to a corner of the yard - get parked up and pull the curtains . With in 20 minutes they will be banging the door to tip you . It will be the fastest you will ever be in and out of anywhere because they think it will now be funny to tip you and push you out the gate again .
Sad to say “beefy” but very true, typical British worker they get a “Sherman Tank” out of trying to mess with somebody elses life instead of getting on with it “live & let live” is not in their remit !!BTW a big hello Crossrail security re last week

"What the **** , I’m ******* late and I need to get this **** off now . Why are you ********'s holding me up ■■? I have another 14 drops today and I need this **** out of my trailer right ******** now "
"Just park over there driver we will get to you when we can "

Muckaway, have you found the button in the cab to raise the hydraulic rams to tip the flour out the back end yet?
You could ask the garage to fit one in, job done.
Ref= the pallets that they do not want was a job in Milsom Street, Bath, at a very famous TV chef,O J spelt the other way.(Not orange juice.)
The guys and gals on milk tankers have it easy, the cream can not be rushed, it takes hours to pump out, then you have to wash out the tanker, and not implode it by doing the vent taps the wrong way round, well boss it got sucked in.

Do try and keep up Toby, I haven’t driven a tipper since before Christmas. The only hydraulic rams I’ve used are associated witj tail lifts and pump trucks.
Most likely because they have to put up with moaning drivers all day

The moaning would drop considerably if the forkies/warehouse staff staggered their breaks. Why do they need to all have lunch together? It’s not like they don’t get time to stop for a chinwag is it?

They probably go when they are told, to fit in with the serving times in the canteen.

Aaah, happy memories from a pm driver of those food-room places, now often made redundant by ghastly machines and which, when they exist, usually pander to over-patronised 9-5 office workers and tubby day drivers for whom an all-day breakfast is a snack.
It’s noted at my place that the more slim/less fat evening & night drivers take butties or nowt because the management doesn’t overly bother caring about them
On-thread: Seeing a whole shift of forkies, supervisors and warehouse staff, etc miserably ruminating on their often processed cud whilst the warehouse recovers from their oxygen theft surely explains one of this industry’s most significant inefficiencies
