Celebrity Slim...for the lazy!!

Not a question, just a comment on an amusing thing I saw today. As I came round a bend where I lived there was a Celebrity Slim van parked so I had to sit behind it while traffic came by the other way. I saw the person delivering it come out the house they'd been to and then they got back in the van and drove off.....only to pull up 4 houses down to deliver another. Maybe they'd not need to spend on diet aids if they actually walked! It probably took longer to get back in the car and drive than to have walked it.
And no it wasn't raining or anything!

    I'd imagine its all done for show: someone coming to your door with just one meal package makes it look they came especially for you and that your special enough for them to drive all this way. If they had a bundle of stuff for others on the street it takes away the 'just for you' aspect of it and maybe makes it look a little less special.

    Just a thought.
