A Domino's pizza delivery driver from Newcastle said it is a struggle to make ends meet as the chain's refusal to cover the rising petrol charges means he's working at a loss.
The driver, who works at the South Gosforth branch of the major takeaway outlet, said that he only receives £1.20 towards the cost of fuel for each journey he makes, despite the delivery charge for customers being £1.99. But as drivers have to use their own cars and pay for fuel as well as maintenance, the employee - who wishes to remain anonymous - said he is effectively spending more on petrol than he earns.
"There's nothing in it for us," he said. "It used to be a really good job when petrol prices were low. Now, the petrol prices are absolutely out of control, it's crazy.
